Matchup advice4 TIPS

Yeomen cost extra compared to normal archers. Desert Raiders have very high attack speed in ranged form, allowing you to outmass and out-trade Yeomen.

Desert Raiders have five melee armor and are very strong at contesting the House of Lancaster's typical mass of Hobelars and Lords of Lancaster in Feudal.

When you're up against the House of Lancaster, you usually just need one or two answers to deal with that early pressure. You can use one camel to do all the work, especially with dervishes healing them up.

Desert Raiders with healing work well against Lords of Lancaster due to their 5 melee armor.
