Horse Archers are ranged cavalry units that are featured in Age of Empires.

Strategy[]

The Horse Archer is a fast ranged cavalry that can be made during the Iron Age in the Archery Range.

The Horse Archer is fairly expensive, but they have a strong attack and a long range and are one of the best units of the Iron Age. Because of their high speed and good attack strength, these units are one of the top units in guerilla warfare. Although a horse archer has lower hit points than an Elephant Archer, experienced players often favor them over their elephant counterpart due to its ability to outrun most units in the game. The Horse Archer is able to upgrade to a more powerful Heavy Horse Archer.
