Armenians

Armenians

This civ is versatile, with strength across Ranged and Infantry -- allowing flexible strategies that adapt to any opponent. Strong anti-cavalry defense with Halberdier to hold positions against cavalry pushes. Vulnerable to massed archers -- consider aggressive play before ranged compositions develop. Siege options are limited -- look to win through open-field engagements rather than pushing fortifications.
