I think this tech costs like 250 wood and 300 food

As a dedicated lifelong traditional archer and bowhunter, and someone spent most of his life on a ranch..pretty much growing up in a saddle..it cannot be overstated how impressive the mounted archers of the past really were. It was quite a humbling experience trying to shoot an arrow at a target about 20 feet or so away, while riding past on horseback at a very slow and leisurely trot.

A few centuries of people shooting this way, many wars raged between different cultures across half the globe, and there are going to be comments on how this is not the right way to shoot

Brooo thumb ring from age of empires 2 makes so much more sense now

Thumb Ring is a technology in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors available at the Archery Range upon reaching the Castle Age. Once researched, all archers (both foot and mounted) are able to fire faster and with 100% accuracy at non-moving targets. It does not affect gunpowder units.

The Mongolians were on a whole different level.

Interestingly, Kyudo (Japanese archery) also lays the arrow on the same side of the bow and on their right hand archers wear a leather glove with a notch in the thumb

this is the Turkish style that is tens of thousands of years old...He broke 10 separate records in various provinces of the Ottoman Empire, and these records could not be exceeded. Tozkoparan İskender broke his longest record with 1281.5 trips at, which is thrown with the sunrise air. This distance of 846 (or 848) meters is a world record.

Mediterranean didn't nock on the left side of the bow either though, that's a modern invention. Look at medieval art depicting archers and it clearly shows nocking on the right side

[pabloandres]

So thats why cavarly archers get more acurracy after getting thumb ring in aoe2

I remember this episode, enjoyed it very much

[bidenonabender]

i honestly belive medival archers also used to put the arrow on the thumb side of the bow unlike depicted in modern movies, but putting it on the knuckle side seems counter intuitive because your arrow has to go over or past the bow befor resting in place which seems like it takes far more time than it would doing it thumb side.

i taught archery to my self and now i do it this way after doing it "wrong" for like 3 years, i became so much faster in consecutive shots!

Thumb release appeared not because of how he explains. It is because of the short asiatic bows with the long draw. Shooting such bows Mediterranean three-finger draw is from uncomfortable to impossible (the same way as with compound bows which are also short but with the long draw). The logical solution is to use one finger. Which finger is the strongest? Right - the thumb. Because of the archers paradox and first arrow bend direction arow must be not on the left side of the bow but on the right. Othervice the arrow bounces away from the bow (watch slo-mo of archers paradox). Release aid serves the same purpose in compound bows and for the same cause.
But later the thumb release as a know-how migrated as well to the othe areas of Asia where there were materials for the longer and veeery long bows (like in Japan) and was kept because "it was always this way and it must stay this way".

Thank you again

Historically, archery has been done with the arrow on the right side of the bow, it's only recently with stationary archery that we see the arrow being used on the left side. These releases aren't much different in a historical context, or at least not with the reasoning he gave.

A couple of years ago, my neighbor bought me one of those bow from Hungary. Beautiful and well constructed. I also have a quiver and a saddle holster for the bow.

The classic Parthian shot: Releasing an arrow while facing back from the direction that your mount is going.
