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 advice4 TIPS

Military wing is so good against House of Lancaster because they get bonus HP with the Lords of Lancaster, and with boot camp you can combat that with your own bonus HP.

Demilancers against Camel Archers. You do eight damage. You already do less damage than a horseman. You're getting minus one and a half to like two depending on how the math works out with the Camel Archers. Then they also get three armor. There's no bonus damage. They run at the same movement speed. That would be sad.

Yeoman plus Hobelar is a strong counter to Camel Archers.

Camel Archers do exactly the job they were meant to do: clear out the initial mass of spearmen. They get so much bonus damage against them, and they attack faster than normal archers. With four Camel Archers, you're basically doing the job of ten archers, but more effectively because you attack much quicker and have more health. Yemen, in bulk, are able to take down Camel Archers quite quickly, but by the time the Camel Archer goes down, so many volleys have been pumped into them, meaning the volleys that could have been spent elsewhere kind of missed on the Camel Archers.
