How about doubling the damage and changing the interval to 3000 and duration to 9000?
Without patch: Total damage of 2 (8000 / 4000 * 1).
Current patch: Total damage of 6 (8000 / 4000 * 3).
Proposed patch: Total damage of 6 (9000 / 3000 * 2). The advantage is that it is more visible that the entity is losing health due to a SE.

Indeed as of right now iber champion cavalry's fire damage has very little effect. I like the proposals in this patch, either borg or Freagarach values
That said are Freagarach's values really equivalent? For example if an iber champion cavalry constantly attacks a building, is the 'Duration' constantly extended or something different happens?

Other than that I have the feeling skirmisher champion cavalry might be quite strong, but I have no problem about iber's one being stronger because I feel this civ doesn't have a lot going for it.

The effect stacks. So if it attacks another time, there is a seperate timer that runs for the new effect.

I see. Then just in case I will do some experiments with the new values I think.

I think there is an issue with the patch (file path)

Yes, you'll have to apply it manually (just change the number). It happens more often with @borg-'s patches.

While they may not be as strong as they used to be in A23, they're still stronger than comparable units.

Is an alternative, the end result would be the same.

@wraitii some opnion?

I think Freagarach's values are a bit more natural, it makes fire damage more continuous.

I think I like Freagarach's version more too, but the increase from 2 to 6 seems OK, it's rather minor compared to the base damage I guess.
