But if they're equally skilled and the Brit defends well then I think Brit>Mong coz once hunt bonus is gone Mongols have a narrow window to go out and scout rush asap. Neither have an eco bonus in feudal and brits produce archers 20% faster. Mixed in with a couple of defensive spears. I think brits are overall better. Also kinda depends on the map too though.
Scout+bows/skirm >> bow/skirm+spear (20% faster ar wont help unless you are competent waller or got really nice map)
Add some nice laming in dark and fact that Brit run out of sheeps really fast and there we go.
Please tell me if I'm wrong on this, but the numbers should add up correctly.
If both civs, if they have fully upgraded Cavaliers, Mongols have Bloodlines and +2/+2 armour, and Britons have no Bloodlines and +3/+4 armour.
Remember that the Cavalier has 2/2 armour as standard.
In a one-on-one fight, both cavaliers, assuming they are fully upgraded....
Britons 16 attack is reduced to 12 thanks to the 4 melee armour of the Mongols Cav. 140hp divided by 12 damage = 12 strikes to kill it.
Mongols 16 attack is reduced to 11 thanks +3 armour of the Britons Cav. 120 hp divided by 11 damage x 11 strikes to kill it.
If you look at the Chinese or the Turks (the only civs that have Cavaliers with +3/+4 armour and bloodlines as their top of the line heavy cavalry) they would be killed in 13 strikes.
The Mongols would edge it slightly over the Britons but not enough that the Briton player shouldn't make Cavs.
Mongols clearly win on cavalry overall because of their vastly superior hussars and the fact they have camels as an option. But Cavs as Britons are definitely an option.
Mongols only get Pikes with an attack bonus of 22 against cavalry, where as Britons get halbs with an attack bonus of 32 as well as 2 more base attack and 5 more hit points.
Britons best unit composition is probably halbs, arbs and trebs with the odd bit of cavalry thrown in where appropriate. Only if the Mongols get siege onagers with drill do they stand a chance against this. Even then with bracer and yeomen researched, the Britons still make it tough. Without drill it's an easy win for the Brits.
Mongols lack PA on their cavalry so their hussars fall short compared to other civs hussars like turks Spain sara and Persia and Brits will mass alot of archers.
For straight up melee fights mongols cav is better but they aren't great raiders since castle and tc fire kill their cav quicker but they have siege to make up for that.
