Do you have any tradition games uploaded where you attacked with crossbows or cav-arty? If you remember what civ you played I can look for it. Just trying to watch some vids of somebody doing a timing in context
Tipis are definitely not mediocre lol. Of course if you don’t get plains, your game is gonna be sad. But the tipi is probably the single best UI in the game. It turns awful land (no fresh water plains) into some incredible tiles. It’s very consistent due to how common plains are in general. The 10% is not game changing but you can certainly use it to your advantage in some instances
