Overview
Imperial Camel Rider: Imperial Camel Riders combine speed and durability with an anti-mounted role, making them useful when enemy cavalry or mounted archers threaten the army. Their lower base armor and attack mean they benefit from fighting the right target.
Plan and execution
Keep a group near the ranged line or siege and move to intercept mounted units when they commit. Use their mobility to chase a retreating cavalry group or reinforce a threatened flank, while another unit handles infantry and buildings.
Risks and adaptation
They do not function as a universal heavy-cavalry replacement. Avoid sending them into a broad melee against infantry or under concentrated fire, where their weaker general attack and armor matter.
