Are Magyar Huszars Overpowered?

Their disturbing the game’s balance can’t be tolerated anymore, so I came up with a solution:

  • Decrease its HP by 5
  • Decrease its attack by 1
  • Increase its training time from 12 to 14 seconds

Seems like it. I honestly don’t understand why they even needed a buff in the first place. Where they underperforming? Was Magyars a bad civ pre-patch? Its a food only cavalry UU with bonus damage against siege and better stats than Hussar what else does it need? Hera just posted a video where he steamrolled a Britons player with Magyar Hussar and skirmishers and he barely even needed to spend gold.

Actually, training time was a problem as they can’t be created from stables. Otherwise, I agree, probably not needed. At the same time, this doesn’t make them overpowered because it’s still really hard to get to that perfect imperial age with Magyars. (Also I think they wanted to make them, as a unique unit that can only be trained from castles, better than the Polish Winged Hussars which are more powerful and can be trained from stables. This is just a hunch though.)

Lol no. Unit had no purpose or a clear advantage over their civ’s cheap stable hussar and was very niche before, maybe being prioritized one in four or five games for Magyars now. Its nowhere comparable to broken units like Conqs, Mangudai.

Both are countered by Magyar Cavalry Archers.

Magyar Huszars, Rathas, Hindustani/Italian Hand Cannoneers, etc. are the real problematic ones.

I think you’re once again talking from a post imp 36 min treaty game perspective. Anyways in such games Magyar Huszar are countered by halbs, heavy camels, mamelukes, kamayuks, genoese xbows and so on.

Rathas are countered by elite skirms as well.

Hindustani/Italian hand canoneers are units produced after doing chemistry and their expensive UT in imperial age.

A fast trash unit with 110 HP, +4 attack over the Hussar, faster attack speed, and an attack bonus against siege on top of that. :face_vomiting:

A generic Heavy Camel costing 60 gold, with 4 less attack than a trash cavalry unit, dying to arrows faster than a Magyar Huszar, and on top of that, being slower. :face_vomiting:

As I’ve already said, Magyar Hussars are just so hard to get into late game that they aren’t OP, granted the buff was somewhat unnecessary and wasn’t what Magyars needed.
