Talk:Throwing Axeman (Age of Empires II)/@comment-26283073-20180928114517

I really, really, REALLY live Throwing Axemen. So much so that they bump up the Franks for me. I don't like Paladins, so when I go Franks I just go mass Throwing Axemen. It's shit, but I don't care.

I just kinda feel like right now they're a bit underpowered. Not to say that the Franks in general are a weak civ (although they're certainly not in their glory days of Age of Kings, considering Bloodlines and the buffs to Camels). But I almost never see Throwing Axemen when I see Franks played online, and in my opinion, you should always at least see someone make their unique unit at least once in a game. I think. I'm no pro. Knight rushes are fine.

Perhaps if they gave the Elite +1 attack, or made Bearded Axe give +1 attack? I think that extra attack could at least make them worth considering when playing Franks.
