1. Never noticed, I never found them that great...

2. no comment

3. Agree, but then again, they needed something to give a little bonus in the beginning, seeing as how the Spaniards are right there with Jinets.

4. They are my fav unit, and I think they are fair seeing as how they are only late, and require like 100 years of production with the fortress, military academy, and the grand mosque. And you can only have one province building them unless you use the exploit of destroying the grand mosque and building it somewhere else.


5. Used them a lot, never really liked them. They are slow and weak, and utterly useless out of the desert.

6. I think they are a little too powerful, especially for the factions who cant make them.

7. I have run some tests, 1 on 1 against fmaa and cmaa, and IIRC they were pretty much equal to fuedals and got schooled by chivs. Their only advantage is the extra men, which has no effect in combat effectiveness, but it lets them cover more area. I was never able to get them to wrap around the smaller units, like some have said works wonders.


new one:

Katanks, early on they are too powerful, especially the royalty that is born at 9 stars and 8 valour. But, then again, by Byz are completely screwed over in high and late.
