The Horseman/ Cavalry Archer for Ottomans is either a Kapikulu Sipahi or an Akindji.

Is the cow a unit? Is it trained from a building like the Celtic Sacred Deer/Indian Sacred Cow or spawned from another unit like the Norse Raven?

That picture of the knight. Can you tell me who he’s fighting? That orange knight with the triangle shield.

Here is a wider picture. Is orange Rus? The knight is next to what looks like a warrior monk, but does not look like a Rus knight.

I guess i am just hoping there is a third civ that will be announced that has warrior monks like Rus because they are also part of the Orthodox Church (Byzantines).

Edit: It’s the Rus. I just checked. Was really hoping they snuck in a Byz reference.

As far as I know ottomans did not use crossbows. I have suggested several months ago, Turks should not have crossbows. Are there any sources claim that Ottomans used crossbows?

They did use them, just not to any great degree. And I’ll bet with Age 3 janissary, most players won’t be using them much either.
