Give Italians Siege Engineers

Italians had a rebalancing in the latest patch that reduced their bonus on dock technologies from 50% discount to 33% discount and got a new discount for university techs, a 33% discount as well.

Now this was clearly a rebalancing to nerf them on water and buff them on land, which is absolutely the right move to make, as they're the undisupted #1 civ on water and lackluster on (open) land maps.

However, the university tech discount is pretty weak. In a normal Arabia game you're probably getting ballistics, masonry, chemistry and maybe Architechture. That's 264 rescources saved in Castle age and 330 in Imperial. That's honestly pretty whack.

The 100 wood you save on ballistics is kinda nice if you're going for Xbows with fast ballistics, but other than that the bonus is completly meh.

Add to the fact that they have a bonus for gunpowder, yet have weak BBC without Siege Engineers it seems entirely clear for me that they need Siege Engineers (and with that a full university) to improve them further on open maps both in 1on1 and in Teamgames.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
