Malay

Malay

This civ is versatile, with strength across Cavalry and Ranged -- allowing flexible strategies that adapt to any opponent. Anti-cavalry options are limited -- beware of knight-heavy opponents. Good skirmishers help shut down archer compositions. Solid siege options give flexibility in how to close out games.
