AOE II: DE | Japanese Heavy Cavalry Archers vs Unique Cavalry Archer Units (Equal Resources) |

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition

I forgot to add Georgians Heavy Cavalry Archers!!!

Personal Comments:

This scenario is based on equal total resources from the units. The units presented refer to units with cavalry archer armor. Thus, Arambai, Genitour, Elephant Archer and Conquistador are included as well.

With +2 attack bonus vs archers. Japanese Cavalry Archers become superior against other cavalry archers since they also have archer armor. The only cavalry-archer-line which can win against Japanese is the Magyars. Although in 1v1 they lose to Japanese, in mass battle they are better because of the increased range from Recurve Bow.

Units Information:

The Heavy Cavalry Archer is a mounted archer unit in Age of Empires II that can be trained at the Archery Range once the Imperial Age is reached. It is a fast cavalry with ranged attack which is ideal for hit-and-run attacks.

This 60-number-of-unit scenario is based on the maximum number of a unit group and suits to 200 population setting.

This video is somewhat similar with MikeEmpires, and I do not mind it being called plagiarism. I personally was highly inspired by MikeEmpires himself and AgeArena (no longer updating). If you want to see good quantity and quality of videos, you can visit their channels.
