    ANY CALVARY

    Artillery that is set up first(and fires first)

    any unit that can melee them

      They have 5 melee attack, so get in the 2-3 range and melee them

    even your exploror can pwn them in melee.

    I've always been confused about the LC countering abus guns. Do they? Or do abus counter LC?
    I can has cheezburger?

    I'm also active on Heavengames under the same name.

    i think abus has got 1.5x vs LC, but im not sure. they are like skirms, so they should counter LC..

    anyways. make mahouts against abus. MASS MAHOUTS

    Guess the civ:

    This civ doesn't need houses. Still, putting soldiers near their houses make the soldiers better.

    abus guns got a bonus of 1.5 to light cavalry (JUST IN THE ASIAN DYNASTIES), however, still still got a bonus of x0.5 to cavalry, so its the same that they made 0.75 damage to light cavalry.

    Only a total noob would make all abus,  If he has abus he most likely has anti-cavs(Janni or cav archers), so it becomes much harder to counter his abus. 

    It is a difficult combo to beat.  You need Skirms and Cavalry and some artillery to beat this combo.  Hand infantry work too if you can get in to melee range with the abus.  But both skirms and hand infantry are countered by abus so it's a double edged sword.

    if your opponet has that many abus, then they are also burning thru gold piles fast, best bet, spam cav, and send a few to evry gold pile on the map and raid his vills
