Genitour Élite

Genitours are excellent counters against any archer-using opponent. Due to their comparatively high hit points and attack bonus against all archer units, Genitours emerge victorious against almost any archer unit (except the Genoese Crossbowman) in the game. They can also be used to hit-and-run against infantry, but the regular Cavalry Archer is much better suited for that due to its higher base attack. Encounters with cavalry and siege weapons should be avoided, because the Genitours cannot make use of any of their beneficial traits against these units. Considering that Skirmishers are very low-value units against non-archer units and have range and good speed, Genitours become excellent as Monk-deterrents. Even if converted, they will not be much useful to the enemy, especially in 1v1 against the Berbers' cavalry units.
