Effect
Mameluke +25 Cavalry Armor

Camelry is a hidden technology in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors which is practically unique to the Saracens and is only available in the Post-Imperial Age. It adds +25 Cavalry armor to the Elite Mameluke.

Strategy

Camelry is normally only available in the Post-Imperial Age (typical in Death Match). A fully upgraded Halberdier does 43 damage to a fully upgraded Elite Mameluke, but with a Post-Imperial Age start, Camelry brings that down to 22 damage instead.

Trivia

• In A.G.E.3. (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 unit, 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.
