I haven't tested this yet, but indians have better gold income. You can Castle rush to get one, your economy might be a little shitty by then.

But just as you get the relic, you're creating cheaper villagers, so you can boom the economy right at that time.

Also, camels are cheaper than knights so you can spam(maybe even harass the enemy with it) lots of those as soon as you get to castle age(I dunno, maybe create 2 or 3 stables, you'll probably created few trade carts on feudal and castle so your gold economy should be great)

About the halberdiers countering the camels/elephant archer in cost-efficiency, well, you also have more resources(goldwise)  to create them.
