Overview

Cavalry and defensive civ: mounted units regenerate 2/8/14 HP per minute in Feudal/Castle/Imperial Age. Units and buildings take 15% less damage on higher ground. They start with a Mule Cart and build Mule Carts instead of Lumber and Mining Camps, and Fortified Churches instead of Monasteries; these give Villagers within 9 tiles +10% work rate. Monaspa (unique unit from the Castle) get stronger the more Monaspa and Knights are nearby. Svan Towers: fortifications +2 attack, towers pierce through units. Aznauri Cavalry: mounted units take 20% less population space. Team: repairs cost 25% less.

What to expect from the Georgians

On open maps almost always a Scout rush – Hera's Healing Scout Rush: a few Scouts that retreat, heal and hit again, then a quick Castle Age. On closed maps Scouts or Fast Castle. From Castle Age Knights and Monaspa together, because Monaspa also get stronger from Knights, plus Cavalry Archers. In Imperial Age a big cavalry army with Aznauri Cavalry, supported by Skirmishers or Hand Cannoneers.
