Magyars

The Magyars are a Central European civilization featured in the Age of Empires II HD: The Forgotten expansion. They are a cavalry civilization based on Medieval Hungary.

Description
''Lead the mighty Black Army over the Hungarian plains and command the fiercest cavalry forces that Europe has ever witnessed in the Middle Ages. The old continent has never been at peace during the Middle Ages, and the Magyars, being the gateway from the Western to the Eastern world surely had their share of epic battles.''

Overview
The Magyars are an offensive civilization with great rushing capability. They utilize lots of cheap units in their armies. Their economy is also good as they have all the economic upgrades except for the Stone Shaft Mining and Guilds technologies. Their villagers have the ability to one-shot all wild animals (Wolves, Jaguars, Bears, Crocodiles and Lions), which help out a lot in maps with an abundance of wild animals, and also aid in early-game villager exploration. They are a cavalry civilization and have all the cavalry upgrades, but as Europeans, they do not have access to Camels. Their unique unit is the Magyar Huszar, a cheap cavalry unit with an attack bonus against siege weapons. Their first unique technology, Mercenaries, makes the Magyar Huszar even cheaper by removing their gold cost. Their second unique technology is the Recurve Bow, which increases their Cavalry Archers' range and attack by one. Their siege weapons are also not as proficient as their neighbors, the Slavs, as they lack the Siege Ram, Siege Onager and Bombard Cannon.

Unique Unit: Magyar Huszar (Cheap cavalry unit w/ attack bonus against siege weapons)

Trivia

 * Historically, late Medieval Magyar Black Army, organized by King Matthias Corvinus, did include gunpowder units: namely, arquebusiers who stabilized their guns with pavise shields, & Bombard Cannons.
 * In-game, Magyars only have access to Cannon Galleons, not Hand Cannoneers nor Bombard Cannons, for balancing reasons.
