3:26 teutonic knight does a little spin for flair in the bottom right of the skirmish

[@elduquecaradura1468]

I find sorta hilarious that Hussite Wagons fell with ease againt paladins, since historically HW were the doom of heavy cavalry in north balkans xD

[@iamrapidrocket]

Bohemians get a bonus against cav on their spear line tho

[@xadex3352]

Just like in the game, they probably had infantry support though.

[@EzioIlMentore]

Who would win? A bunch of heavily armored knights || Some topless bois with wobbly swords.

[@widodoakrom3938]

Frank paladin probably better

[@thebloodwolf9906]

Old Lithuanian paladins with 4 relics

[@karthiksheshadri6600]

the wavy swords would probably disorient most horses (and knights) with the shock of metal on metal contact. This is actually quite different from a sword which is a more pointed weapon, its like facing arrows from all directions at once but from a closer distance. Having said that, urumi warriors would be easy to kill once the initial shock is absorbed. I imagine these would sort of trade almost equally. There is nothing particularly special about heavily armored knights. History has shown that they can lose both to much less armored man with long pikes, and to much less armored camels with short swords. The only thing that is known for sure is that they are superior to similarly armored european infantry. This says nothing about how the idea would generalize against other historical armies from around the world..even the aztec warriors with nothing but jaguar skins over their heads traded reasonably with european knights. The armor that you are talking about was designed specifically to withstand either pointed jabs from a sword or absorb arrow fire. And its very effective at both. But any design choice comes with its own set of disadvantages. Both the clunky armor and the weakness of the animal can become issues when dealing with a novel adversary.

Paladin is like lion to most of unique units, but kitten to halberdier

[@GinAI16]

I see Ninja have +9 VS Heroes , why you didn't make Ninja vs Every Heroes? Just my opinion and request 😁

[@anti-h2894]

17:03 ok that Was unexpected.

[@darkdill]

Urumi Swordsman are a unit you just don't want to fight in melee if you can avoid it, especially once they're fully upgraded. They ignore armor, their charged attack does splash damage, and they're reasonably cheap and easy to mass. There are a few melee units that beat them (Elephants, Konniks, Coustilliers, Leicei with 4 Relics), but in general you want to use ranged units whenever possible. Siege also rips up Urumi's, and Dravidians lack a lot of counters to siege. Bombard Cannons are something the Dravidians presently have no answer for.

[@GinAI16]

Can you make Kamayuk with Dravidians Civ VS Unique Units?

[@ageofstrange657]

Total Ressources is fine and all, but what about the upgrade cost? 11

[@HyunAOP]

That extra melee armour so good Vs melee units They demolished cataphracts

[@dipeshpatel1934]

Literally any paladin beats Cataphracts… even shitty Byz ones, also certain civ’s Cavalier like Malians or Bulgarians will win as well. Maybe generic Cavalier idk tho.

[@cmlcml415]

@@dipeshpatel1934 Yes, generic cavalier wins them too, because Cataphracts are more expensive so they are less numbers

[@eruidfhjcvbn]

@@cmlcml415 only 10 food difference lol

[@cmlcml415]

@@eruidfhjcvbn yup, but having two or three more unit makes big difference sometimes lol (not to mention cavalier has higher attack and Cataphract logistica doesn't do much to bigger size troop because of the small aoe)

[@LordAgamiS]

6:37 viva Perú gaaaaaa

[@GinAI16]

And i want to see Crusader Knight vs Unique Unit Again ,Please❤️

[@meghnilkalita5847]

This urumi unit is way op for its price

[@rishabhraj5515]

Provided they can catch them...

[@michaelqiu9722]

Not at all in practice.

[@darkdill]

Urumi's only look good in this kind of vacuum test. In practice, they're easily shot down by archers and flattened by siege units. Dravidians are weak against strong siege civs because they lack good counters to enemy siege. They actually have *no* good counter to Bombard Cannons.

[@llSuperSnivyll]

Keep in mind that, while they flatten nearly anything on closed quarters... they are terribly weak to ranged attacks.

[@Johnathan737]

If I play Turks I can mow them with jannisaries

[@haiduongthanh3162]

How about huskarl(teutons)

[@thebloodwolf9906]

Expensive but OP

[@GinAI16]

Sorry for spamming but i really love this game since i was a kid

[@LightKnight_Age_Of]

These Poles demons... They really need a nerf. (even though it's true that they're esp good against armoured units)
