Are the Persians OP - yes or no?

Bonuses:

1) x2 HP TC

2) Fast work rate TC

(So basically on Arena it is near impossible to bring down the Persians TC. Even idling one TC with a 1 TC all-in, Persians can just build second TC behind the second wall in Arena and outproduce you.) With the fast repair speed, it is almost impossible to bring down a Persian TC with Rams.


3) Savar

Basically a Cavalier in the Castle Age. Burgundians just a campaign meme civ now.


4) War Elephant

Basically a siege unit from the Castle too


5) Start with +50 food, +50 wood

Can do any strategy

6) Gunpowder castles

No chance of destroying their Trebs, no chance to dodge Ballistics

7) 100 wood Crossbows?

I mean come on, a double gold composition gifted to Persians on a plate
Do you realise how hard it would be with any other Civ, to make a double gold comp like Persians

I forgot about the x2 HP TC, as so many Persian bonuses, and tried to push a Persian TC and Castle and they just hide with Gunpowder castles straight into fast Imp

Even with 2 groups of Teuton Blacksmith Pikemen 15, under TC, the Villagers just teleport in and out of TC repairing it in 2 seconds, destroying rams

Trebbed the Persian castle with 5 Trebs and they repair it from 5% hp,. after 15 TTK attack the foundation too and it still not drop. They take 2000 stone and have 4 castles, even abusing market.
Then they just spam the Cheap Crossbow and Savar with loads of cannons, it's like playing against 5 civs in one
