There are always longbows too. What I meant is that the Brit would get 20 pikes in addition to his longbow army if he suspected mamelukes. Well I would anyway.

Gastraphete to the rescue!!! Well i guess I'll be the only one to back up Patriots...
No matter how many counters you can come up, tha fact of the matter is that longbows are greater than all other light infantry, hands down.
All a british player will need is 5-10 units to meatshield any cavalry long enough for the longbows to mop them to the floor.
Rush them? I laugh at you! wall + longbows = gg
Outboom em? I laugh at you! they easily get the most amount of villagers early game and late game. IF you don't rush em early they're economy will be significantly better than yours and if they have up all their houses in age 4 you might as well resign because they can spawn 20 villagers out of their houses every minute or so.
It is easier said then done to prevent someone from aging up. History will repeat itself. Nobody thought Germany was OP in the first couple of patches. whoop dee doo look what happened then. Now that Germany is out of the picture what do you thinks gonna happen now? Yes It probably is too early to call, but once people start advancing and perfecting the british strategies, you just wait.
