Can confirm. Camels + camel archer all the way beat the map in 1 hour 27 minutes on the game clock (real time: less than an hour), with trebs and capped ram to one shot buildings, the occassional monk, and forward castle drops. It is easy to mass Camel Archers with the Berber castle speed tech auto-researched and all that stone on the map.

I didn't even allow the AI to remove my initial camp, even though it's useless, just to keep those extra houses up. And I did put a dock and 6 fishing ships to turbocharge my boom, but the fish run out on my side so quickly, it wasn't even worth building a single galley to counter the 8-dock Bordeaux. I dealt with his navy by trebbing all the docks down and then camel archers versus boats.

You never need hussars because momentum is snowballing; your gold doesn't run out as long as you expand quickly to secondary gold piles and avoid unnecessary troop loss. With regenerating camels, and monks, they really shouldn't die. Cavaliers / knights do not regenerate HP. Throwing Axemen have shit range versus Camel Archers.
