Hi I’m still new and wonder what is the strength of windriders exactly. They cost a lot and their dmg seem ok, their hp not so great. I feel like batriders are just better, cost less, deal fine amount of dmg to ground and can explode for air, destroy buildings fast. Do I miss something?
ww have poison, they are good for harassing or laming opponent workers, but they are not great units especially against other anti-air
bats are better anti-air, and bats have good siege against buildings, and bats can kamikaze into other air units causing splash damage, but they suck vs ground
Windriders are good for early game harassment, but because they are easy to kill, you need to transition your army to a different unit type for late game.
Between the two I recommend … Age of Empires II Definitive Edition.

I play it too lol pretty good game
Wind Riders are your general purpose flying unit. Bat riders are specialized anti-building and anti-small flyer (think Gargolyes, flying machines, wind riders and Hippogryphs)
