Imperial Camel Rider
Hindustanis unique Imperial Age upgrade. The Imperial Camel is the strongest camel unit in the game, with exceptional HP and attack for dominating cavalry matchups.
Tactical Briefing
The Imperial Camel Rider is the pinnacle of camel units, exclusive to Hindustanis. With 140 HP, 8 Attack, and the same devastating cavalry bonuses as Heavy Camels, Imperial Camels dominate any cavalry engagement. They are cost-effective enough to mass produce and powerful enough to front-line. Still weak to archers and infantry. Classes: Camel.

Strategic Analysis
The Imperial Camel Rider is Hindustanis' answer to the Paladin. While most civilizations must use Heavy Camels, Hindustanis get an **upgraded super-camel** that can go toe-to-toe with any cavalry in the game.
- Paladin Destroyer: Your 140 HP and 8 attack make you comparable to a Cavalier in raw stats, but with +18 bonus vs Cavalry. You absolutely crush Paladins in equal numbers.
- Mass Production: At 55F/60G with 20s train time, you can mass Imperial Camels faster than enemies can mass Paladins. Overwhelm with numbers and cost efficiency.
- Front-Line Capable: Unlike other Camels, your 140 HP lets you tank some damage. You can lead charges and absorb hits while your archers clean up.
Warning: You still have **0 armor** and the Camel class. **Halberdiers** and **Arbalesters** remain deadly threats. The upgrade costs 1200F/600G - make sure it's worth it before committing.
