For late game the chinese usually go chucks, which by the way is a pretty solid paladin killer, as long as they face the paladins without plumes or siege. But as implied chucks are very weak to siege or plumes because of their low range and HP. Generally it seems paladin are a better performing unit late game. If we add in the trade bonus spanish certainly seem to come out on top.
On a side note, I wonder why in 4v4s when mayans are faced with paladins and SO they still keep spamming plumes when these units absolutely shreds plumes(each arrow does a measly 2 dmg to a paladin) when they instead could go el dorado eagles which cost effectively beat paladin?
The only good counter to el dorado eagles are champs and its derivatives or plumes, and no ones gonna do champs anyway. I guess hc are good as well.
what the hell man, paladins rape eagles and plumes arent a counter to eagles lol, they do 1 damage
