The Brits got some cool new deck cards, a new warship, and a new skirmisher. Not to mention the Arrow Knight animation that the Longbowmen have got! #AOE3DE #British Rangers
The point of skirmishers is that you kite and run with them, unlike a longbow which have to stay still to start their firing animation. (Which takes longer) Putting them together with longbows standing still to fight isn't a fair test because you aren't using them correctly, it was giving the longbows a advantage. I appreciate the video though, just want to point out a possible mistake. ☺️
I have the general knowledge of how to use Skirmishers but I just wanted to state the fact that in static fights, archers beat or come close to beating skirmishers. If micro is involved, it all relays on how well you kite with your skirms because in this situation, the archers can't have the upper hand due to their lower movement speed.
I found rangers have better melee attack than pretty much all other rifle units, so would win in hand-to-hand fights. (they loose against longbows in melee though)
This video has some use but it could be made more useful if a relative comparison of cleaning up a musk unit type mass is done between rangers and skirms.
Had it in the first minutes of the video but that upgrade isn't that usefull because it will make your Rangers soo slow that you cannot even kite properly. Go to 0:57 and see the 218 hp and the 3.61 movement speed (down from 4.68). The extra 19 hp isn't really helpful imo
@@jesusshrek1271 agreed…but a nizam fusilier sort of be like a Mexican Solado in that regard. Overpowered musketeer but costs 2 pop. I think that’s work decently well
BIG video, Longbows will still be better for Skirmishers and dragoon compositions, but they will help out in their weakness on fighting heavy infantry, such as musketeers and melee infantry.
Hey man. Thanks for the comment. If you go in the Skirmish mode and set the age to Post-imperial, send the 3 cards that affect the Gunpowder Troops you will reach the same stats. But if you play the game as intended, starting with the Exploration Age, and going to the Imperial Age, you will get 40 range attack and 242hp. Weird
@@panzerrule9484 Most likely the Arsenal upgrades that are activated with Post-Imperial Age. I haven't tested it but there are upgrades for damage and HP so seems to me the most likely explanation.
One of their upgrades is Baker Rifles, which was a rifle used during the Napoleonic Wars. Also their imperial models have scopes on their rifles, which is odd as that was not the norm really for sharpshooters even during WW1.

Breaking News: In June's patch, devs buffed Rangers with +5% armor, and now the cards that are affecting Longbowmen affect Rangers too.
even yeomen does affect them?

except longbows can have 22 range and just fire from a million kilometers to kill rangers even easier
this was a fair test
@@SisuBjörk U dumb or something ? make a video yourself you ungrateful nonce.
The skirmishers were given an advantage, not the longbows.

I think you missed out the redline church upgrade and arent using the range advantage. Just like youre using the buffs for the Yumis.

im still asking for an otoman rework too be able to train nizam fusiliers from 3rd age
nizan most broken unit in game man
that would be cool af…but nizam is overpowered as hell so idk…could be feasible if each unit cost 2 pop.
@@stupidmilkshake4887 or make nizam fusiliers a weaker more balanced unit thats trainable from the barracks

were in the editor can you give units upgrades?
Use the triggers.
I was just wondering... How did you get Imperial Cassadors with 264 HP and 44 Ranged Damage??
The math doesn't seem to add up..

So they still lose to all skirmishers lol
