CIVILISATION MATCHUPS
YOUR CIV
OPPONENT
Abbasid DynastyAbbasid Dynasty
Abbasid generate economic advantage by advancing ages without villager cost and stacking Golden Age bonuses as buildings accumulate near the House of Wisdom, selecting from any-order Wings to customize their tech, then convert that advantage into steady offensive pressure through early siege access and camel cavalry.
Matchup advice6 TIPS

There comes a point where your villager kills just don't matter. You are playing against Abbasid with the cheapest of cheap villagers.

Going relics is the greedier option, but against Abbasid on eco wing that would be a brave choice indeed.

Kipchaks probably struggle quite a bit. Camel Archer and Camel Rider deal very well with Kipchaks.

Abbasid definitely has the timing to go economic wing because Golden Horde is slow off the block; they can get the Batu Khan and two Torguuds, but they do even less damage than Keshiks initially, never mind something like a French knight.

Camel Riders are a crucial detail; if you keep one alive, all of the Torguuds' damage will be debuffed.
