[ AOE2 CIVILIZATION ]
Georgians
Defensive cavalry civ built for elevated terrain and slow-burn sieges — regenerating vils, mobile stone carts, and a scaling Monaspa.
[ IDENTIDAD ]
Georgians are the game's defensive cavalry specialist. Their bonuses stack into three thematic pillars: (1) TERRAIN — units on elevation take -15% damage, making Hideout, Hill maps, and elevated castle placement into a mechanical advantage other civs simply don't have; (2) ECONOMY — Mule Carts serve as mobile stone drop-offs (akin to Khmer houses skipping or Gurjaras' economy), villagers regenerate HP, food is cheaper from farms; (3) MILITARY — the Monaspa (Castle Age cavalry UU) gets attack and armor bonuses when grouped, Svan Towers give watch/guard towers +20% attack and +1 range, and Aznauri Cavalry makes cavalry 15% cheaper in food. They reach Paladin, Arbalester, Champion, Halberdier, and Hussar — a surprisingly complete tech tree — but their identity is the Monaspa+Cavalier+Knight line with Svan Tower defensive play. Because their bonuses are passive and defensive, they underperform on pure open maps where aggression is needed, and they excel on any map with hills, walls, or fixed terrain features.
Datos clave
⚡ Civ bonuses
Traders generate +10% bonus food when returning to the market (in addition to gold).
Units on elevation take -15% damage (in addition to the base +25% damage elevated units deal to lower units).
Georgian units fighting downhill both hit harder (standard game rule) AND take 15% less damage (civ bonus). Stacks to make elevation fights lopsided.
Villagers regenerate HP (30 HP per minute, after taking damage).
Unlike Burmese regen or other heal bonuses, Georgian villagers passively recover from raids/scouts without requiring a Monk or TC garrison. Translates to ~0.5 HP per second after a delay.
Mule Carts — mobile stone drop-off buildings, buildable starting in Dark Age.
Mule Carts act as portable stone camps, similar to Gurjaras' Caravanserai logic or Khmer houses skipping. Built at the Town Center for stone (75 stone).
Farms provide +20% more food (effectively farms work until ~210 instead of ~175).
Food per farm increased — fewer total farms needed to sustain the same food flow; less wood spent on farm rebuilding long-term.
Cavalry regenerates HP at 15 HP per minute (Castle Age+).
Monaspa, Knight line, and Scout line slowly heal out of combat — matters in running skirmishes and raid-recovery.
- · Siege Onager — Siege capped at Onager. No Siege Onager push in Imperial — rely on Bombard Cannon + Monaspa + Paladin.
- · Heavy Scorpion — [VERIFY] — scorpion line believed to stop at Scorpion; confirm Heavy Scorpion absence.
- · Parthian Tactics — [VERIFY] — if missing, Cavalry Archer line weaker vs pikes; Georgians rely on Monaspa + Knight anyway.
- · Redemption / Block Printing (monastery limitations) — [VERIFY current monastery tree] — Georgian monks weaker than Aztec/Spanish equivalents but not a primary tool.
- · Elite Cannon Galleon — [VERIFY] — naval weakness compounds with slow-start identity.
- · Fast Fire Ship — [VERIFY] — Georgian navy generally considered weak-to-middling; FFS availability uncertain in current patch.
Monaspa
anti-cavalry mounted melee (scaling cav UU; gains attack and armor when grouped with other Monaspas)
- · Primary Castle Age military unit; flood Monaspas from a castle to anchor a cavalry army
- · Group 3-5 Monaspas to activate stacking attack/armor bonus — keep them clumped deliberately
- · Mix with Knight/Cavalier to take trades vs archer civs — Monaspas soak hits while knights flank
Torres Svan
Watch Towers and Guard Towers gain +20% attack, +1 range, and +10 line of sight.
When: Mid-Castle Age once you have at least 2-3 forward towers standing, or before committing to a tower-based defensive line on Hideout. On open maps, less essential — consider delaying or skipping in favor of Monaspa production.
Caballería Aznauri
Cavalry units cost -15% food (buffed to -20% in patch 162286). Upgrade cost also reduced in the Jan 2026 balance patch. Makes Paladin, Monaspa, and Hussar production economical at scale.
When: Imperial Age, preferably before or during the first Paladin upgrade. Stacks compounding with Bloodlines + Husbandry + cavalry HP regen.
🎯 Recommended build order
Scout → Knight Castle + Terrain Play
Bracket 1300-1600Decide at ~15min whether to invest in Svan Towers (Hideout/Hill) or straight cavalry (Arabia) based on map scouting.

❌ Common mistakes playing Georgians
-
▸
Playing Georgians on Arena or Nomad
Arena (~33.5% WR) and Nomad are Georgians' worst 1v1 maps. Civ identity is wasted.
fix:Pick Georgians on Hideout/Hill/Fortress; avoid Arena unless forced.
▸Fighting downhill or on flat ground when elevation is available
The -15% damage bonus requires elevated position. Fighting downhill literally costs you the civ bonus.
fix:Identify hills in the first minute; set up military near them; always attack from high ground.
▸Not building Mule Cart
Mule Cart is a defining Georgian bonus — ignoring it means stone eco lags like a normal civ.
fix:Build 1 Mule Cart in Dark/Feudal near closest stone; add 2nd in Castle Age.

⚠️ Producing Monaspa alone instead of grouped
→ Produce Monaspa in batches of 3+ from the castle; keep them stacked on attack-move; never split them.
❌ Skipping Svan Towers on terrain maps
Next match: Scouts in feudal → Castle click with stable + range pre-placed → First Knight/Monaspa mass at 19-21min → Svan Towers + second castle by 24-26min (on terrain maps) → Imperial 30-32min with Aznauri + Paladin upgrade first clicks. On Arabia the plan skews more Knight- heavy with less tower investment.
