📜 Deep playbook

🏛️ Standard DE profile

  • Civ bonuses:
  • Villagers benefit from Blacksmith infantry armor upgrades.
  • Houses support 10 population.
  • Start with a free Llama.
  • Farms built 100% faster.
  • Barracks units cost -15% starting Castle Age (or -25%, verify current DE).
  • Team bonus: Farms built 50% faster.
  • Unique units: Kamayuk (Castle UU, anti-cav infantry with 1-range melee attack). Slinger (Castle UU, anti-infantry ranged infantry). Eagle Warrior (regional shared with Aztecs/Mayans).
  • Unique techs:
  • Castle Age: Andean Sling — Skirmishers and Slingers no minimum range.
  • Imperial Age: Couriers — Kamayuks, Slingers, and Eagle Warriors +1/+2 armor.
  • Notable missing techs: no Knight line (no cav at all beyond Scout Cav — Incas have Scout Cav line only, no Knight, no Camel, no Cav Archer). No Cavalry Archer, no Knight, no Camel, no Hussar wait — they have Hussar via Scout upgrade path. Verify.
  • Walls: Palisade, Stone, Fortified.

🏰 CBA REQUIEM v294 profile

(v294 numbers: Fandom wiki, retrieved 2026-08-21)

  • Starting age: Feudal (Requiem v294 start table).
  • Spawn unit: Kamayuk likely (anti-cav infantry) OR Eagle Warrior OR co-spawn with Slinger. not listed in the v294 wiki table — ask in the Requiem Discord for v294.
  • Spawn interval / cap: 9 s per Castle; cap 80.
  • Kills to Castle / Imperial: 250 (Castle) / 500 (Imperial).
  • Razes to first villagers: 2.
  • Free starting tech: Squires — Couriers is a candidate for the anti-Arb build.
  • Silver-UT unlock: not listed in the v294 wiki table — ask in the Requiem Discord; unlocks Elite Kamayuk / Elite Eagle and Couriers.
  • Available buildings: standard whitelist. No cav buildings meaningful (Incas has no Knight line).

CBA role & archetype

  • Primary role: Anti-cav dive (Kamayuk) or anti-swarm mobile (Eagle Warrior).
  • Secondary role: raze via Eagle mobility.

🌅 Opening play (minute 0–3)

  • Position on the cav flank if Kamayuk; on the raze-and-run flank if Eagle.
  • Set spawn short; both units are ground-based, no need for long paths.
  • Kamayuk patrol: line-hold — the 1-range melee means Kamayuk hits from behind Halbs.
  • Eagle patrol: swarm-arc, using speed to hit multiple house clusters.
  • Take fights: cav civs (Kamayuk), archer clumps (Eagle can dive Arb better than most infantry).
  • Refuse fights: mass Skirm, mass Halb, mass Onager.

⚔️ Kill accumulation strategy

  • Safe kill farm: Franks, Persians, Huns, Berbers, any cav civ (Kamayuk); Britons, Mayans, Ethiopian Arbs (Eagle).
  • Avoid feeding: Camel civ mirror doesn't apply. Avoid Aztecs (Jaguar shreds infantry).
  • Anti-caging: Slinger + Kamayuk hold the base wall well; no cav means enemy Rams are your biggest fear.

🏚️ Raze allocation

  • 1-raze priority medium-high. Incas need villagers to add Halb + Slinger + Onager to compensate for no cav.

👷 Post-villager composition

  • Wall order: front wall, backwall, gate patch.
  • Standard build: 3 Barracks (Kamayuk + Halb + Champion + Eagle), 2 Ranges (Slinger + Skirm), 2 Siege Workshops (Ram).
  • Imperial composition: Elite Kamayuk + Slinger + Elite Eagle Warrior + Halberdier + Siege Onager + Ram.
  • Silver-UT priority: Couriers first (+1/+2 armor on all UUs is huge), Andean Sling second.

⚖️ Strong against / Weak against

  • Strong vs: Franks, Persians, Huns, Berbers, Britons (Slinger anti-Arb), Mayans (Eagle + Slinger).
  • Weak vs: Aztecs (Jaguar), Vikings (Berserker), Ethiopian Shotel, Chinese CKN + Halb, Bohemians HC, Turks Janissary.

🤝 Team synergies

  • Best partners: Britons (Slinger absorbs mirror; Arb covers), Koreans (Onager + Kamayuk), Turks (BBC + Slinger), Cumans (Kipchak peel + Kamayuk hold).
  • Conflict: pairing with Aztecs/Mayans creates redundant Eagle overlap.

🎮 Key micro rules

  1. Kamayuk 1-range means always stand behind Halb — 2-deep formation.
  2. Slinger has no min-range with Andean Sling — kite freely.
  3. Couriers first, always.
  4. Eagle Warrior for raze, not for kills.
  5. No cav means Rams are your worst enemy — kill Rams first.

Common mistakes: A-moving Kamayuk (1-range advantage wasted); skipping Couriers; overbuilding Stables (no Knight).

🔒 Version-locked (Requiem v294)

  • Kamayuk / Eagle / Slinger co-spawn permutations are not listed in the v294 wiki table — ask in the Requiem Discord for v294.
  • Villagers-benefit-from-infantry-armor bonus is DE-standard but inert until villagers arrive.
