How to Play Slavs
Ideal opening (Dark → Castle): Begin with a Scout Rush to pressure the enemy economy, then transition into either Supplies-backed Longswords for an infantry push or commit to a Cavalry-plus-Siege composition that leans on your cheaper siege workshop units as you reach Castle Age.
Ideal late-game composition: Pair Halberdiers as your trash backbone with your discounted Siege Onagers or Siege Rams for the gold-heavy punch, and fold in Hussars to clean up and raid.
Deathball composition (closed maps / team games): Anchor a slow push with Halberdiers in front, mass Siege Onagers or Heavy Scorpions for area damage behind them, and add Trebuchets to break down fortifications.
Recommended build: Scout Rush
