so far as i know, only 3 civs get this. Sarcs, Japs, and Turks.
with a total of 6 pierce armor (parthian tactics and ring archer armor), nothing in the castle age besides knts and several uu's can touch them. and they can kill mangonels, bcuz mang has 6 armor. even if protected y knight escort, ca will still be able to kill mangonel... 12 ca will kill it in two volleys! and easily avoid throw one. in my opinion, their an extremely good raiding unit against someone who is in castle or JUST imped.
it takes a minute:10 in imp to get the two techs for armor. imo this looks like a very good option for raiding, because its rare that the opponent will have enough tc's to garrison more than half the vils. walls wont be able to stop this either.This makes ca a very attractive raiding unit, because of their vil killing power and ineffectiveness of enemy arrows in early imp.with either bracer or chemistry they will beat knts in good terms (turks get free chemistry, a boost to their archers) but still i prefer as a xbow > imp armored ca rather than going pure ca.
This is a nice thing to go if you already have archer techs, as it will kill much.
