Malians

Malians

This civ is versatile, with strength across Cavalry and Ranged -- 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. Siege options are limited -- look to win through open-field engagements rather than pushing fortifications.
