I'm assuming that the +2 vs Cavalry Archers, introduced since The Conquerors was primarily done to balance against the pierce armor granted to Cavalry Archers through Parthian Tactics? That would give The Turks another issue for cheap countering. They need to break even with either using rams to absorb arrows, or use their Mangonel, that has only halve the hp and maximum range of their Bombard Cannon, but does the same 40 damage, but with triple the damage zone affected. Could give Turks a hard time late game. Perhaps more so than not having Pikemen.
