Ethiopians

Ethiopians

This civ has strong ranged options for concentrated pushes, with Arbalester providing range advantage and sustained damage output. Anti-cavalry options are limited -- beware of knight-heavy opponents. Good skirmishers help shut down archer compositions. Pushing behind trebuchets maximizes the ranged advantage -- set up trebs and let Arbalester protect them.
