Mameluke
The Saracen unique unit. A camel-mounted warrior that throws scimitars at range. Devastating anti-cavalry unit with incredible mobility.
Tactical Briefing
You're a ranged cavalry killer on a camel. With 3 range and +8 bonus vs cavalry, you shred Knights and Hussars while staying mobile at 1.4 speed. Your Mameluke has only 80 HP and 0/0 armor - you're fragile despite your cost. Kite enemies constantly and never take melee fights. Archers are your biggest threat - your 0 pierce armor means Arbalesters tear you apart.

Strategic Analysis
The Mameluke is the **ultimate anti-cavalry ranged unit**. Combining camel bonuses with ranged attack and high mobility creates a devastating cavalry counter.
- Ranged Anti-Cav: 3 range + 8 bonus vs cavalry = you kill Knights without them touching you. Micro constantly.
- Cavalry Archer Killer: +9 bonus vs cavalry archers. Heavy Cavalry Archers die fast to massed Mamelukes.
- Hit and Run: 1.4 speed is very fast. Hit, retreat, repeat. Never let enemies close the gap.
Warning: **Zero armor makes you fragile**. Archers, Skirmishers, and even Militia can hurt you badly. Bring Hussars to tank.
