-The Mangudai is only slightly superior to the less expensive Heavy Cavalry Archer, though has a few prime strengths, such as a stronger attack and attack bonus against siege units. They are effective against slow moving units, such as [[Monk (Age of Empires II)|Monks]], [[Villager (Age of Empires II)|Villagers]], or [[Infantry]]. They can also take down unsuspecting [[Archers|archers]]. With bonus damage dealt to enemy siege units, Mangudai can also be used to counter rams effectively behind fortifications. However, despite their attack bonus on the units, attacking [[Scorpion]]s and [[Mangonel]]s one on one is not recommended unless there are enough Mangudai to destroy the machine in one volley and they can be micromanaged to dodge the projectiles. [[Camel]]s and [[Spearman (Age of Empires II)|Spearmen]] are also a threat, although the latter can usually be avoided with ease. Also, they are known for their ability to change targets and fire more swiftly than Cavalry Archers, and this combined with their costing less gold makes them often the more effective choice for the [[Mongols]].

 The best way to counter them would be to use heavy infantry with high damage multiplers against cavalry, especially the Pikeman with a 5x multiplier against cavalry. The [[Doppelsoldner]] is also an effective choice. [[Musketeer]]s can be somewhat effective if placed in groups but cuirassiers will defeat them if they get in too close. [[Halberdier (Age of Empires III)|Halberdier]] only have a 2x cavalry multiplier but their high damage counteracts this, allowing them to have higher damage against cavalry. This coupled with the availability of guard and imperial upgrades, allows them to be highly effective against cavalry. The Curiasser used in conjunction with Skirmishers is an effective strategy. Ranged cavalry units are also effective against them.
-Spanish [[Heavy Cannon]]s being bolstered by unction are also an effective counter as three cannons acquired by means of [[The General]] and two Heavy Cannons card focus firing (or overlapping the edges of their AoE to better spread it over a large area) can drop clusters of Cuirassiers every six seconds (the time it takes for the cannons to fire again) when protected by blocks of Spanish P[[Pikeman (Age of Empires III)|ikemen]] or [[Musketeer]]s (similarly being augmented by the unction aura). [[Highlander]]s are a more costly option, but due to their 40% melee resistance, they ignore almost half of a cuirassiers damage making them an expensive but effective meat shield. A pair of Spanish [[Monitor]]s augmented by unction can drop their long-range shots on an army of Cuirassiers and kill them outright every time the ability cools down (1488 damage). With the Admirality card from the Home City a third ship can be made to wipe out large Skirmisher armies in a single long-range barrage.

 ''In the 15th century the Hungarians deployed a corps of light cavalry soldiers that came to be known as Hussars. They were excellent horsemen, trained to ride from their youth on the grasslands of the Hungarian plain. They wore brightly colored uniforms that gave them added dash and distinction. On the march they scouted and raided as needed. In an emergency they could charge in battle, but were usually too lightly armed and armored to engage heavy cavalry or infantry. They were especially useful after an enemy routed and had become disorganized because the fast Hussar could easily run over and cut down the undisciplined troops. The bright uniforms and dashing demeanor were very attractive to other nations and Hussars were prominent in later armies, especially during the Napoleonic era. A British Hussar unit was deployed in the Korean War, although it was fighting in tanks by that time.''
