What to expect from the Gurjaras

Usually a Scout rush with Camel Scouts and Scouts, less often Archers or a Drush; on closed maps often Fast Castle. In Castle Age Kshatriyas makes their army cheaper: Shrivamsha Riders, Camel Riders and Elephant Archers, plus Chakram Throwers against infantry. Their bonus damage makes their camels especially dangerous against your cavalry. In Imperial Age Heavy Camel Riders, Elite Shrivamsha and Elephant Archers with Frontier Guards, plus Hand Cannoneers.
