This means they have to rely on Trebuchets and Capped Rams to take down enemy buildings, which means their ability to take down enemy buildings is among the worst in the game. Their siege weapons are mediocre, lacking the Siege Onager, Bombard Cannon, and Siege Ram. The free attack upgrades and access to Supplies means a Man-at-Arm opening will be potent, but long-term, they will fall off. They have Champions and Halberdiers, but lack most auxiliary upgrades like Plate Mail Armor, Squires, and Gambesons.

At the University, they lack the Keep, Bombard Tower, Architecture and Fortified Wall. Their Imperial Age unique technology, the Recurve Bow, gives +1 range and attack to Cavalry Archers, which makes them better at everything they do, be it performing hit-and-run tactics, providing ranged support, or dealing more damage.Īge of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties Review Their Castle Age unique technology Corvinian Army eliminates the already-low gold cost from the Magyar Huszar, making it a trash unit. Added to their cavalry roster is their unique unit, the Magyar Huszar, which is a cheap light cavalry unit with an attack bonus against siege units. The Magyars have complete archery and cavalry upgrades except camels and Hand Cannoneers. In team games, the Magyar team bonus is probably more important for archer civilizations (like ], Mayans, and Ethiopians), which can utilize this as an addition to their bonuses, instead of their sole archer bonus, with the Magyar player contributing with cheaper or better cavalry. Either of those opening strategies can be followed up with an Archer rush, which gets a decent +2 line of sight, thanks to the team bonus, enabling them to take calculated engagements. Their Scout Cavalry line has a 15% discount, so they can amass them faster. This helps with both Man-at-Arms and Scout Cavalry rushes. Magyars get Forging, Iron Casting, and Blast Furnace for free, which means that their melee units have a huge advantage in the early game. Villagers can strike down wolves or their equivalent with one hit, allowing them to quickly move near an opponent and build forward bases without interruption. The Magyars are good at rushing in the Feudal Age in a variety of ways, as they have different types of bonuses. 5.2 Disadvantages vs other civilizations.
