>Araby
>basic human minimum halbs and bows
are shit for the same reason they're shit in empire. and here you have no arty.

>royal guards
decent for the points but huscarls they are definitely not

>horses and camels
this one I'll grant is a point for araby. having access to light cav, true missile cav and knights in one list is the shit. spamming the fuck out of cav is the easiest way to make an araby list that actually works.

>carpet riders
yeah they're flyers that can shoot but they're saddled with the same downsides as DoW birdmen. better than no flyers though.

>elephant brigade
big shit smashing monsters, but also nearly as expensive as dragon ogres. and they have their own version of a Giant Does Stupid Shit table that somehow ends up being even worse most of the time. and no they cant shoot even though whatever elephant you have probably has archers modeled on top (unless its the original one).

>bunch of basic bitch characters
at least they have a selection of weird mounts with comical, shitty downsides. like a terror mount for your hero that cant join cavalry.

>the spell list
one of the better parts of the army. fireball and storm are both decent. mirage is goofball shit but can be pretty fun if you get creative with it and the enemy doesn't have hounds or other cheap fast stuff. curse is only worth it if you're rolling with the genie.
