[busTedOaS]

to be fair, the Mangudai being unfairly good is kind of historically accurate

[AS.]

Honestly I was expecting to see the Hussite Wagon. Imagine missclicking and wasting resources on that; giving such an unfair advantage to your opponent...
Awesome list nonetheless ;)

[TheKobasen]

Remember when mangudai have 0 frame delay?

That was insane, even if you have bad micro.

They also have 60HP in castle age, combined with bloodlines you essentially have heavy cavalry archer in castle age.

[mikelivingood]

Mandugai and drill siege units, mandugai have always been S tier and their siege bonus damage puts them over the top.

[Miniature_Mike]

It’s the cobra car… what else could it be?

[smugshrug]

my guesses are the flaming camel and the petard. i've just got a feeling.

[Dawnrim]

The scenario was ‘when they’re on the field’ implying that the cost is not really a factor. So for the top civ combo, I’ll say coustillier followed by 190 pop Flemish Milita (last 10 pop is trebs)

[anaccountmusthaveaname]

I think Houfnice feels the most unfair. It's not as versatile on open maps as many on this list, but it's such a frustrating thing to deal with. You see the cannons shapeshift and you know you have lost the game. Especially if it's a closed map and you can't even raid.

[mubashirulmoula]

3:28 - Gurjaras. Can't pick the order. Both S.Rider and Chakram are OP as hell.

[ohtani]

Hera would you like to make a video to rank the most OP units in all historical official versions?

Some came to my mind:
1. Korean War Wagon in AOC 1.0, the range was insane
2. Burmese Arambai paired with mangonel crushed everything
3. Cumans Steppe Lancer was once broken
4. Malay Karambit Warrior was like roaches, costed just 10 golds, virtually a high attack trash unit
5. Mangudai with 0 frame delay, even more broken then today?

[shacolin]

I thought of Mangudai being up there, but once you mentioned two units of the same civ, I just didn't assumed speed alone was enough to get Siege Onagers that high up. I thought of Ethiopians Arbalest + Siege Onager but then concluded that Ethiopians arbalest's DPS couldn't outweight britons' range.

[porpoise]

So for a guess, there has to be Longbows and Mangudai in the top five, and with the "standard, classic" for number three and wirh Drill SO being clearly more unfair than Warwolf Trebs it has to be longbow, Drill SO, and then Mangudai.

[Endrit]

I started beating easily the extreme AI when I started using mangonels, thanks to your videos

[doomerquiet]

The kamayuk stays my underrated favorite “op” unit.
No one expects the kamy bois

[lightman]

I think the most unfair, if you can get to it, would be spanish cannon galleon. Not only the projectile is stupid fast, but it also reloads(shoots) faster, and has balistics.

Similar reason on why it isn't nerfed, is it takes very long to get to, and water maps are not very popular. I had few games where I could lock down entire area on black forest(out of all the maps) just because I had a small lake, with 3-5 cannon galleys

[Fregler]

Mangudai and Drill SO what else can it be?
Edit: Yup, the kind of units whose only counter is: don't let it happen and I feel Mongols are the only Civ that has two of those. I still remember the dark pre-nerf era...shivers.

[HiyokoSupiritto]

I still remember how they nerfed the mangudai in HD before, with deleting their bonus against siege, but this turns them into a slightly stronger cavalry archer

[DrRobGilles]

I’m legit shocked Hera didn’t say Aztec monks 😂

Also I think houfnice would have made the list over long boats. Partly because water maps aren’t that popular

Also kinda confused that poles didn’t make the list because of how hard they are to get there… but the top 2 picks are strong indeed but arguably the hardest to get to. Especially in combination. Only other unit that is probably harder to get to is probably war elephants

[Phoenix-ilhc]

I think only civ that can handle Mongol late game is Magyar. Their CA + UU combo are only thing that can match Mangudai + hussar + Siege.
I know some people might think of Berbers but in my experience they do fine till early imp or before Drill Siege comes into play so you need to end game before that.

[stardustreverie]

3:20 I was thinking about the Chakram Thrower and Shrivamsha Rider.
