Elite Eagle Warriors actually only deal +2 damage to Mamelukes, because the +4 anti-cavalry bonus is completely negated by the +11 cavalry armor of the Mamaluke. However, eagles still deal +2 to Camels, and Mamelukes are in the Camel armor class, so they take +2 damage from eagles.

Mamelukes still wreck eagles en masse, but eagles are way easier to start massing up and flooding into your opponent's base, so the Saracens player will need something like Champions or Hand Cannoneers to fight the eagles at first.

Berserks with Chieftains also deal only +2 to Mamelukes, for the same reason as with eagles.
