If those cavalry archers can fire while they move then it’s gonna make Mangudai a normal unit, Mongols defining feature was archery on horseback while riding. Hope the devs can clarify and the cavalry archer works something similar to AOE 2.

Nah they should fire while moving also. Just make them cheaper and weaker. Longbows work like normal archers also they are just better at it.

They can have more speed, but they shouldn’t fire while they move. This is a unique skill to Mongols. I think they will work like scouts when they attack. In Rus campaign Mongols are the enemies Rus got burned down multiple times IRL.

Firing while riding is not unique to the Mongols. There is a reason why it was called Parthian Tactics. Pretty much all rider nomad cultures had that skill. But I agree there should be a way to make Mangudai different from the Rus mounted archers. Not firing while moving could be a way to do it.

Well They can do it as you say but where did you get that shooting while moving is unique to Mongols?
And sure they did ravage Rus in what is in game age 2 or 3 but situation changed in Age 4.

What’s the point of this? Do you think they lost because Russian horse archers were stationary but Mongol one could move while shooting or something ? 
lol no I was just linking because you asked, it has nothing to do with parthian tactics
Oh I get it now I didn’t mean age of empires 2 and AoE 3 etc but age 1,2,3,4 inside AoE 4 development tree.
