yes i did, and frequently there was only around 10 melee cavalry on either side, (including right where your video links too) until the close out fights either way, the fact is that camels are CHEAPER, they also Train Faster, and they are CHEAPER TO UPGRADE. all of which gives them SEVERAL ADVANTAGES OVER THE PALADIN, and yet you are only looking at the 1 ON 1 FIGHT.
yes let’s give the civilization with +3 PA Infantry that laugh at skirms, and +7 attack Light Cavalry that beat most hussars in the game, a better post imp, what could possibly go wrong? Malians have a far better post imperial age then you give them credit for. at most, i’d give berbers Parthian Tactics, which helps them with fighting Archers with their Camel Archers
yes because the Heavy Camel doesn’t already beat the Paladin as is, and is cheaper, trains faster, and is cheaper to upgrade as well. oh wait. the problem ISN’T THE HEAVY CAMEL AND THE PALADIN. the problem is you expect something from the Camel that it isn’t designed to be. this is a YOU PROBLEM.
and now that the heavy camel is more of a generalist unit, you have to increase their cost and training time too!
oh and now that paladins are worse, gotta reduce their upgrade cost as well!
