In addition they are unable to research the Two Handed Swordsmen and Champion upgrades for their infantry units. They cannot build Fortified Walls and their towers are mediocre. War Elephants are especially vulnerable to enemy Monks which can easily convert them due to their inability to research Heresy.

The War Elephant is strong against buildings, but its shortcoming is archers, heavy siege weapons and fully upgraded spearmen. However, their defenses and infantry are somewhat lacking. This coupled with their powerful cavalry gives them powerful offensive capabilities. It deals massive damage to all units and has a huge amount of Hit Points which makes it powerful in melee combat able to take down multiple units but is very slow. Their unique unit is the War Elephant, a type of very-heavy cavalry. For being one of the civilization least impacted by the Dark Age, they have a bonus for Town Centers and Docks and begin with extra resources in a standard game.

This is highlighted with their unique unit, the Gbeto, where it is noted to be the only unique unit that is a female soldier. West African cultures held women in high esteem, and Malian women participated in every part of society, including the military. Historically, the Malians were known for their very progressive society that puts a lot of emphasis on education and to highlight this achievement, their team bonus increases the research speed for University technologies.
