In the latest update Bengalis lost Parthian Tactics and their Rathas were given extra armor and bonus damage to spearmen to compensate, including having a little bit of that in Castle Age. Regardless this means that Rathas converted by other civilizations would be even better, especially if they have Parthian Tactics.
Yep, solid buff for this exploit! I may do a follow up on this video (the audio recording is a little rough anyway), because now you can get crazy stats like 8MA 10 PA on Tatar (Elite) Rathas
I didnt have any expectation on this video, but i learned aoe2 mechanic that i have not known since 1999. Maybe niche and not quite useful but very interesting and i may exploit the mechanic some other day. Thx a lot for the video.
As soon as I saw the title of the video I remembered a video from either Spirit of the Law or T-west, I don't remember which one, about villagers not keeping their bonuses after conversion and I predicted this would be the hidden ability.
Seems very interesting this kind of mechanical features. But i have a question: Is it possible to replicate the switching between ranged and melee mode among other units, whether on the Genie or the editor?
@@AdmiralWololo Ok. Next question is, what's the actual process for such thing, for example how to put the switch button, for example from a knight, to a cav. archer, without making a graphic reskin of the rath unit?
@@alejandroortiz3227 What you do is use the Modify Attribute Trigger to add 8 to the "Unit Trait" of both switch units, and set the "Trait Piece" of each of them to the unit ID of the other unit (unit IDs can be found in the Advanced Genie Editor)
Unfortunately the Georgian regen is implemented in a unit-specific way, only for scoutline, knightline, monaspas, cav archers (the unit), and genitours, so it doesn't apply to Rathas.

Bulgarian monks: "come join us, we will make you OP😎"
Aw yeah! Just watch out for those power-sucking Frank or Aztec monks
The Admiral sounds like he is underwater.
His transport ship must have collided with a demo.
Yes, the occasional saltwater submersion fortifies one's constitution.

Hey you nailed it! Most people would have no idea TBH
@@AdmiralWololo, the only reason was the video I mentioned.
If not for that I would have no idea either.
That's a really obscure mechanic.
That was a really interesting funfact please continue making this type of videos I love your style :) 1
Thank you! Glad you liked it
And now I know Saracens are the only civ to have FU Generic Rathas! With this knowledge, I shall inflict DOMINATION.
The world is not prepared for the terrors yet to be unleashed
Wouldn't this also apply to the Konnik?
Well the unmounted version at least
Good question, but no. (t seems similar but it's a different mechanic and the original research/bonus stats are preserved for the dismounted version.
Neat
Seems very interesting this kind of mechanical features. But i have a question:
Is it possible to replicate the switching between ranged and melee mode among other units, whether on the Genie or the editor?
Yep, you can do it with Modding or the Scenario Editor

@@AdmiralWololo It was beautiful. Thanks for the advice.
I'd recommend recording your audio through your phone if getting a new mic isnt an option. It's really hard to understand you
This was my last video before getting a new mic. Subsequent videos have better audio
No love for the Georgians? Regenerating Rathas that take less population space can be useful.
