Change Back The Magyar Huszars, No Wings Magyar Huszars

The Issue

The Developers of Age Of Empires 2 Definitive edition made a stupid decision on adding unnecesery wings on the Magyar Huszars elite unit, betraying the previous design from their game Age Of Empires 2 HD: The Forgotten. Not does it only betrays the previous design but it also betrays the history of that unit. Ask any hungarian if the hungarian hussars (Magyar Huszár) had wings and they will tell you no, because they didn't. There are 0 historical evidence behind the magyar huszars using wings, every depiction, every text will tell you that polish people had winged hussars not the hungarians. To add top on all of that, the only civilization Lithuania, that could have had the winged hussars, yet they got their own unique unit that has nothing to do with it. Meanwhile hungary has nothing to do with winged hussars, yet they are the ones having them in game. By signing this petition, you try to make the developers restore, the historically accurate, original design from The Forgotten, and dumping the stupid wings into the trash. Together we can make a change.

"Winged Hussars were used as elite Polish-Lithuanian shock troops for over two centuries. The Winged Hussars fought many battles against various enemies, most of which they won."

"To differ from Hungarian hussars, Polish-Lithuanian hussars came with their own style and their armor was entirely different."

Some artwork about actual hungarian hussars:

"The hussar cavalryman had two feathered attachments to the back of his armor. This decorative effect came to Poland from the East. Turkish crack light cavalry painted their shields with wings, as did those from Hungary. Taken one step further, the Polish hussars' real feathers served a practical purpose; when thousands of cavalry galloped into battle, the rushing wind caused the feathers to create a great whistling moan which would frighten and confuse the enemy's troops and horses."


The only wings hungarians had were on their shields and they are not doing either poland or hungary a favour, for trying to make hungary little poland in their game, so historically illiterate people have something to recognize. Thanks for taking your time and supporting this cause.
