Talk:Chu Ko Nu (Age of Empires II)/@comment-27726014-20180806193654

Historically the Chu_Ku-Nu should be a weak trash unit. That is what they were historically. The repeating crossbow required almost no skill to use in contrast to a normal bow. In truth a skilled archer using a regular bow had a higher rate of fire in addition to higher accuracy, greater range and a lot more power. However the repeating cross bow was cheap to make and you can recruit thousands of farmers for a campaign and then just all arm them with it.
