🏰 CBA REQUIEM v294 profile

(v294 numbers: Fandom wiki, retrieved 2026-08-21)

Starting age: Feudal (Requiem v294 start table).
Spawn unit: Hussite Wagon (Elite on unlock). Some Requiem versions spawn Hand Cannoneer instead — not listed in the v294 wiki table — ask in the Requiem Discord for v294; assume Hussite Wagon unless the v294 table specifies HC.
Spawn interval / cap: 12 s per Castle; cap 60.
Kills to Castle / Imperial: 300 (Castle) / 550 (Imperial).
Razes: standard.
Free starting tech: Wagenburg Tactics free by civ bonus; Chemistry free by civ bonus.
Elite unlock: on Imperial promotion.
Available buildings after villagers: Barracks, Archery Range, Stable, Siege Workshop, walls/gates, up to 10 Bombard Towers (Castles and Town Centers can NEVER be built; Blacksmith & University are pre-placed). BBC / Houfnice — v294 notes list BBC as disabled; Houfnice research happens at your pre-placed Castles.

CBA role & archetype

Primary role: Tank / area denial. Hussite Wagons are mobile shields with ranged damage.
Secondary role: Anti-archer — they eat arrow fire and shoot back.

🌅 Opening play

Minute 0–3: place Hussite Wagons at the front line. They tank for teammates' fragile UUs.
Patrol: hold-position or very short patrol. Hussite Wagons are slow.
Preferred fights: any archer mass (they resist pierce).
Refuse: Onager/Mangonel fire (they eat splash), Halberdiers (bonus damage), Petards.

⚔️ Kill accumulation strategy

🏚️ Raze allocation

Last-priority raze for villagers. Bohemians want to convert kills to BBC / Houfnice, which needs Castle + villagers late. Give them razes 3–4.

👷 Post-villager composition

Wall order: back diagonal first.
Standard build: 1 Siege Workshop (Ram), 1 Barracks (Halb), 1 Range (Hand Cannoneer). UU production and Castle research run from your pre-placed Castles.
Imperial composition: Hussite Wagon front + Hand Cannoneer behind + Houfnice + Halberdier screen.
Silver-UT priority: Houfnice is one of the strongest late-game unlocks in CBA — rush it.

⚖️ Strong against / Weak against

Strong vs: All archer civs, Mangudai (they tank the fire), Kipchak.
Weak vs: Celts (Siege Onager), Ethiopians (Siege Onager + Torsion Engines), Turks (Bombard mirror + Janissary).

🤝 Team synergies

Best pairs: Turks (double gunpowder), Persians (elephant + Hussite tank), Celts (Siege combo).
Conflicts: another siege civ competing for the same anti-archer job.

🎮 Key micro rules

⚠️ Common mistakes

🔒 Version-locked (Requiem v294)

BBC and Houfnice availability post-villagers is entirely v294 whitelist-dependent. If disabled, Bohemians drop from A-tier to C-tier.
