This article is about the technology in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors. For the unit in Age of Mythology, see Camel Rider (Age of Mythology). |
Camelry was a hidden technology in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors which was unique to the Saracens and was only available in the Post-Imperial Age. It gave Elite Mamelukes +25 Cavalry armor. Due to being undocumented, it was likely not intended to be in the game, and was removed in The Forgotten.
Strategy[]
Camelry was only available in the Post-Imperial Age (typical in Death Match). A Halberdier had 32 anti-cavalry attack and regular Mamelukes had 11 cavalry armor, which means they suffered from 21 anti-cavalry attack. With Camelry, their cavalry armor increased to 36, hence completely negating the anti-cavalry attack. The Halberdier still had its anti-ship attack and melee attack to deal damage though, as Mamelukes had the ship armor class. In conclusion, a fully upgraded Halberdier did 43 damage to a regular fully upgraded Elite Mameluke, but in a Post-Imperial Age start, Camelry brought that down to 22 damage instead.

Trivia[]
- In the Advanced Genie Editor, Camelry is listed under the effects tab as effect 499 in Age of Empires II: HD Edition.
- Camelry adds 25 Cavalry armor to the Heavy Camel, but the unit lacks that armor class to begin with.
- Some civilizations starting in the Post-Imperial Age will research Camelry, but the effect only applies to Mamelukes, so it is in practice unique to the Saracens.
