AyyubidArchers from the macedonian have the ability in the feudal age to ignore two armor, so can actually trade out positively against the Camel Lancers.
The Desert Raider does take significantly longer to produce than a Horseman. Desert Raider is classified as a ranged unit, so Horsemen do have bonus damage against them.
The match-up is relatively hard for ayyubid. The Ridari is a solid cavalry unit, and you can make up for the camel unease by researching the Rampire upgrade, which gives +3 damage. With that, you can completely mitigate the camel unease bonus.
The Camel Lancers have a much longer charge duration and a shorter cooldown, which means there is no escape across an extended chase for any other cavalry unit.
Bogmaðr have a piercing ability that ignores two armor on targets, so Ghulam do take a bit of damage from them.
