Sicilians

The Sicilians are a powerful cavalry and Serjeant civilization with exceptional early-game defensive and push capabilities. First Crusade, their unique Imperial Age technology, spawns a squad of Serjeant infantry per Town Center — enabling a sudden late-game infantry flood. Donjons (unique Castle-like buildings) can produce Serjeants and provide strong early fortification. Their building construction is 50% more resistant to damage — making early rushes and building spam significantly more durable. Hauberk gives cavalry +1/+2 armor. Farms generate +100 food when built. Transport Ships are 2x faster and have double capacity. Sicilians excel in aggressive forward-building strategies and have one of the strongest all-in castle drop strategies in competitive play.
