Their Cavalry with Farimba is as potent as the Berbers in dealing more damage vs costing less. A FU Malian Cavalier has 19 attack, 18.75% more than any other civ's Cavalier. Although they lack the Hussar, their Light Cavalry has 14 attack, 27.27% more than any other civ. In addition, their FU Heavy Camels have 14 attack whereas the Indians Imperial Camel has 13.

Add to that their infantry's resistance to archers with FU militia line units having 8 pierce armor, their monks lacking only one tech and their access to both the Hand Cannoneer and Bombard Cannon and they are a powerful civ indeed. They are only made more powerful by their economy, which has all upgrades save Two-Man Saw, which, given their cheap buildings, isn't that big of an issue.
