== Strategy ==
The Horse Archer is highly superior to the unit it replaces: first, it doesn't require to produce; second, it doesn't have the rough terrain penalty that its counterpart does, making it a more versatile and powerful early archer unit; and third, it already starts with a promotion that makes it more powerful in open terrain. Furthermore, since this promotion isn't a "special" promotion, you can build off it and train to the extremely powerful higher-tier promotions simply by killing Barbarians!
This combination makes the Horse Archer a very dangerous unit, which is available very early in the game. It is best used for swift hit-and-run attacks, whittling down the enemy, and preparing cities for capture by your Warriors and Battering Rams.
