Why do urumis deal ranged damage if they use swords?

Well they prolly did that way to make an exotic unit,many people think they're op and I admit i once faced a guy who spammed them in late game(usig cow for xp) who was hard to beat.

They're basically melee skirms,difference is that while skirms have to avoid melee fights urumi are designed for that.

Anyway if they melee cannons they do a very low damage against them.

Some of the best units:

Cuirassier

Doppelsoldner

Mansabdar Howdah

Shogun Tokugawa

Musketeer (esp. as Imperial Redcoat)

Longbowman

I gotta admit I LOVE doppelsoldners. German has to be the best end game civilization ever.  Using all cards and the arsenal and church upgrade. They really do own.

 

Samurais are close but I still love the doppels. I must say though that teh samurais are annoying with their speed..........  My howdah had like 6 speed and the darn samurai had something  like 5.90!!!!!!! 0.0 I almost thought I'd lose. Seriously I almost did. Howdahs were my only hope against his  flame arrow and his samurais.  Not exactly easy to hit and run something that moves almost as fast as u. I however beat em  by making lil bombards from the monastery and shipping in french cuirs and making howdahs. I must say samurai are probably more efficient against ranged units however......

 

Doppels are better against calv and buildings. I could've sworn a while back I had them at like 800 or 900 hp with a hand atk of 89 or something. Then again it might've been patched so I dunno. I'm have to try them both out and see which is better. As for now I say doppels still win.

another ignorant kid, this been discussed many times.  800 and 900hp and 89 attack power? lol!!  you must never bother to look at the stats bar.

dopp has insignificant attack power, low damage resistance. and almost trun worthless after saolingen steel upgrade.  in comparison, samurai is a far superior unit. and no, dopp aren't better at anti caverly, do the math yourself. dopp peak attack power against Calvary is is 56 x3. and a samurai is 84 x 2(89x2 before the patch) plus most ppl chose not to go with saolingen upgrade. Even they do, there's noway a dopp can win a smaurai in hand to hand combat. 

 dopp might be your personal favoriate, dopp is weakest among all melee anti clavery/infrantry class(except pikemen and the likes)  a samruai surely own them, a urumi owns them easy, a skull knight own them, a hatamoto owns them with 2 hands tied in their back, and even a 1 pop jag owns them at equal ratio.
