If its true that the developers of Age of Empires 2 based the saracen's cavalry archer +3 or +4 buildings bonus and foot archers +1 building bonus from this👇information that you've given me,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_thermal_weapons#Techniques_of_use

then I believe that my point and suggestion, for giving the saracen's cavalry archer an attack boost of +3 or +4 attack against all things in general, is much more reasonable and justifiable then having their bonus apply to just buildings only.

I'm saying this because, ( base on the wiki information you pasted ) if those muslim armies used flaming arrows to do more damage, then the fire from their arrow shots should not only have been able to affect their enemies' buildings, but also affect by burning the ground troops that they fought against. Therefore, if buildings get the +3 or +4 extra damage from, at least, the saracen's cavalry archers, then the all other units ( including ships and siege ) should be able to feel that extra damage from the saracen's cavalry archers.

But that is only IF ITS TRUE THAT the developers did base the saracen's cavalry archer bonus on this information that you've given. I'm actually looking forward to know more about this unusual bonus of theirs from your searches. I feel like they, the saracens, would have to have some pretty sophisticated bows and arrows to do extra damage against buildings only and not against others.
