good to see a beasty loss, don't see that very often.

I think the Abbasid military wing strat was important, to avoid a bizantine steam roll in feudal age. But ultimately beasty was in a good position to win, and it was all decided by details: a mistake with building that keep at the worng place, on top a desastrous fight.

I dunno about Abbasid being particularly disadvantaged against Byzantines (at least compared to other matchups against Byzantines). Byzantines can sometimes struggle to counter 2 TC, and Abbasid military wing buys plenty of time to get a second TC online. Plus, Byzantines struggle when olive oil gathering is threatened in early Feudal, and Abbasid military wing arguably enables the fastest and most impactful early Feudal aggression, at least when it comes to countering Byzantines, since Abbasid gets two unit types.

Byzantine Silk Road mercs vs Abba just feels so rough for Abba. Whats the real answer to Limatanei/Javelin/Crossbow?

Easy Byz nerf would be keep Grand Winery bonuses just remove ability to build monks (keep monk techs??) The castle transition starting with a free unit generator (Golden Horn) and free monastery as you enter (Grand Winery) can make Byz castle spike feel wayyy faster than it should

I'd feel comfortable putting my money on mass spears due to how good Abbasid spears are, though I wouldn't worry too much about mixing in Abbasid archers with composite bows and boot camp. If you can interrupt olive oil gathering, especially early on, it's hard to make enough javelins.
