Carro Husita

The Hussite Wagon can be seen as a 'mobile tower', with its high pierce armor and ability to protect units from harm. To facilitate this, when selecting a mixed group of units that includes them and placing them in a formation, the Hussite Wagons will always be placed in front of other ranged units, but behind melee units. Because of this ability alone, this unit is designed to be an effective pairing for Bohemian ranged units, as it serves as protection from ranged attacks. The "Box" Unit formation is useful at sheltering units behind Hussite Wagons (one of if not the only legitimately useful case for the less used formation). While they have a similar-sounding name to the Korean War Wagon, they are not classified as or . Therefore, they do not take bonus damage from Halberdiers, Heavy Camel Riders, or Elite Skirmishers. Especially for more experienced players, the Hussite Wagon's ability can be difficult to utilize in a real game due to the intentional lack of micro it requires, as well as its sacrificial nature, given its relatively high cost. In addition, the Hussite Wagon will usually draw fire from the enemy units due to its position, so its ability can be unnecessary. In practice, it serves as an analogue for a Skirmisher or a ram, soaking up enemy fire, rather than as a dedicated damage-dealer in its own right. Overall, while it can be useful against ranged units, the Hussite Wagon is by no means a necessary part of the Bohemian late-game army. The Hussite Wagon can be sent into an enemy's base and harass their economy. With its high durability, it requires investment on behalf of the enemy to be taken care of, and the unit's attack issues are less noticeable against Villagers. Several wagons can completely shut down an enemy's economy for a short time. However, Villagers were given a +6 bonus against Hussite Wagons in the The Mountain Royals patch, making them go from 2 to 8 damage per attack against them. With the combined weakening of the Hussite Wagon's hit points and attack values, it is advisable to not stand against a defensive Villager rush. The economic disruption could be worthwhile if it can drag out for some time, but for an opponent making Villagers out of 4+ Town Centers, the damage could be mitigated quickly, meaning it is likely to be a net loss due to the high cost both to upgrade and field the Hussite Wagons. Pay attention to the wagons to get the most out of them.
