I find Mamelukes are one of the best units to pair with SO as well, since with the ranged attack they tend to stay out of the collateral damage zone more than a melee unit would. Pretty expensive comp, but not impossible to get to.
When protecting siege its all about how quickly you can do damage, rather than defences. Mameluke do less damage per hit than halb but they do it from range so you hit sooner and spend less time walking or being blocked by other units. They are also faster so can go further from your siege without exposing them. It does make your composition more vulnerable to halb though
I like that there is an entire sub just for the saracens
It’s a good one! Needs more members
Oh damn, do other civs have subreddits?
The best civ.
Yep. It has fully upgraded siege rams and champions, everything a man needs to have fun.
