Favorite Units?

[caravel]

and when i charge out my feudal knights when you attempt to peper me

AUM in held formaton will deploy forward to absorb the charge then switch back to engage at will once in melee. Muwahid and a Murabitin will hit the flanks and berber camels move to the rear to charge and clean up.

then charge my jinetes into your desert archers

As above, though you'll have difficulty as my desert archers tend to be under the watchful eye of my AUM and Muwahid units, who know only too well that they are, with the camels, their best hopes against the Jinetes.

with some javelinmen peppering your muwahids and militia serjeants smashing into your aum what do you do then?

Quickly deploy some Saharan Cavalry around onto the flanks of the MS and hold them there to trigger "worried about flanks" morale penalty, then move the Murabitin into position and hit the MS with a few javelin volleys to soften them up and drive the Saharan Cav home. Result: Morale disintegration and chain rout. The berbers whom should now be free will then volley and chase down the javelinmen.



Edit: -

Jinettes are insanely brave but a unit of lowly archers backed by spears will beat them every time. Much better in the hands of a human player though.

The AI is hopeless with Jinetes because it cannot turn off skirmish mode. Skirmish mode will always cause the unit to break off a split second before ready to throw javelins.
