Babur should be a Crossbowman

In my opinion Hero unit “Young Babur”/“Babur” should be a Crossbowman/Mounted Crossbowman/Cavalry Archer/Unique Skin instead of being an “Heavy Camel Rider”/“Imperial Camel Rider”. Hindustanis were not desert people, they were either in Central Asia or North India. Sure they employed a lot of Rajput warriors in their army which is well represented by their access to camels. But the heroes themselves, I wouldn’t expect to be riding camels unless we are stereotyping all Muslims as Camel Riders.






Ideally Hindustanis should have a Cavalry Archer/Crossbowman related bonus to represent their tactics which they successfully employed not just to conquer the subcontinent but also to beat back the mighty Mongols six-seven times. But yeah gameplay takes priority over history so I wouldn’t press so much on changing this if it is not possible to balance it out. So I leave it on you guys for discussion.

This is the most likely reason.

Prithiviraj is still a foot xbow when he upgrades to his cavalry form he is a ca.

It’s strange that they missed that, although in their defense you have Babur’s mother acting as an archer…

Babur was added as a hero camel long ago so I guess they just didnt want to change that

Although he was there in scenario editor since TAK, he remained an unused hero until he received his own campaign in DOI. Along with it a new hero called “Young Babur” was added as well.

Yeah but I feel like they didnt want to change it

Like how Tamerlane is still a Mangudai despite having other skin options that could have worked better
