๐Ÿฐ CBA REQUIEM v294 profile

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

  • Starting age: Post-Imperial.
  • Spawn unit: not listed in the v294 wiki table โ€” ask in the Requiem Discord โ€” elephant or chariot UU most likely.
  • Spawn interval, unit cap: 11 s per Castle; cap 60.
  • Kills to Castle / Imperial: 300 (Castle) / 600 (Imperial).
  • Razes to first villagers: 2.
  • Free starting tech: none listed in the v294 wiki table.
  • Elite / silver-UT unlock: not listed in the v294 wiki table โ€” ask in the Requiem Discord.

CBA role & archetype

  • Primary role: Tank / raze (elephant signature = HP wall + building damage).
  • Secondary role: Anti-swarm.

๐ŸŒ… Opening play (minute 0โ€“3)

  • Rally forward. Elephants want front-line engagement.
  • Fights to take: infantry civs, non-Halb archer civs.
  • Fights to refuse: Halb civs (Malay/Vietnamese), Camel civs, Fire Archer.
  • Micro rule: spread patrols โ€” elephants clump, and clumped elephants die to AoE (Onager, Fire Archer).

โš”๏ธ Kill accumulation strategy

  • Safe farm: infantry civs, generic archer civs.
  • Avoid feeding: Halb civs, Camel civs, Fire Archer, Onager civs (Celts, Ethiopians).
  • Anti-cage: forward tank rally.

๐Ÿš๏ธ Raze allocation

  • Very low priority for villagers โ€” elephant civs raze naturally.
  • Feeds razes to raze-hungry civs (Huns first, then Persians, then archer civs).

๐Ÿ‘ท Post-villager composition

  • Wall order: backwall (protect Castles) then front-spikes.
  • Build: 3 Castles elephant UU, 1 Siege for Ram, 1 Stable for Hussar screen.
  • Imperial comp: Elite elephant UU + Ram + Hussar screen.
  • Silver-UT priority: not listed in the v294 wiki table โ€” ask in the Requiem Discord.

โš–๏ธ Strong against / Weak against

  • Strong vs: Goths (Huskarl bonus vs elephant? โ€” verify; typically elephants still tank), Vikings infantry, Aztecs, generic archer civs.
  • Weak vs: Malay/Vietnamese Halb, Berbers/Saracens Camel, Fire Archer civs (Shu), Celts/Ethiopians Onager.

๐Ÿค Team synergies

  • Pairs with: Halb-cover civ (Malay for own-team Halb screen โ€” awkward), Hussar-screen civ, Fire Archer civ for cross-cover.
  • Conflicts with: other elephant civs (clump risk stacks).

๐ŸŽฎ Key micro rules

  1. Spread patrols; never clump elephants.
  2. Rally forward.
  3. Backwall first.
  4. Never fight into Fire Archer.
  5. Save gold for silver UT and Rams.

โš ๏ธ Common mistakes

  • Clumping elephants โ†’ dies to one Onager volley.
  • Fighting Halb civ head-on.
  • Neglecting Hussar screen for chase/anti-siege.

๐Ÿ”’ Version-locked (Requiem v294)

  • Puru DLC assignment and tech tree in flux โ€” verify current DE patch.
  • CBA numeric fields above are from the Requiem v294 wiki table (retrieved 2026-08-21): interval 11 s, cap 60, kills 300/600, razes-to-vill 2.
    • Elephant clump risk is universally true across CBA versions; the specific AoE thresholds are v294-specific.

Global caveat. Numeric spawn/cap/kill/raze values in this appendix are from the Fandom wiki Requiem v294 table (retrieved 2026-08-21). Fields the wiki table does not cover are marked "not listed in the v294 wiki table" โ€” confirm on the map's in-game help stone before locking a strategy.
