Talk:Throwing Axeman (Age of Empires II)/@comment-91.6.17.70-20170419122213/@comment-27202541-20170420183718

I agree. If you're going for Paladins, which cost 75 gold, you probably won't want to be wasting 50 gold apiece on Hand Cannoneers, which don't even get Ring Armor Armor for the Franks, when you could instead mass Throwing Axemen which only cost 25 gold. Throwing Axemen also counter skirms and hussars, and survive single Onager shots.
