Gurjaras

This civ is versatile, with strength across Cavalry and Ranged -- allowing flexible strategies that adapt to any opponent. Can answer enemy cavalry with mobile Heavy Camel Rider, allowing counter-raids and flexible responses. Vulnerable to massed archers -- consider aggressive play before ranged compositions develop. Solid siege options give flexibility in how to close out games.
