History[]

Camel Rider

In-game Camel Rider

The Camel Rider was a rider and camel dressed in light to medium armor. Due to the Camel's resilience to desert conditions unlike horses. They were not fully used as a military unit until 500-100 B.C.E. under the Egyptians and Persians. Camels that were not in battle would be used as logistical support. The Camel was good enough for the Romans to create a Camel Rider auxiliary force know as Dromedarii.

Tips[]

  • Camels can secure players map control in the early game with their high speed.
  • Because of their bonus against cavalry they make good anti-raiders as well.
