What's the point of mangudai?

[Sayers]

Hi

Playing genghis khan campaign. Whas the point of mangudai? I know they are good against seige weapons. Is that all?

Any other advantages they have or tips on how to use them?

Thanks

Use a few of them to go raid your opponants buildings and just see how effective they are :)

10 or better 20 of them can demolish an unprotected farm or Mine and vaniosh into the mist before your enemy can kill any oif them.

I know they are fast, but don't they have less range and attack strength than crossbowmen?

Pfff lol my friend u are beyond wrong: arb-->10dmg, mangudai--> 12 ; fire rate: arb-->1,7 , mangudai -->1,4; while the hp&speed of a mangudai is literaly 2x of an arb...
PS: there are 4 mounted&ranged 'teror units' in this game: mangudai,arambai,camel archer,conquistador and of all when fully upgraded the mangudai is without a doubt the most dangerous one...

The second you right-click the second they throw the arrow (no shooting delay). It's the only unit capable of doing that, so it's perfect for raids: Shoot-retrait-shoot-retrait

Try Spirit Of The Law channel in YouTube, he explains all units and civilizations very well!

There are many hidden nuisances like faster turning rate, little bit higher movement speed and perhaps most important of them all: fast attack animation (nearly instant in AoK).
This allows the Mangudai to pull off some insane micro plays.
