Just watching Villese Lithuanian Knights/Cavs/Pala destroying Vivi. IMO, this civ with +8 Cavaliers or Paladins (or +6kts in castle age) - in 1v1s combined with the best skirms along 2-3 other civs - are just way too strong if they manage to pick up some relics.
My Suggestions for a balance change is simply to remove Blast Furnance, so they end up with +6 or +7 if you extend the relic bounus back to 5.
Still ridicoulus, but right now if you compare them to Farimba Cavalier for example: Getting Farimba costs like 700f/400g or somethging like that? Compared to Lithuanians:
- getting 3 relics in castle age is not a big task, if you put some focus on it, the relics themselves will pay off the investment into a monestary and 2-3 Monks many times if the game goes on, while Malains need a castle and pay for farimba
- Lith. Bonus counts already in castle age, where you can have waaay stronger KTS, while Farimba is only researchable in IMP
- Lithuanians also get Paladin Upgrade on top of all this, while malians have to stick with Cavalier
- on the other Hand, Farimba ofc also affects Light Cav and Camels, while the Relics dont affect any trash units, just their KTS and Leitis
feel free to post other suggestions about nerfing Lithuanins, if you think it is needed
