Burgundians

Burgundians

This civ is versatile, with strength across Cavalry, 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. Bombard Cannons provide long-range siege power for breaking through fortified positions.
