"Style" civs versus cheese civs. My thoughts on the 2 most recent civ updates.

When AOE 2 DE came out, the new civs were overpowered, but I thought the kits were so cool! Konnik being able to fight again after being de-horsed, Cumans having the option go aggro or defensive in fuedal age through their second TC/Siege Workshop option, Tatar hill bonus and Lithuanian relic bonus. These are all new unique additions to the game that add a new element and style to gameplay. I was a huge fan of the konnik idea in particular from a coolness standpoint. But, after playing today with the new expansion I realized both of these new civs are cheese civs. Yes, they do add a unique element, and honestly the power level wouldn't bother me either way, I just wish they weren't so cheesy. Let's be honest, people would not play as much if every game was a Persian douche or Incan tower rush, it's just not as fun (if you are the defender). I get a similar feeling playing against Burgundians and Sicilians, since I know their own cheese strategy is coming for me. Anyways, I am still very thankful for the new expansion, and I think we have a great game here! That's just my review on this particular expansion.

TL;DR don't like the new cheese civs as much as the stylistic civs of DE. 2/5 Stars for me
