Saracen Buff Idea

One of, if not the weakest civs at this point in time. Hard to play with. How is this civ getting chewed up by the Burmese and Aztecs lol? Sara and Byzantium would own them in real life.

Idea: Change Market building discount price (75 wood) to include Monastery as well. Why? The early Muslims (The ones who migrated to Madinah) had very meager resources, few vegetation, and still built houses of worship that held very pious men worshipping God within. See Quba Mosque.

UT: Zealotry. 750 food 800 gold is way way way too high to buff only two units. Give Hussars and Champions +30 hp as well and perhaps the ability to attack 2X as hard when down to under 10 hp. Give Sara Imperial Camel too. They have a deep belief in the Afterlife so undoubtedly they will fight harder till the end as witnessed by their victories in Badr, Khaybar, against the Persians and Romans etc. Just as strong (actually stronger) religious zeal the Vikings had (Valhalla) and they get Berserkgang.

OR

UT: Fasting. 500 wood 200 gold Should give you the option to produce 20 villagers, instantly, without any food as during the migration to Madina they had scant resources and they periodically take a month of their year to fast from dawn to dusk.

Change the UT: Madrassa to UT: Ilm. University and Monastery techs are 50%. This can be seen as the rapid intellectual growth in the Golden Age. OR UT: Iman: give their Imams the ability to convert units 75% quicker.

Also, the Teutons are resistant to conversion but Saracens aren't? That don't make sense. Give them at least the 4X resistance too or free Heresy.

Take out the archer and cav archer bonus and the transport ship bonus.

Feel free to add your own input or feedback. I think if the developers consider these changes, they can finally be a viable random map civilization, hopefully.
