Re: Abyssinian Guards

The biggest problem with this unit is that their upkeep cost is outrageous. I don't remember how much it is, probably because it's too painful to remember.

The only time I ever get Abyssinian Guards is when I declare Jihad. I disband all of them as soon as the Jihad is over, before I have to pay the upkeep costs. I don't even keep good governor candidates. It's strictly a matter of price.

Re: Camels

They tend to produce a lot of good generals. Four and five stars come pretty regularly.

Egyptians get them at a discount, too.
