I remember a game I had a very long time ago, I was Saracens and the opponent was Mayans. It was Arena and I was booming into Elite Mamelukes, but he was attacking me with plumes before I had enough mames to fight back. So I panicked and made a bunch of Stables and make a bunch of Knights (which I obviously could not upgrade to Cavalier). I had all the cavalry upgrades at this point fortunately. He came in with plumes and I attacked with a bunch of Elite Mamelukes, with some Knights in front, and completely pushed him back.
Obviously this isn't a great reference because I was probably 1300 at the time or something, but I'm wondering, has anyone else ever made good use of Saracen Knights outside of the castle age? They seem like a decent short-term meatshield because you don't need to research Light Cavalry or Hussar to get them, and they are much stronger than Hussars, but Hussars are much more cost efficient in the long run.
