Indians (Age of Empires II)/Strategy

The basic Strategy of the Indians focuses in the economy, and in a powerfull cavalry and gunpowder units

Strenghts
Indians are very good at booming, their villager cost bonus helps them to boost their economy very quickly in early game and save a lot of food that can be use for ageing, their unique technology "sultans" also boosts considerably their economy in mid and late game so don't forget to take some relics or commerce if you have allies, In maps with water ( like archipielago or islands or lakes) you can boost your economy with the shorefishes and your villagers instead of making fishing ships in early game.

Their camelry is very powerfull even better than the saracens camelry in many aspects, their unique unit Imperial camel is very well armored because the Indian armor bonus and with their team bonus of having +5 attack vs buildings makes them usefull for raids or for frontal battles fullfilling the tasks of the Paladin in someways, also their team bonus can be very usefull for allies that have camels ( specially the saracens). They also have the Elephant archer who is usefull for tanking. Shatagni Unique technology improves the range of Hand Cannoneer so they can overtake infantry for even more distance.

Weaknesses
Despite they are a cavalry civilization they don't have any of the knights units line, they compensate their lack of knights with their camels. Their siege workshop units doesn't have all their upgrades so the indians rely basically in the bombard Cannon.
