The Camel Rider is used by desert civilizations to defend against cavalry attacks. Camel Riders do not receive a cavalry bonus against infantry.
The camel was adopted for military use at a very early date, perhaps before the horse in the Middle East. Camels were particularly useful for moving quickly across the desert wastes and favored by small raiding parties. They were also used in battle by desert civilizations such as the Assyrians. Riders fought with spears and swords. Like light cavalry, they could take part in the pursuit of a beaten army. They were also useful against cavalry because horses were unaccustomed to the camels' odor and often refused to come near them.
