Matchup tips
5 TIPSShare a tip
Two Dervishes completely outheal the King's damage, so Dervishes are a strong counter to the English King.
These docks for the Ayyubids are cheaper, costing 75 wood instead of 150, so you can use that wood for additional fishing ships.
If you get three or four Longbowmen on the side of English, you usually have an answer to any amount of Desert Raiders that come your way.
The Desert Raider with five melee armor absolutely shreds men-at-arms in this matchup.
When Camel Lancers charge into bracing Spearmen, unlike Knights, they don't get stunned.
