⚡ Quick reference

  • Baseline: Foragers +food, Settlements can train Spear/Skirm, infantry/Slinger/Skirm +HP by age, cavalry generate gold per military kill, enemy Castles revealed. Team: Spearmen + Skirmishers +LoS. UU Kona (cav; bonus vs injured, counters gunpowder, no cav armor upgrades). UU Bolas Rider (ranged cav; bonus vs mounted; heavy bolas slows). UT Malon (Bolas Rider/Slinger/Skirm 30% pass-through; researched 25% faster). UT Butalmapu (team UUs cheaper).
  • Requiem v294: starting age Castle; kills-to-Castle 75; kills-to-Imperial 400; razes-to-vill 1. No Fortified Walls (Stone Walls).
  • CBA role: strong CBA candidate — cavalry gold per kill is redundant in CBA (infinite gold) but Malon pass-through + Bolas slow are devastating; Konas clean injured targets.
  • Post-vill: no Knight line — Castle Age Stables → Bolas Rider + Kona; Imperial pivot to Malon Slinger/Skirm mass + Crossbow + Rams. Spawned UUs become escort/filler only.

🏰 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 — ask in the Requiem Discord — Malón Raider or Mapuche UU likely.
  • Spawn interval, unit cap: 10 s per Castle; cap 80.
  • Kills to Castle / Imperial: 75 (Castle) / 400 (Imperial).
  • Razes to first villagers: 1.
  • Free starting tech: Forging + Iron Casting (+2 melee attack).
  • Elite / silver-UT unlock: not listed in the v294 wiki table — ask in the Requiem Discord.
  • Available buildings / disabled units after villagers: not listed in the v294 wiki table — ask in the Requiem Discord. No cavalry likely on Americas signature; verify.

CBA role & archetype

  • Primary role: Raze (if UU has building bonus) / skirmish.
  • Secondary role: Anti-cavalry infantry.

🌅 Opening play (minute 0–3)

  • Rally short-forward on a flank; Americas UUs typically want mid-range skirmish, not full melee dive.
  • Fights to take: light cavalry, hussar mass, generic archer civs.
  • Fights to refuse: heavy infantry (TK, Huskarl), dedicated anti-infantry.
  • Micro rule: stagger patrols; skirmish UUs value spacing.

⚔️ Kill accumulation strategy

  • Safe farm: hussar civs, Mongol/Hun light-cav mass.
  • Avoid feeding: Goths (Huskarls chew skirmish infantry), Teutons TK.
  • Anti-cage: mid-flank rally, never front-central.

🏚️ Raze allocation

  • Mid to high priority for villagers if UU raze is weak (verify).
  • Feeds razes to elephant/dedicated raze civs.

👷 Post-villager composition

  • Wall order: front-wall for raid protection, backwall second.
  • Castle Age: Stables → Bolas Rider + Kona. Mapuche have no Knight line — their trainable Stable cavalry (Bolas Rider vs. mounted, Kona finisher, gold per military kill) is the Castle Age army, backed by Malon Skirms from 2 Ranges.
  • Imperial: pivot to the Malon Slinger/Skirm mass + Crossbow + Rams. 30% pass-through Slinger/Skirm volume (with the per-age HP bonus) is the trainable deathball; no Arbalester — Crossbow is the cap — and the mangonel line is disabled in v294, so Rams are the siege.
  • Castle-spawned UUs become escort/filler only for the ranged mass, not the core.
  • Silver-UT priority: not listed in the v294 wiki table — ask in the Requiem Discord.

⚖️ Strong against / Weak against

  • Strong vs: light cav civs, hussar mass, generic archer civs.
  • Weak vs: heavy infantry, elephant civs (no anti-elephant tools without Halb), Franks Paladin.

🤝 Team synergies

  • Pairs with: heavy tank civ (Persians, Teutons), elephant civ (Bengalis for the raze conversion swap).
  • Conflicts with: other Americas civs — role overlap.

🎮 Key micro rules

  1. Stagger patrols.
  2. Flank rally.
  3. Refuse heavy infantry engagements.
  4. Save gold for silver UT.
  5. Keep siege in the back rank.

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • Trying to tank fights with skirmish UU.
  • Neglecting siege for post-villager scaling.

🔒 Version-locked (Requiem v294)

  • Mapuche is a newer civ; DE numbers still shifting patch-to-patch. Verify.
  • CBA numeric fields above are from the Requiem v294 wiki table (retrieved 2026-08-21): interval 10 s, cap 80, kills 75/400, razes-to-vill 1.
