Actually I think it's the Sublime Porte. Comparing them by villager seconds they come off pretty poorly against Crossbows, Pavisers almost anything that isn't cavalry, although the 4.5 speed and 16 range and great fire animation does them plenty of work and means Muskets can't beat them conventionally but still Crossbows beat them comfortably. However I think the real issue here is Sublime Porte. That nasty wood cost becomes food instead (more or less) which means they are MUCH stronger. You simply flood them with sheer numbers, then your counters don't matter. This wasn't a thing before because Otto had no age 2 unit they could build (i.e not natives) with wood.

The issue is that they have range resist rather than melee resist like every other ‘Musket’ or anti cavalry unit. This means they match up better against things that are supposed to counter them and in age 2 many civs only have soft heavy infantry counters like crossbows. I should run a test of villager second cost of Azap vs. Crossbow and vs. Skirms. I mean at close range (not melee) Muskets actually beat Skirms per vill second cost but of course have 8 range less which is why they are still a counter. Best counter would probably be Grenadiers or a non cavalry melee unit that aren’t pikes. Really though the unit from my understanding is supposed to be a specialist unit against cavalry so it should probably get negatives vs. anything else. Edit: Upon running the numbers, Crossbows, Pavisers etc. do very well against azaps. Muskets do too if they can get close enough but that's hard and probably ill advised. Obviously the 4.5 speed and fire animation are a thing but you gotta remember, only 8 damage or 16 compared to other things. That's not that high. If you look at what Italy does this game, they invest a lot into economy and don't fight evenly whereas everything Otto invests go into Azaps. Conclusion: IMO Sublime Porte is the culprit here, either that or the wood cost on Azaps. Before (aside natives) Otto had no units they could use the wood for but now they can just overload the opponent with sheer value by gathering only food for everything and using sublime, getting effectively a better age up and all the rest of it. The result is a LOT of value pouring in which means cost efficiency and counters simply don't matter.
@jakubmalinowski14749 ай бұрын
Afaik heavy cav units like mamelukes or cuirassiers also could counter them populationwise since they have relatively low hitpoints and no meele resistances. Also sudanese dervishes from hausa/ethiopia could work well since their range attack is considered as meele damage in game.
@Peachrocks59 ай бұрын
@@jakubmalinowski1474 Doubt it. In melee they've got high multipliers vs. cavalry. Each one hits harder then 1 Mameluke does and that's in age 2. 1 Mameluke costs more then 5 azaps in villager seconds. Sudanese would definitely work. After running the numbers, Muskets and Crossbows comfortably beat Azaps in a straight fight. However there's more going on then that. Crossbows have a pretty crappy animation and of course Azaps have 16 range and 4.5 speed. On top of that, Ottomans early eco especially with Sublime Porte is extremely strong. So even if they lose per equal cost, that's not what's going on here.

@@Peachrocks5 oh i forgot mams cost 5 pop not 3. Oh well. But cuirasier could win due to area damage. But still, 8 damage and 1.5 attack rate is insane. They are like equal to russian musketeer with better range and higher speed. They should have been equally weaker than muskets and stronger than pikes and this was just showing not only they are stronger than pikes But than musks too.
@jakubmalinowski14749 ай бұрын
Also Worth mentioning is a fact azaps gain range for each promotion. In imperial they have 20 range which is basically 66% more than muskets have. I admit, their fully upgraded damage isnt as strong as musks (20x2 vs ~50 depending On country), but they do have 20% range resist and headstart of longer range and really quick initial animation.

@@email5919 few reasons: 1. Higher siege damage than musketeer. 2. More equalised resources cost than musketeer (and wood instead of coin). 10 resources per unit cheaper. 3. Higher range. Up to imperial can get if im not mistaken 20 range. 4. Considering they are faster than most of the heavy infantry units, they counter both heavy infantry and cavalry. 5. They are better against cavalry than musketeer in both meele and range attacks (range its 8x3x2=48 per 3 seconds comparing to regular musket having 23, meele its 10x4 vs 13x3). Dont forget they deal damage faster because they have longer range. Its not like im concluding that hypothesis after only this video. Ive seen plenty of ottomans strategies purely using azaps, have seen them wrecking italian fort spam at imperial. They literally losing more drastically after fighting with falconets and heavy Cannons which doesnt change the fact janisarries are all the way worse than azaps early on. The main difference is that you focus more on the wood income instead of coin which can be crucial on arid maps. Don't forget this unit is considered as a pike unit, not as heavy infantry.

The scary thing about azap is they are a xbox type unit which massacres Every type of cavs. Azap works so well with sipahi or mams its insane. Cause azap counters both cav archer & pikes. So, killing Sipahi become a very expensive task. Lastly, azaps are the skrim that can protect artillery from cavs. I literally once win a mach sending 21 azaps in age 4 with 3 Bombardier with mosque card. Anyway, Germany does great countering azaps with their pike and dops. Azaps are bad at melee Against infantry.
