Talk:Throwing Axeman (Age of Empires II)/@comment-2405:204:5102:4D8D:8511:6892:B728:FECC-20180829142336

Suggestion : Maybe they should have Axemen deal armor attack of -1

what that means is - it will subtract an enemy unit's melee armor by -1 permanently with every hit

This is because the Axe head is a heavy object often able to cut through armor when it lands perfectly thus requiring 2 hands to throw. And also has impact damage - a perfect hit on the head can instantly kill like a heavy iron object would !
