There was that one challenge during the Knights release, that required you to train a ton of outlaws, so I did that with crabats, I was able to get their damage up to like 80 ranged attack, before promotions. Played a European civ, did the final mercenary and outlaw increase for the age 5 advancement. Also, promotions work on ANY kill, so if you’re quick and get a few on the map, if they kill treasure guardians, they will get their promotions ultra fast. I was able to get like 7 of them to tier 3 before fighting even started, just off treasure guardians.
Side note, I wish promotions would be given out to all civs. Like, at least 1 unit, like, Spanish Tercios, or the Russian streltsy. Just a thought.
yeah but the only 2 civs that have all of their cards being universal (cav combat, cav hp and cav attack) is brit and lakota (lakota now missing age 2 cav hp)
So brit get +30% stat on all cav (hand cav and range cav)
So wait, while the other civs had the universality of their cavalry cards removed, the British didn’t? I don’t think I’ve played as them since…March, whenever that event was where you could unlock Lizbet and Ada Lovelace. Now I wanna go check that out.
always been that way bro, only the brits and lakota had completely universal cards for both age 2 and age 3
Other civs always had niches like only listing hussars and goon, french age 2 card only affected hand cav, ger only affected uhlan and war wagons (also the rev stuff ) with only the team card being universal. spain age 2 cards only affected hand cav
heck spain before DE only had hand cav combat in age 3, it didnt even affect goon, they had to make it universal to boost spain

The Crabat is not cheaper than a dragoon (it’s only gold and it is collected slower than food + 4 pop, which requires an extra 20 wood except for the metropolis shipment, but you already lose a shipment).
A promoting unit must have worse stats (and it’s already been nerfed once). My proposal is to lower the range to 6 (so that the melee heavy infantry can reach them) and lower the range attack to 38-40.
