Also they are cheaper, train a lot faster. Ah and they have camel armor instead of cavalry armor, so they take significantly less damage from anti cavalry units.No way are imp Elite Camel Archers better than Elite Mangudai. They’re worse in literally every way except 1 pierce armor
Other than the fact they regenerate health and counter cav archers too.

Elite Mangudai fire ~19% faster than Elite Camel Archers, move 0.05 t/s faster, and have +5 attack vs siege. Much stronger imp unit overall. Camel arch are basically just really strong Arbalests (that counter cav archers, which is a big niche), whereas mangs kill all siege which is HUGE and have a way bigger DPS and better hit-and-run coz of their speed.
The Elite Cataphract cries silently in the corner.
The unit takes THE most resources to upgrade (iirc) and still doesn't get featured in anyone's top10.

The same thing would have happened with mangs, once it got to post-imp. There’s no doubt Camel Archers are very strong, but their highest point comes in castle age and very early imp coz of low upgrade cost.Watch Daut carry Secret with just camel archers in their Acropolis game vs aM'.
Viper had Mangudais in that very game and did fine, but Daut's Camel Archers performed better and tanked so much more damage. I think it was a clear display how they are overall strongerThe same thing would have happened with mangs, once it got to post-imp.

Tanked so much more what? The only reason Camel Archers were so strong in that situation is because they directly counter Mangudai. Against everything else, mangs are straight up statistically betterViper had Mangudais in that very game and did fine, but Daut's Camel Archers performed better and tanked so much more damage.
