But this isn't the only reason why Pole's Ducal Stable is so important. It provides you with a set of two unique units: Uhlan and Winged Hussar.Д«oth are even better at their respective tasks than their common counterparts, Cavalry Archer and Lancer. When playing Poland, you canвЂ™t forget about their unique building, ruled by King Sobieski himself. Their speed allows them to run past ranged threats such as Archers or Onagers while still being able to hit. Mongols lack Halberdier as well, while Koreans have them.Their stats make them extremely strong against other heavy cavalry, such as Cavalry Phalanx or Elephant archers. Their faster siege is outranged by Korean onagers and cannons, and Mangudai die to bombard towers or extra-range Keeps. Their camels die faster, before they do too much damage. Mongol cavalry lacks the last armor up so they die faster to wagons. War Wagons are already resistant to ESkirmishers, especially the weaker Mongol ones. I would say that now I prefer Cataphracts and Plumed Archers. Longbows combined with ally cavalry form great teams. Their range helps them mainly against siege, but they have nothing to push apart from champions. Their raw firepower is not better than normal arbalests of other civs. Longbowmen are great but they can't push. Not to mention their cost, you cry every time you lose one. And they require good micro or they die before you notice it. They fail big time against masses of skirms, spears or archers. I used to like Longbows and, especially, Mamelukes in the past.

I will give a quick run down and tell which maps each civilization can be good or bad at: Every civilization has maps to be bad at. I imagine it will be like the Composite Bowman fiasco, a bit slow to start, but once it gets going, its clobbering time!Д®very civilization can be useful for some maps. Will probably be hard, I mean 2 upgrades in the castle age, thats the FIRST of its kind (previously, only imperial units could have 2 uprades in the same age) With the new Forgotten Empires allowing 2HS in the castle age and the boosts to LS, certainly, the civs now have optons to go infantry However, if someone sneaks behind your walls, then they can rush you.ДЄrena - monks and units more like siege, since its a small mapД«ut I think Mayans, Mongols, Huns, and Saracens are the most powerful civilizatons. Ie on Black Forest, all civs can play, but definitely civs that can boom good have a great chance. I mean, you don't see tiers like in the first AOE, but civs that have situations where they're good, some civs getting that niche more often than others. There's no one civ that sucks so much it has no chance against anybody.
