Mangudai - Just pump them out as soon as you have a Castle and research the Elite upgrade as soon as you can when you're in Imperial. Alot of people use this food for the Mongol Scout Cavalry rush. In the Feudal Age, you can get 400-500 Food from Deer very, very rapidly. You will power through the Dark Age because you are chowing down on the Wild Boars much faster than everybody else. It's kind of a no-brainer but I'll explain it: you only use it a couple times on most maps but it gives you a huge boost.

Hunting bonus - This is the best, specific bonus in the game. Your Hussars will die (unless you use exclusively Scorps) but so will your enemy's units. Hussars are not going to be able to stand up against Paladins but they're way cheaper and you can put a glob of them in front of your siege weapons to hold enemy units in place while the Onagers take pot shots.

Speaking of those two units you generally want to use Hussars as a meatshield for them. They are actually more vulnerable to arrows than many other civs' Hussars because they miss the final armor upgrade.You want to handle enemy archers with your Siege Onagers or Mangudai, who are your prime units units, anyway. Light Cav bonus - This bonus means that Hussars take one more hit to die from melee units than other Hussars. Mangudai are amazing but this bonus doesn't really affect the game. Regular Cav Archers are way too expensive. Their bonuses are really good, but I just can't seem to use them effectively.Ĭav Archers bonus - There's no real way to use this effectively.
