Thats almost as good as a war elephant using Ortus's Axe.
It's just too bad if you dont get horses then, you'll suck :=)I think the real reason Hippus are so powerful is that they get Horses for free from their palace. Without immediate, unpillageable access to their primary strategic resource, they'd be a lot more manageable.
hippus absolutely shape the way I place my units when they are early neighbours.
if possible, I station a unit next to their realm so I get advance warning when they pull an american on me.
still ... very annoying bastards.
wtf is "pull an american"?
