As a big fan of Cav Archers it is sad to see their status at AoE. Civs like Japanese and Indians that has FU CA and Civs like Sarecans and Turks that has FU CA + bonus almost never goes CA. Even Mongols with their great bonus doesn´t make CA and preffers Knights or xbow on castle age and Mangudai on Imp. The frame delay and the upgrade costs are to blame here imho.
Frame Delay With the yuge frame delay they have, it is very difficult to micro with them. Look how DauT happy is outmicroing his opponent. Why not spread the joy of our lord and savior and make all CA able to micro.
Upgrade Costs To get a FU CA you have to pay bigly. Aside from blacksmith upgrades, Bloodlines, Husbandry, Parthian Tactics and Heavy CA costs in total 1400F and 850G. Compared to Arbalest upgrade costs(475F and 375G) you have to pay extra 925F and 425G. Compared to Hand Cannoner upgrade costs you have to pay extra 2300F, 1275G and 550W. Put yourselves in a Persians shoe, would you pay 2000F, 1075G and 550W and get HCA or just get the HC. The upgrade cost difference between its rivals (HC, HCA and Arbalest) makes HCA a less desirable option.
Make it Unique Wouldn´t it be great if we have another fun semi-unique unit like Eagles and Battle Elephants that is only available to some of the civs like Persians, Magyars and not available to civs like Brits, Vikings and Celts.
We are not winning anymore folks(actually we were never winning but anyways), sad.
