Should have used non-elite Jannisaries against Bohemians since their major bonus is Hand Cannons in Castle age

Gunpowder Wars was brutal back in the Medieval Era.

The ones with swords, spears and axes were too. I think that every war method back in the day was wild.

Portuguese did way better than I expected. The extra accuracy was much more important than the Spanish faster firing rate

Big takeaways: extra range is huge (Hindustanis slaughtered their opposing janissaries) and discounts are very beneficial (Italians won by a sizable margin; Portuguese were an almost-even fight; Gurjaras didn't do so well but are missing an armor upgrade, resulting in them getting 2-shot). Burgundians extra attack (and lower armor), Spanish faster firing, and Turk extra hp are a bit better than generic, but not that much of an improvement. Bohemian, in this test, may as well be generic. Only comparison left would be "generic" missing ring archer armor (i.e. Georgians, who technically have a hill bonus that's irrelevant to these tests, and Franks) - I'd expect that this would be much worse than generic due to the way breakpoints work.

Also hindustanis had extra +1 pierce armour

Don't forget Hindustani has armor and piece armor +1

So why does Portuguese go with 23 units like a regular civ since they have a 20% discount in gold cost?

Quality content, do more with this format, thnx.

Nice video Keep up the good work

Only Hindustani and Italian capable to win

Could be done at least few times each, because there's quite a lot RNG going on with handcannoners in AoE2, at least compared to most other units. Though it would obviously take lots of work. :D

I try each scenario more than once and show the average result.

there was also a HC that got 100% accuracy, i think it was portugese due to arquebus upgrade

No, being able to hit moving targets is not the same as 100% accuracy

Portuguese can win with micro

I think hindustanis will do the best

agree

i don't think there was a consistent result because you didn't arrange the units properly

I expect you to explain how to properly position the units.

So, is the Janissary better than a Hand Cannoner? Yes and no. Janissary beats HC, but doesn't have the vs infantry bonus. Is essentially a HC that instead of being "really good vs infantry but bad against anything else" is "good against almost everything, especially mele units with high pierce armor".

The Elite Janissary gets half the hand cannoneer's attack bonus baked into its base attack

@@tomyrobinson3196 yes, but bonus damage ignores armor, so while HC does 11 bonus damage against infantry no matter how much pierce armor they have, Jenissary's attacks can still be greatly reduced.

​@@spookynya3066 you're already doing way more damage than what any unit can have as pierce armor, so the difference in damage type doesn't matter here.

Hindustanis HC is da big daddy 😂
