Saracens need a rework in DE

The Saracens historically in the early ages are so strong they were able to 1v2 the Byzantine Empire and the Sassanian Empire(Persians) and take there land forever that's the equivalent to a dark age player destroying two players in imperial age .

But in AOE2 they are so weak especially in the early ages with no good ECO bonus or a specific strength early on and even in Imperial age the Mamluks are not an option they are so gold heavy than Mangudai and there range is so low so you can't use Hit and run or support your troupes from the back line so you need to put them in the front line so they can hit something, and the team bonus is just a meme.

Historically The Saracens cavalry where very fast and light but hit hard and destroyed the Byzantine Cata's effectively in the battle of Yarmouk and the Saracens infantry where able to destroy the Persians elephant effectively in Battle of al-Qadisiyyah.

There are many rumours out there about why the AOE2 dev's didn't balance the Saracens some say for racist reasons and some say because not much player's asked for balancing them so they didn't bother, the truth still unknown.

Currently the Saracens are the record holder for the lowest win-rate in the game for 2000+ elo in Vobbly Congratulation .
