Actually this unit is supposed to act as your "super archer" - providing ranged support while at the same time can take a lot of punishment from enemy ranged units. Imperial Camel, on the other hand, is there to fulfil the role of Knight. But because Camel has low pierce armor, you're encouraged to combine Camels with Elephants, which can only be done if you have strong economy first.
