Khitans

Khitans

This civ is versatile, with strength across Cavalry, Ranged and Infantry -- allowing flexible strategies that adapt to any opponent. Can answer enemy cavalry with mobile Heavy Camel Rider, allowing counter-raids and flexible responses. Good skirmishers help shut down archer compositions. An infantry ram push is the signature play -- use Elite Fire Lancer as a meatshield to protect rams pushing into enemy bases.
