Mamelukes above the law.

Actually skirms do have a bonus vs mames which makes skerms cost-effective.

But still:

camels rape mams.

try using hand cannoneers or ranged units in masses to counter Mamelukes.

1. Don't play death match =P.

2. Mass skirms will do, Tuetonic Knights, or Cataphracts.

Remember, units that cost alot of gold normally are countered by Skirms or Halbs.

I do tend to agree they are a bit overpowered but only in DM. In RM Saracens are tough to economically balance, so having an OP special unit balances a bit.

Keep playing =P

Incorrect. Mass skirms will smash Mamelukes, as long as they are upgraded fully.

Sorry to disappoint you, but mamelukes do have "archer armor" get countered by skirmishers (even huskarls, but can huskarls touch them?)

The problem with Goth infantry vs mamelukes is that while they may create faster and you can mass them easier, they still lack that last armor upgrade. That's why their infantry get cut to pieces and they can't get in close to significantly harm a mameluke mass. Also, fully upgraded mamelukes easily counter hand cannoneers in similar numbers. It's better to use trash to counter a gold-heavy investment on a unit like a mameluke anyway in theory, imo.

Mamelukes do a lot of damage to many different units, but they also have the weaknesses of a lot of different units combined. They do damage on the armor part and not the pierce armor of units and they aren't the only ranged unit to do so, axeman are infantry and their damage is also on the armor section (they are considered like champions as far as the game is concerned). Mamelukes receive extra damage from several different units such as camels, halbs, skirms...they are considered like a cav archer that attacks armor instead of pierce armor, anything that deals extra damage to cav archer also deals it to mames (including huskarls). I play CS but as many people have stated mames are very expensive units and only spawn from castles. The easiest and most cost-effective way to beat them in a RM setting is onagers+skirms/halbs as meatshield, you use halbs/skirms/scorps depending on your economy to defend a couple of siege onagers and mamelukes can't even get near. In an open map they will try to avoid you and attack elsewhere because they are fast units, if you push steadily with castles/bbt/towers + siege+cheap skirms/halb units they can't do anything, you have to focus on making them waste ressources.

Everyone in CS knows that the effective way to beat mamelukes is a meatshield unit+archers behind such as eles+archers, teut+archers, catas+archers and so on or fight them in greater numbers such as 200 archers vs 80 mames although that's not realistic in a RM setting.

Turk cannon to snipe onagres and hc to kill mames . hussar may support
celt onagre with mass halbs may be good too , with woad riders if its possible
corean onagre with mass halbs , with some another **** support (cannon to kill onagres, hc, skirm , etc )
mongol onagres + camel or even mangudai may be a good counter also.
chinese chu ko nu with rams , and monks to convert onagres
cataphract hc + monks
etc

and yes ofc, mamels + onagre + some hussar may be the best combo in the game , u dont like to fight post imperial against
