Imperial Camel Rider

The Imperial Camel, is the unique unit of the Indians in Age of Empires II: The Forgotten. It is a upgrade for the Heavy Camel only available to Indians.

Overview
They are some of the most versatile and powerful cavalry unit of the game as they have decent attack, high hitpoint, very fast speed, decent armor (their original armor is 0/0 but the Indians' civilization bonus gives them 0+1/0+1 armor from the very beginning) and are cheaper than Knights, also due to the Indian team bonus they also have +5 attack vs. building making them good against buildings. They can easily kill Paladins in one on one fight and can defeat War Elephant in groups. As the Indians lack any unit from the Knight line, Camels are a vital part of their armies for fast yet fairly resilient unit. They can be used a cannon folder for weaker units while being able to slaughter Archers and Cavalry. Imperial Camel is extremely effective against cavalry units, they even able to easily defeat a Paladin toe to toe, they can even handle War Elephant in group. But they are not so good against Cataphract who are for the most part immune to the bonus damage from Camels. It is a well-rounded unit and is able to handle almost any unit but while they can defeat even an Halberdeir it is not advisable to send them against a group of Pikemen. It benefits from upgrades such as Forging, Iron Casting, Blast Furnace, Scale Barding Armor, Chain Barding Armor, Plate Barding Armor for armor and attack, Husbandry increases speed and Bloodlines.
