The Farimba Garrison is a military landmark available to the Malians in Age of Empires IV in the Feudal Age.
Special ability[]
The Farimba Garrison can unlock or upgrade units, after which they can be trained at the Barracks and the Farimba Garrison. One unit can be unlocked in the Castle Age, and the second can be unlocked in the Imperial Age. The following options are available.
Enlist Mansa Musofadi: Upgrades all existing and future Musofadi Warriors into Mansa Musofadi Warriors. This increases their damage by +1, their hit points by 10 and grants +4/+5/+6 melee armor to the Regular/Veteran/Elite upgrade levels.- Enlist Mansa Javelineers: Upgrades all existing and future Javelin Throwers into Mansa Javelineers. This increases their speed by ~5% (up to 1.31) and grants them poison tipped javelins that inflict a poison effect of 3 damage over 6 seconds.
- Enlist Freeborn Warriors: Unlocks the production of Freeborn Warriors. These are a fast infantry with high ranged armor and a bonus against ranged units.
