This article makes no sense. It recommends only using Tarkans to "fulfill their main role, which is to destroy buildings."

If I'm looking to destroy buildings, I'm not training and teching into a whole new unit, I'm popping out a Mangonel, a Ram, or a Trebuchet and going to town.

Tarkans are better than Paladins and should be teched into and trained instead of Paladins in most 1v1 games, as they are significantly cheaper to tech into, take about 1/3rd the time to fully upgrade and train in less than half the time, meaning you'll be knocking on your opponent's door with Tarkans several minutes before you could have with Paladins.

On top of that, they do an excellent job of pairing your Cavalry Archers, dealing with ranged units that Cavalry Archers might struggle with, like Camel Archers, more efficiently than Paladins.

Their building damage is just a bonus, as it means if you win a fight or slip past the enemy army, you'll do much more damage with a raiding party of Tarkans than you would with Paladins.
