Malians:
* Barracks units get +1 pierce armor per age
* Buildings 15% cheaper
* Gold mining upgrades free
I was thinking about the malian civ bonuses and I tried a 29 pop FC on arena. I have seen 3 monastery smushs on MAO3 and I believe that it is even possible to add the 4th monastery and be able to constantly produce by removing 4 (I had 8) from wood and send to gold and send more from the TC. I believe that malians can be a competitor with their smush to aztecs on arena. Their civ bonuses are so useful on this map. They lack only the imperial upgrade illumination from monastery.

It would be really exciting to watch Edie, Juan, Terror and others playing African Kingdoms.
