I'm laughing at the replies to this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe2/comments/ ... s_magyars/ where lots said that Magyars would still not be a prime pick for 1v1 Arabia. And here they are now, being a top 10 pick for a massive AoE2 Arabia tournament. 11
This also brings me to a question; if people are going for cav archers as Magyars, even in the castle age where they have no immediate bonuses, then why aren't other civs like Saracens also making them? The consensus in AoC was that Cavalry Archers were too expensive and Crossbowmen would just be better, which made sense, and when the expansions reduced their cost, the consensus still didn't really change (except maybe for Mongols), however now that the Magyars are being played at a high level we're actually seeing them in castle age instead of Crossbowmen, despite the fact that they lack any castle age bonuses, so I'm wondering do you guys think the meta on CA will change with other civs that have acceptable CA (like Saracens, Japanese, and Indians)?
