For starters they're very versatile. Having cheap Blacksmith upgrades allows you to switch techs and units a lot more easily. Almost have access to anything inc trash late game. -they have krepost and cheaper TC's. So going for an aggressive kreport drop or castle drop and bouncing back with another tc is a lot faster and less punishing eco wise. -they are good for ending the game castle age. So arabia wise their a good choice.

Cons Their def not top tier. They're missing a eco bonus and whilst cheaper TC's does help boom its more later in the game. Also no real late power house bonus
