Strong against
- Archer line, Longbowman (somewhat). Skirmishers and riders run down foot archers.
- Spearman line (somewhat). Arrows and swords beat spears.
- Militia line (somewhat). Swordsmen are all-rounders: nothing beats them cheaply in a straight fight, and shooters wear them down only while they keep their distance.
- Battering Ram line, Mangonel line, Rocket Battery line, Springald line, Trebuchet, Petard (somewhat). Riders and swords smash siege engines; bolt throwers and cannon pick them off.
- Buildings. Siege engines bring buildings down; infantry does it slowly.
Weak against
- Scout Rider line, Knight line, Camel Rider line, Steppe Spearman line, Fire-Lance Rider line, Militia line, Francisca Thrower, Springald line (somewhat), Bombard (somewhat). Riders and swords smash siege engines; bolt throwers and cannon pick them off.
