The Kehsik are Mongolian archer riders available for the Chinese in the Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties expansion.
Overview
Edit
Kehiks are a part of the Ming Army which is trained from the War Academy, and Mongolian Army from the Castle. The Keshik is a ranged cavalry unit, so it is very fast, outrunning hand cavalry and infantry units, and counters cannons and hand cavalry. The Keshik is by far the weakest ranged cavalry unit, but also the cheapest. They can be sent with the Beyiang Army home city shipment.
Make sure the Keshik stay away from Heavy Cavalry attacks, due to the lower hit points. Nevertheless, the Keshik is one of the hardest hitter of ranged cavalry thanks to faster fire rate compared to Dragoons, and they take only one poulation slot, while Dragoons and Cavalry Archers take two.
HistoryEdit
The Mongolians were professional archers and their horse archers were the strongest around, being able to outshoot crossbows and longbows. The Mongolians could hit a target in the head from several hundred yards away well riding at full speed giving the arrow extra velocity, or being able to retreat and fire. When Mongolia was first formed, they were actually at war with the Chinese (previously known as the Chin).
