Tarkan building-raiding route
Tarkan: Tarkans are cavalry with a strong focus on destroying buildings, making them more valuable as raiders and breach units than as a generic melee specialist. Their mobility lets them reach a vulnerable structure before defenders can assemble.
Overview
Tarkan: Tarkans are cavalry with a strong focus on destroying buildings, making them more valuable as raiders and breach units than as a generic melee specialist. Their mobility lets them reach a vulnerable structure before defenders can assemble.
Plan and execution
Scout for an open side of the base and send Tarkans toward a high-value production building or damaged wall. Keep them together, use other cavalry to screen defenders, and withdraw once the route closes rather than fighting a full army.
Risks and adaptation
Their building role does not make them superior in every army fight. Avoid sending Tarkans into a prepared melee counter or wasting the force on a fortified structure with no safe approach.
