Hos: The bonus health and movement speed on is super helpful against early aggression on a greedy opener like this.
Age 2 are decently tanky in Age 2 and, with good micro, you can save units from dying during the early game.

Ranged units won't have enough damage at this point in the game to kill Age 2 through their healing, so they can tank damage for free and let you scale your economy and military production.
