This civ is versatile, with strength across Ranged and Infantry -- allowing flexible strategies that adapt to any opponent. Limited counter options mean this civ must play aggressively and press its advantage before opponents can mass their army. Pushing behind trebuchets maximizes the ranged advantage -- set up trebs and let Arbalester protect them.
