No, it applies also to ranged infantry units like skirms. Same as falcs.

I don't get this, rajputs have the same stats (slightly better actually) as disciplined changdaos yet people say rajputs suck and changdaos are OP. Maybe rajputs are a bit overpriced but i don't think it is a bad unit at all.
I'd like to know who called changdaos OP lol. They're a kind of mix of halb and pike, which means it can't be very good at all. You see them in the chinese units composition only because you always get some of them when you make skirms, and because the 11 changdaos shipment is worth a lot of resources. If china had goons, or even if they just relied on manchus + cav and were able to produce skirms separately, you probably wouldn't see changdaos on the field. Changdaos also happen to be shadow-teched to veteran.
Either way, rajputs are just too expensive, which makes them not cost-efficient, aka shit. Changdaos are cheap as fuck, cheaper than an european pikeman (in terms of villager seconds). Rajputs cost much more, but have barely more hp. Hp is a very important stat for a melee unit; with their musketeer-hp (though they cost almost 50% more then those) they will get sniped really fast.
