Non elite elephant archer for burmese

Even if is true, Burmese ele archers would be utter trash, because they will lack Thumb Ring and 2 armor upgrades, in short, just a waste of resources.

Elephant archer has aready 100% accuracy even without thumbring. Thumb ring would only make them attack a bit faster. So their elephant archers wouldnt be as trash as their cavalry archers

The lack of 2 armor upgrades can be somehow mitigated by howdah even in castle age.

@PlumpDucklin

You do realise cavalry archers exist? And this is more of the issue with burmese. EA aren’t as good of a counter as FU skirms, but having them is better than not having them. They’re still a very good counter to archers.

I have a low elo match recorded online in which ai defeat a mangudai army with elephant archers in arabia. My oponent and I just decided to mass UU st the same time and their mangudai were wet paper against my elephants. Had he raided me, the resould would have been different, but he panicked and tried to stop my push

and 2 armor upgrades

@PlumpDucklin

the fact Burmese have both PT AND a UT, their EA will actually be MORE arrow resistant than any civ that lacks PT or the last archer armour

ok, maybe check their stats first

PT is in imperial age so it’s not really helping where the Burmese need it and the UT is behind a castle so it’s not much better.

Out of line, I suggest that Elephant archers have 0/3 armor in Standard and 1/3 armor in Elite forms.
