About the Magyars

The Magyars are an economical cavalry and scout civilization with strong Feudal Age scouting and hunting bonuses. Hunting is free (no tech costs), providing a significant early food advantage. Their unique unit, the Magyar Huszar, costs only 80 food and 10 gold — one of the cheapest cavalry units in the game. Unique tech Mercenaries reduces Magyar Huszar gold cost to zero. Corvinian Army gives Magyar Huszar a +2 attack bonus against Pikeman-line units — unusual for cavalry. Blacksmith Cavalry upgrades are free. Their scouts have +2 Line of Sight from the Dark Age. Magyars excel in open maps where early hunting and aggressive Scout rush strategies can establish economic dominance heading into Castle Age.
