 * Since they rely heavily on Infantry, Camels and Mamelukes, sending in Knights will be costly, so you should rely on infantry (particularly the Franks' unique unit, Throwing Axemen) and if you do not have enough stone, training some halberdiers will prove very useful against the enemy horsemen.

Nah, they also make scorpions which are very effective and annoying against a full infantry army. The best strategy is to base your attacking army in what your initial force was composed of, knights and throwing axemen. Upgrade your knights at least to cavaliers and blast furnace before attacking the moslems. Obviously, you should use your throwing axemen to fight off the camels and mamelukes and your heavy cavalry to get rid of anything else. An early attack with about 20 cavaliers and 14+ thowing axemen and Charles Martel  should be enough to get rid of yellow. Add in 3 or 4 monks and a few trebuchets to this force and green will fall easily too.
