Unit Vs Unit

Although All the Units Aren't Displayed Below, Each is the Highest Upgrade of It's Kind and Represents All Previously Obtainable Units.

Take Note of the Fact That the Below Recommendations Are Only Suitable For One on One Confrontations and Only Some Are Suitable For Group Vs Group.

Attacking Unit	Best Unit Against It	Reason
Priest	Chariot and Chariot Archer	Chariots Has High Resistance to Conversion and Double Attack Vs Priest. Chariot Archer Has High Resistance to Conversion and Triple Attack Vs Priest.
Axeman	Any Unit From Bronze Age Up	They are the Fourth Weakest Unit in the Game.  I'd Think That the Reason Would Be Fairly Obvious.
Legion	Centurion, War Elephant or Multiple Archers	Even Though Legion Are A Super Unit, They Are Still Pretty Weak.  Centurions and War Elephants Can Kill Them With Ease.
Centurion	Helepolis and War Elephant	These Two Units Are the Only Ones With Enough Attack to Go Through Their Armour.
Bowman	Everything Except Clubmen, Scout, War Elephant and Centurion	Ordinary Bowmen Are the Third Weakest Unit in the Game. They Are Only Good Against Units That They Can Outrun.
Composite Bowman	Helepolis and All Horse Units and Archers Except Scout and Ordinary Bowman	Only Horse Units Have the Speed to Catch These Before They Get Killed. Archers Are Good For Obvious Reasons.
Chariot Archer	Horse Archers, Helepolis and Cataphract	These Units Are the Only Ones Fast Enough and/or Strong Enough To Catch/Kill Them.
Heavy Horse Archer	Helepolis and Cataphract	These Units Are the Only Ones Fast Enough and/or Strong Enough To Catch/Kill Them.
Elephant Archer	Helepolis and Heavy Catapult	Basically, Siege Weapons Are the Only Units With A Great Enough Attack to Wear Down Their Hit Points.
Scout	Every Unit Except For Clubmen.	Scouts Are the Second Weakest Unit in the Game. If You Can't Figure This One Out, You Shouldn't Be Playing Age of Empires.
Chariot	Centurion	Centurions Absolutely Thrash Chariots. It Only Takes About Three Hits.
Cataphract	Centurion andWar Elephant	Basically, the Centurion and War Elephant Have Greater Hit Points Than the Cataphract and Also Greater Attack. Elephants Can Kill a Great Deal More Though, With Their Trample Damage. Six Elephants Can Take Out Up To 15 Cataphract With No Losses.
War Elephant	Priest	War Elephants Are Slow and Can Easily be Converted Before They Can Attack.
Heavy Catapult	War Elephant	War Elephants Are Strong Enough to Get Inside the Catapult's Minimum Range Without Getting Killed.
Helepolis	Heavy Catapult	Heavy Catapults Have A Greater Range Than Helepolis So They Are Able To Destroy Them Before They Can Fire.
