The reason why these guys are different from cavs, is that they take less bonus anti cav damage, and they have smaller collision size so their pathing is better. However they suffer more from area effect damage

There is no way the Wokou Pirate lands anywhere other than last with it currently being bugged. The base stance has 0 damage while the other two stances both get 10 which is half of what it should have

What is a ā€˜hand shock infantryā€™?

The equivalent of melee cavalry for civs that didnā€™t have horses. Basically ā€œlooks like a dude, functions like a horseā€.
