Speeding Up Tien Chi Spring and Autumn ?!

yeah i agree now too . but barbarian kings is also 1+ forced turmoil but has much worse mages and only very slightly better troops so i think they should be at a higher priority list with balancing . similiar candidates that come to my mind are Golden era arco and caelum RoTr .
but before balancing themes adding themes to nations without themes (e.g. machaka ) or adding the 3rd water race i would even wish more for .

but balancing weak themes a bit is probably much easier to do than adding a completely new theme/nation .

the final problem with improving a theme by strengthening it is imho that they may get a too good boost and become too strong .
