Title. Winrate at pro level was most lopsided for this matchup.
Nerf Royal Knight and give French something else, this civ is addicted to Knights.

Stop making knights and you will be fine
lol theres a civ theme around every unit. There had to be one for knights. People dont like it but there’s also people who dont like the sushi rush, buggatis and longbowman.
The t2 trade landmark for french is poorly designed. Whats the point of diverse civs if, like in french’s case, there is only one viable landmark?
Some civs counter cav hard so if you see camel dont make knights.

You can go with crosbowmen and spearmen/man at arms + later gunpowder
The French have like a 51% win rate right now
every civ have bad matchups and french is highest winrate in all team games mode
Is it possible, that this win statistics Ayyubids vs. French is about player skills and not about civilisation design?

Pro level stats don’t have a large enough sample size to be used as an accurate measurement of balance.
Measuring from plat and above mongols outperform ayyubids against them, likely because of a common tower rush strat in dark age to starve French of gold. It’s something that targets French reliance on gold, and many players are not prepared to counter it effectively.
Asymmetrical gameplay requires strengths and weaknesses between factions. This will lead to some level of imbalance between civs, as some will have strengths that lean into others weaknesses. For French, nothing is beyond a 58%/44% win rate against them. (At >= plat 1)
They have one of the more balanced civ matchup win/loss rate.
