Camel units

Camelry is one of the unit classes in Age of Empires II HD Edition. While similar in appearance to, sharing characteristics with, and often being summerized with Cavalry, the Camelry actualy is in its own armor class, which defines from which other units a unit takes additive bonus damage. Usually anti-Camelry damage is significantly lower than anti-Cavalry damage.

Some units also have more than one armor class, in which case they take bonus damage for both in case a unit has anti-damage against both.

Previously Camelry wasn't an armor class on its own, but Camels were instead classified as Ships.

Camelry units

 * Camel - Heavy Camel - Imperial Camel (Indians only).
 * Camels are upgraded by all technologies that affect Cavalry.
 * Mameluke - Elite Mameluk (Saracens only)
 * They are also in the Cavalry class, however they resist anti-cavalry damage to some extent. Mamalik are upgraded by all technologies that affect Cavalry.
 * Camel Archer - Elite Camel Archer (Berbers only)
 * They are also classified as Cavalry Archers, but not Cavalry, so for example they take bonus damage from Huskarls and other Camel Archers, but not the +32 anti-Cavalry damage from Halberdiers, only the +17 anti-Camelry. Camel Archers are upgraded by all technologies that affect Archers, as well as Bloodlines and Husbandry.
