HAND CANNONEER (Bohemians) vs EVERY UNIQUE UNIT (Total Resources) | AoE II: Definitive Edition

The Hand Cannoneer is a gunpowder unit in Age of Empires II that can be trained at the Archery Range once the Imperial Age is reached and Chemistry is researched. It has a powerful attack, but low hit points and low accuracy at range.

In the total resources series, we consider 100 Food = 100 Wood = 100 Gold. In the equal resources series, we consider 100 Food = 100 Wood = 17 Gold.

If using bohemian HC, I'd compare them to castle age UUs

[GvF]

Good to know that flaming camels are a cost effective counter to hc

[Asterix]

+5 HP is stronger than it seems. Old HC die infantries in 3 hits but now it stand until 4 hits (which is 33% more resistance) except Viking Berserk and Aztec champion. Elite Janissary should get +4 hp (total 55 HP) as well and royal janissary skin.

[coxxen]

so they are just faster, right? (not counting the buff of this patch, which is for every civ that has access to it)

[loganvervicos]

This test shows the importance of the rams. Put all the defeated infantry in to come close to the HC and the results would highly change

[manishjape]

Indian elephants are like "no ... dont do that .. it tickles me!"
Deadly, ... not a single Indian elephants died where even tankier multiple Persian elephants were killed

[pioneerAv]

Hey Mike you need to update your Dawn of the Dukes section in the description, it still says upcoming dlc and unknown civs

[jeremyadam]

you should do like 6 or 4 hussite wagons + rest HC on equal ressources vs all unique

[JourneyLT]

Nerf Obuch. They shouldn't be winning this. Increase the price of them, they're cheaper than Militia, or if not that, lower their attack or HP a bit. In return, buff their armour debuff ability, it barely seems to have an effect much of the time.

[tlacaelelrojasluna]

Do this vs castle age units, to really watch how they will perform vs castle age units

[barbiquearea]

They seem to excel against slow moving heavy infantry but not do as well against any sort of cavalry, missile units or artillery.

[ardaarsen]

haha slingers beat cannoneers sure.. aoe 2 logic

[Felix_EN]

They are supposed to counter infantry yet they lose a lot of the battles vs them (granted with no micro but still)

I dunno why you dont make the comparisons including the Eagles, steppe lancers and the battle Elephants in either the generic or the unique unit

[eesaubaydullah]

What's special about bohemian hand cannoneers apart from being built in castle age again?

[ianaranda]

Mike you MUST teste the new turks Hand Cannoners whit 50HP

[hfreistify]

sry but they are ment to get covered by the warwagons...no one would play them like this
