AGE OF EMPIRES IV
CIVILISATION MATCHUPS
YOUR CIV
OPPONENT
Abbasid DynastyAbbasid 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
Berserking means Varangian Guards take a lot of damage, so don't walk in while Berserking is active.
Riddari are great in this matchup because they can throw axes at camel archers.
Cheirosiphons are a game changer: infrastructure is the one thing Abbasid cannot remass as quickly as villagers.
Get Cheirosiphons. If you had two Cheirosiphons behind your push, you could destroy the infrastructure as well, not just idle the economy.
