Samurais?

Post by yemshi »

Do they have any use?
I know they are no ashi/yumi and basically a halb and they should not be used.
But still?
Against any civ?
I imagine vs aztecs because of the lack of muskets and the fact they dont age.
So question is not if they are good, question is if they CAN be used :)

Even vs aztec they are too slow imo. Also they cost a lot of res for the actual damage they deal.

But they have some good multipliers to their damage, high HP, and that really cool area damage (I love area damage :D)

Why make samurais when you have Ashis that do the same job but better?

They only have a 1.15 multiplier vs elephants according to aoe wiki (http://ageofempires.wikia.com/wiki/Samu ... mpires_III))

Edit: Alright, already has been said.

Edit2: Garja''s right

Apart from the cavalry multiplier being 1.75, that is correct. Except, of course, as far as Siege Elephants are concerned...

Aside from countering cuir spam, there is no legitimate use for samurais. They are in the same camp as halbs, slow units, only good at lame base rushes.
