Strategic Analysis
The Eagle Warrior is the **Mesoamerican Knight alternative**. While they lose 1v1 to Knights, their speed advantage and anti-monk capability make them strategically superior in many situations.
- Raiding Excellence: At 1.15 speed with 3 pierce armor, you can raid under TC fire effectively. Kill villagers and escape before Knights arrive.
- Monk Counter: Eagles are THE monk counter. +8 bonus damage means you 3-shot Monks. Protect your army from conversions by having Eagles nearby.
- Siege Sniping: With +4 vs Siege, Eagles delete Mangonels and Scorpions quickly. Dive the enemy siege to protect your archers.
Warning: Avoid **Long Swordsmen** and **Champions** at all costs. They deal +8 bonus damage to you and you have 0 melee armor.
