Cranequiniers: New Leaked Unit? (Mounted Crossbowman)

Leaked Unique Unit for AoE4??


Recently, with the triple Scandinavian DLC for the franchise:

  • AoE2: Vikings + Saxons
  • AoE3: Danish (Vikings) + Polanian-Lithuanians
  • AoE4: Vikings + Scots

It has been observed that, aside from the voices, a lot of work material is shared between the three installments.

Among these new units, one appeared that isn’t necessarily Scandinavian: the Cranequiners… or as they are better known, “Horse Crossbowmen.”


Cranequiniers

In AoE3: Cranequiniers:

Available since the DLC patch, but also for other civilizations, as a mercenary. It counts as an archaic, but mobile, ranged unit.

So far, so normal… until another installment comes along.


In AoE2: Cranequiniers:

According to a leaked AoE2 information, there will also be cranequiniers in AoE2.

So, the question remains:

  • Will there be cranequiniers in AoE4? Wow.

Yes, they’ll probably be called Mounted Crossbowman like in AoE 2 and that’s it…

It is not a leak, it is official information, they have confirmed that it is a regional unit called “Mounted Crossbowman”

That’s right, that unit is called Mounted Crossbowman…
