In terms of costs, Polish hussars also need a castle for getting the unique technology that gives them trample damage. This further adds to their costs.

Polish winged hussars also gets +1 attack against archers, which probably also made them not as bad, esp early game

Still waiting for the Pegasus Hussar, which can actually fly.

It's actually kinda interesting that they're coming up with civ-specific unit variations like this more and more. It makes me wonder if we'll see a civ with a unique Champion variation or an Arbalester variation.

1:14 No teutonic knight was hurt during the shooting of this video, through their heavy armor.

Will SOTL ever cover the marine biology aspect of AOE2? Like, fishes features in Japanese campaigns 🤣

"Poles seem to have it the worst" - SOTL, summarizing centuries of history.

The funny thing about the Magyar Huzsar unit. In the original HD version of AoE2, *they did not have wings.* Just look it up, their original sprite lacked wings whatsoever.

It was the devs of DE who decided to give it wings in this version.
Most likely, they weren't really sure on plans to add the Poles back then, so they probably added wings to the Magyar Huzsars just to make a sort of reference to the Polish Winged Hussar. As a form of "representation of the Polish" through the Magyars civ.
If so, plans obviously change and now we have the Poles added in with their own cool looking golden armored Winged Hussar. _Problem is, now people are so used to seeing Magyar Huzsars with wings that suddenly taking them off again for accuracy's sake is gonna cause a lot of backlash._
So, yeah! Quite the conondrum.

9:33 Yes!! This the most important difference
They're so beautiful, I agree wholeheartedly with SotL 😂

I haven't checked AoE for quite a long time, Holy fuck the remastered looks absolutely stunning!

[TBPetitP]

Spirit we all love your videos but I hope Im not the only one reeeeaaaally missing the intro song, it's so good I couldn't believe you wrote it yourself and had to learn to play it on my own guitar.

Fun facts: Winged hussars were heavy cavalry, not light cavalry

[dominikbarczykowski]

Polish team bonus for Magyar Huszar is super strong, love for Hungary!

[theaoeshow]

I dont care about the stats; the Winged Hussar is the cutest one

[sparepartssparepartsempori]

Pretty sure the anti gunpowder bonus, as well as the Magyars anti siege bonus are homages to the siege of Vienna.

[ozzy-bjov]

The extra attack against gunpowder might be a nod to the battle/siege of vienna, maybe

At 4:16 the snow looks like a heart <3

[jarkkovahamaa]

Long have I waited! Thank you for covering both my fav civs' coolest unit! (Magyars and Poles)

[Krisstoff]

I just want to know how the Bulgarain Hussars do compared to the others, that 33% faster attack seems pretty interesting 🤔

I was kind of hoping SOTL would also touch on the Poles team bonus of +1 attack for scouts vs archers. I'd like to know if its actually any good and how much of a difference it makes in Feudal, castle and imperial Age. If it's currently not really doing anything then hopefully it could be buffed to +2 like the Persian knight bonus
