      Another point of view that wasn't brought up in this video: Often times Malians use Farimba Cavalier/Heavy Camel in early/mid Imp, and that way have "free" upgrade for their light cavalry line as well when they get more relevant in post-imp, in comparison to generic civs that still need to pay for the expensive upgrade.

      They arguably have the games best Cav Archers, Hussars (as Huszars), and trash units (Huszars). Imho the last two points are overrated and really like 5th or 6th best, but that's still a good combo for a civ to have.

    • @markvanderwerf8592

      probably all around best tech tree in the game. Fully upgradeable arbalests, fantastic cav archers, champs/halbs only lacking last armor (which is not a big deal as you ony tend to make these units against other melee where 1 armor is a minor thing) and then super cavalry. One of the best unique units that is just a flat out upgrade over the most popular trash unit.
      But they lack an eco upgrade.. so still quite far behind civs that do have them. Economy > versatility. Civs like Chinese and Malians have slightly worse tech trees but big bonusses to help out.

      ​@@LumosX This is your friendly neighbourhood Hungarian here. You are almost correct. The Hungarian spelling is Huszár, and the plural of it is Huszárok. The pronunciation is slightly different from the English one, you put the emphasis on the first syllable, which is pronounced exactly like the word "who" in English. The pronunciation of the second syllable is almost identical to the English one, except the Hungarian "á" is a bit more open. And indeed when you write not "sz", but "s" in Hungarian, it is pronounced like "sh" in English, or "sch" in German. The word "shock" in Hungarian for example is spelled as "sokk", but pronounced the exact same as in English.
      The name, Hussar (or, Huszár) by the way originates probably from Serbs, but the Hungarian army was famous for this kind of cavalry. They fought with long spears and had a shield. The winged Hussars depicted in the game were more characteristic for the Polish army in the late 16th, early 17th century. Unlike in Age of Empires however, they were considered to be heavy cavalry.

      "sz" =/= "s" in polish.
      Also, we would have 2 different names for those units: "huzar" and "husarz". Depending on what years/ country of origin of a military formation do we talk. :)
      If it's winged one, the polish proud xD then it's Husaria (as formation) and husarz (as a single man). Which is funny, because our winged hussars were half-heavy / heavy cavarly.
      And the one from Hungary i would call "huzar" and for me it rings a bell those would be more versatile, scout-ish, light armored, with guns (our polish heavy-armored also had simple guns, but not as primary or secondary weapon) and maybe pikes but way shorter then polish ones.

    But why do they have wings?
    Wikipedia: Hussars of the Polish Commonwealth were also famous for the huge wings worn on their backs or attached to the saddles of their horses. Several theories attempt to explain the meaning of the wings. According to some, they were designed to foil attacks by Tatar lasso; another theory maintains that the sound of vibrating feathers attached to the wings made a strange sound that frightened enemy horses during the charge. However, recent experiments performed by Polish historians in 2001 did not support any of these theories and the phenomenon remains unexplained. The wings were probably worn only during parades and not during combat, but this explanation is also disputed. Because Poland has a large population of devout Catholics, it seems possible the wings and uniforms were meant to resemble St. Michael the Archangel.

      Not saying that it isn't a strong strategy, but flooding an enemy base with hussars or mixed kipchaks and hussars is very costly. It's hard to maintain that rate of production until the late game, where as cumans you will also be funding your siege, and the other team almost always has pikes and skirms waiting for you. Imho in practice they aren't top 5 material.

      @@jimtim1144 The only advantage of the Tatar Hussars over generic Hussar is against the Imperial Skirmishers (or Aztec Elite Skirms). A FU Imp Skirm has 8 attack (9 for Aztec Imp Skirms) and Tatar Hussar has 7 pierce armor instead of a generic FU Hussar's 6. Meaning Imp Skirms/Aztec Elite Skirms only does 1 damage to Tatar (And Aztec Imp Skirm does 2) instead of 2 (3 for Aztec).

    Wanna know a really funny fact? There's a german folk song called "Blankenstein Husar", which is about the cultural heritage of a person, a hussar, whose roots are in the land.. of Magyar! The man was born there, by the Danube river; his most valuable asset is his horse, also from Magyar, given by his father; his grandfather from Magyar left him the sword he uses; and the last good wine he drank also comes from Magyar.
    Knowing this song from my half-german childhood, I've always wondered if any of the AoE2 content creators had ever heard it before helping design the Magyar Hussar unit...

      @@smallpseudonym2844 The unit itself was created by Corvinus. Though initially it mainly consisted of Serbian refugees the unit was part of the Hungarian army ever since it's existence, so the unit technically originated from the Kingdom of Hungary. This is why I think giving the best hussars to the Hungarians (instead of Slavs) is more fitting and it's something the AoE2 got right.
      What AoE2 didn't get right is that early Hussars didn't wear wings, neither were they light cavalry.

      @@12171010011010 - "Weak"? Farimba effectively replaces 2 and 1/2 techs (Paladin, Hussar, 1/2 of blast furnace), making it extremely cost effective for what it does. The entire Malian set of cavalry is very effective lategame because of that one tech, and easy to transition back and forth between them.

    • @12171010011010
      @12171010011010 Před 4 lety +2

      They are missing Paladins, Hussars and Blast furnace. And they end up saving costs at a point in the game when those costs are more affordable. The cost effective window post imp where you can mass units but not afford their techs is *extremely narrow* And once the enemy upgrades their units they are strictly superior.
      - Light cav end up with 3 more attack, but have a lower attack speed and 15 lower hp than Hussars, so in the end they are *worse*
      - Cavaliers get 1 more attack than Paladins, but lose 40 hp and 1 pierce armor. Again, they are *much worse* especially so since the benefit of paladins is their bulk.
      - Heavy camel's benefit the most, but they are much more situational than the other two cav units due to their complete lack of armor. And in the situations they are used in they are given an extra 9 attack damage anyway. So +3 is relatively low in practice.
      On top of everything else, the Malian civ is special in that it is at its strongest in *castle age* You don't want to go into imperial unless the fight is dragging on too long. And if you do, you have a cheap and fast tech that can boost your army's damage by a little bit. That's its purpose. You saying that the malian cavalry excel in the lategame is *complete BS*
