Warrior Monks

[Danny]

Did warrior monks get nerfed more?
I coud've sworn they got the benefit from Scythia's attack bonus against weakened units and heal on kills.

I really like the idea of warrior monks but they get so few bonusses already, now they can't even get civ specific bonusses?! :(

Warrior Monks ought to benefit from Tomyris' ability Killer of Cyrus. I haven't tested recently to be sure that they still are, but if they are not then that is probably unintended. If you are using any mods then confirm that they are not responsible, and if not then report the problem to Firaxis.

No mods and no add ons active, didn't get +5 damage against damaged units.

Not that I don't believe you, but you could you provide a screenshot for documentation purposes?

You can see that the archer gets the bonuses, but the warrior monk does not.

My guess would be that the reason for this (mechanically) is that the warrior monk is a religious unit, and I'm assuming that her bonus isn't applying to religious units. That seems like a bug or a design flaw to me, though, because the bonus does not state that it does not apply to religious units. So, you may want to file a bug report with Firaxis.

I wish warrior monks were strong like in real life. A Shaolin monk could walk into any bar and trash all the beer drinkers in it with ease and leave the place a mess of upturned tables and smashed glasses, drunk rednecks strewn all about looking like Omaha beach on D-day including a couple of UFC veterans flopped over the bar knocked out with a few of their girlfriends also added to the carnage while the rest rush out the exits, and the bartender begging for mercy despite having several firearms under the counter. I think a natural +5 to their attack is the least Firaxis can do to prop them up a bit.

A bit odd to compare monks to drunks, rather than the professional military units they’re generally pitted against in the game of Civilization VI, innit?

Someone might check how they’re interacting with Wars of Religion.

Aachen you have convinced me that monks should be nerfed to be useless. I forgot the level of intellect on a Civ forum is too high level to reason with.

Hey, you’re the one to follow “I wish it were more like real life” with what read like a scene from a movie.
