I disagree, about everything with you. it an elite mameluke needs 17 attacks to kill a cataphract instead af about 12. I think you don't attack War Elephants and siege rams at all, to wastefull as you can't effectively kill them in one shot.

They are excelent. You only need 7 of them to kill a champion in one shot and 9 will do for most paladins. They can attack before the enemy attacks and if they get to much damage they can retreat.

Being ranged has great advantages. If massed, ranged units can focus on a single target, taking them out one-by-one, which is favourable than just attacking without micromanaging, as non-ranged units do.

They don't have low HP once fully upgraded, as I consider 130 HP not to be low for a ranged unit.
