HOUFNICE vs EVERY UNIQUE UNIT | AoE II: Definitive Edition

The Houfnice is a unique upgrade of the Bombard Cannon for the Bohemians.
The Houfnice can take up to 23 fully upgraded arbalest bolts, compared to 16 for a Bombard Cannon. It also has a 70% larger blast radius, making it more effective against massed infantry and foot archers. It flips the trade against Siege Onagers, which kills Houfnice in 2 shots but only needs 1 Houfnice shot to be killed. It's the other way around for ordinary Bombard Cannons.
It's higher pierce armor also means it takes 1 damage from fully upgraded elite skirmishers, rather than 2 damage like a bombard cannon would.

200 mills vs 200 folwarks pls

This comment needs more likes.

I love how the Karambit, which is pretty much the definition of cannon fodder seemingly had no casualties.

[@abdullahtokgoz]

Its blast damage is like my dreams. Simply (with numbers) ranged units are no chance against this unit.

[@JohnSmith-tg9wc]

Yeah but what's the likelihood in someone massing 20+ of these lol

[@markuskramer120]

Mangudai is ranged though

[@werothegreat]

Hmm looks like the AI for the Houfnice gets reaaaalllly buggy when opponents close in - they really should have won the fight with the War Wagons, but two of them trundled too close and the Houfnice just stopped attacking.

[@Slashixuz]

Those two longbows at 0:16 started zig-zagging a bit too late 😁

[@Hamanuna]

To be honest I'm really sastified with the dlc, now I'm waiting for the new balance changes (specially for the suprisingly cheap Obuch)

[@ietsbram]

these tests are reaaaaally unreflective of actual in game performance

[@Igor369]

What?! A test of 20 units that cost 80 food vs 20 units that cost 170 food and 85 gold does not reflect in game performance?! Outrageous.

[@LaveshNK]

yes but cannon go brr

[@SvanTowerMan]

That one Huskarl was playing dodgeball.

[@LotuX_Lach_05]

I think will be one of best unit for the professional players and other players, I think this is one of the best update of all.

[@humanbass]

Now imagen them with the 25% more damage from burgundians

[@vblongneck8515]

Plus turks stats with extra hp and range

[@liszarezo3658]

3:10 What the...? Are They win? Seriously?

[@Felix-nh5pw]

Houfnice is OP as hell with such blast radius it feels like long range onager which is very good against buildings too. In close map with halbs combo they are invincible.

[@aoe2and3fan]

Winged hussars are missing... :-( They really ARE unique units, the tech tree says so! :-/ Otherwise great video! :-)

[@Pandadude-eg9li]

Congrats, your Teutonic Knights did well!

[@njdutoit]

An impressive new unique unit that STILL loses against War Elephants.

[@Mattroid99]

As if this was ever a realistic situation lol

[@alexnguyen3022]

This unit is way too strong imo. Their blast radius is insane.

[@zwedana1120]

most of the battle seem disappointing.

[@Tukutozuka]

gran civ de polvora, pero caballeria bastante mala

[@diffigawesomedick6986]

The Houfnice is not so nice...or rather not worth the high costs of the upgrade.

[@proxwarrior33]

Dodgeball

Se fueron al carajo, fijo la nerfean en menos de 3 meses, encima sacan civis de culturas no relevantes ya no saben que mas meter para vender xD

¿Polonia y Bohemia no relevantes? Usted si que necesita tomar un libro de historia.
