Genitour
Berber team bonus unit. A mounted skirmisher that costs no gold, making it an excellent trash counter to archers. Available to all allies when teamed with Berbers.
Tactical Briefing
The Genitour is a mounted Skirmisher - the perfect trash archer killer. At 50 food 35 wood with zero gold cost, you can spam them endlessly in late game. Your +4 bonus against Archers plus high speed of 1.35 lets you chase down and eliminate Crossbowmen and Arbalesters. However, Knights and Halberdiers will destroy you - your 3 pierce armor doesn't help against melee. Use your speed to pick fights and run. Classes: Archer, Cavalry, Cavalry Archer.

Strategic Analysis
The Genitour is a **mobile trash archer counter**. When gold runs low, Genitours give you map control against archer-based armies while costing only food and wood.
- Trash Wars Mobility: In late game, Genitours dominate archer masses. Your 1.35 speed means you catch Arbalesters (0.96 speed) and kite Halberdiers forever.
- Raiding Potential: Unlike foot Skirmishers, you can raid. Run into the enemy base, snipe archers protecting woodlines, and escape before Knights arrive.
- Team Game Value: Berbers sharing Genitours with allies is huge. Your flanking teammate can make Genitours to counter the enemy pocket's archer support.
Warning: Your three armor classes mean you have many counters. **Knights** (anti-cavalry), **Camels** (anti-cavalry), and **Halberdiers** (anti-cavalry) all shred you. Avoid melee at all costs.
