The small siege engine completly owns any kind of infantry, im talking 2 shots here. This includes axemen, hops, ulfs, spears, anything. They may as well not be there. They also nail slingers but archers are able to damage them quite a bit. Cav of course will kill them but not before losing at least a 3rd of their hp (hipps, RC). However they fire a line of bolts so at 1 target only 1 hits, so over a line they will damage multiple units. They also carve up TA like they arent there. However, even tho they are called siege, do next to nothing against buildings, infact all atlanta units are weak at destroying buildings. But it has HUGE range (20) which makes it useful in attacking the TC and towers.
The anti-cav thing you get at counter baracks follows standard rules of anti-cav. But will beat ulfs and spears easy and get owned by hops. I havent run any tests on the basic anti-cav you get at the rax, but on comparing the 2 the "smaller" ersion you get at the rax has pathetic pierce amour (like 10% or something, it gets cut up) but is 5 of each res (gold/food) cheaper and has 10 less hp but more attack than its counterpart.
The ani-archers on horses will kill any ranged units and get smashed by cav but put up a good fight against inf. Mass them if your opponent likes archers, but dont rely on them.
Thats all ive tested so far, ill try the heroic units and see how they do.
