Goths

⚔️ Goths

Overview

The Goths are generally well balanced. Their identity—relentless infantry pressure—works and doesn’t need rewrites.

Strengths

• Infantry massing and momentum feel correct for the civ’s identity.

• Strategic flow is coherent; no glaring over- or under-tuned mechanics beyond pop scaling.
  
  

Weaknesses

• None that require changes beyond population scaling fairness.
  
  

Proposed Fix

• Replace “+10 population space in Imperial Age” with “+10% population cap.”
  
  

Design Reasoning

A flat +10 pop is arbitrary: it’s too impactful in low-pop lobbies and negligible in high-pop ones.
A +10% cap scales fairly at any lobby cap and preserves the civ’s identity as a flood civilization without breaking balance.

Examples (for clarity)

• Pop 200 → 220

• Pop 300 → 330

• Pop 500 → 550

This keeps Goths’ theme (bigger army ceiling) but ties it proportionally to the room available, making the bonus consistent and fair across all settings.
