What do people think is the best civilization for a 4v4 game with Cavalry Archers?
Combining Hussars, Cavalry Archers and Siege would be an interesting combination.
If you want to go straight into CA and have cost efficient trades with arbs, probably Tatars.
Turks and Magyars are good.
But free thumbring means you can go 4 range to start castle and have a competitive ballistics time.
Magyar have the strongest with micro, but without Tatar, Turk, and Magyar are all pretty much equal vs non-counter units.
Tho Magyars are the best vs knights due to +1 damage, and Turks vs skirms because HP is better than armor against bonus damage.
Huns get rolling really easily but fall off in post imp, losing on a balanced resource basis against all the other 3 listed.
Tatars and Huns, since Cav Archers have game-ending potential if you can get them from early Castle Age, with Fletching and Bloodlines done as you go up or as part of an earlier rush.
This is the age where skirms can be avoided and siege isn’t in play yet.
Thumb Ring is absolutely vital for CA and Tatars get it for free instantly upon hitting Castle.
This also means you can spend that wood to drop a TC or an extra Range and/or houses, while leaving your production unaffected.
Huns for the same reasons, especially for pure numbers (like 3 Ranges if greedy) since cheaper CAs and no houses from Dark Age means wood savings and no risk of getting housed.
Persians…
Because of Kamandaran..
Aztecs.
It’s always aztecs if asking whats the best cav civ
check out my flair
Magyars for sure.
I meant to pick Magyard.
If you dont mind other form of CA, then u could also try elephant archer (bengalis, dravidian, gurjaras), ballista elephant (khmer), War wagon (korean), Conquistador (spanish).
Dravidian and korean have worse stable compare to other civ however.
All the civ above also have quite good siege especially korean.
For team game, u dont need hussar, just ask your teammate to go for that
Huns, Turks, Tatars, Mongols, Magyars.
I’d say mongols for BF because they can snipe onagers easily.
Otherwise Huns are great because they’re cheaper, Turks get more hp.
Japanese, because no one ever expects it!
Is there a reason people aren’t bringing up the Cumans?
I’m new here and was thinking about trying them out.
Magyars (FU + UT gives 1 rng and dmg)
Turks (FU + UT gives 20 HP, free chemistry)
Mongols(only lacks last archer armor but fires really fast also MANGUDAI)
Tatars (FU + free Parthian tactics and thumb ring)
Huns ( only lacks last archer armor + %15/%20 discount on castle/imp)
*Side note this civs all have decent hussars even some of them have good bonuses for them, it’s perfect pair for CA cuz they are fast meat shileds for them, counters skirms and costs food while CA costing gold and wood.
Vietnamese: Fully upgraded + %20 more HP.
Has light cav only lacking blast furnace.
I mostly play CA/hussar civs.
Huns, Turks, Magyars, mongols and Tatars are my main civs.
Vietnamese is so underrated…
Turks have survivability bonuses to their Hussars, Cav Archers and a range upgrade to their Bombard Cannons (+ towers and galleons).
Mongols have Hussars with more HP and faster firing Cav Archers, and then the speed racing Siege Rams on top.
Best Civ doesn’t matter so much as user skill I’d say.
