While the Sicilians are a very strong rushing civilization and very resistant Cavaliers in the early Imperial Age, their late-game is their weakness due to the lack of strong 'power' unit such as Paladin, Hand Cannoneer, Heavy Cavalry Archer, and Bombard Cannon, with generic fully upgraded Siege Onager their only reliable late-game unit to support their infantry and cavalry. While they have very solid defenses thanks to the Donjon and can build Castles faster than most civilizations, the lack of Architecture and Fortified Wall means their Castles and walls will not be as strong in the late-game (although the Sicilians still have Hoardings, which the Donjon also benefit from). Their Monks are a weakness, due to missing almost half of the technologies at the Monastery, making their Monks almost unusable. Their archers are less prominent, lacking Thumb Ring, Ring Archer Armor, Heavy Cavalry Archers, Hand Cannoneers, and Parthian Tactics, making their archers still weaker compared to many civilizations despite having Arbalesters and taking less bonus damage from enemy Skirmishers. Their navy is also excellent, lacking only Elite Cannon Galleons.ĭespite the Sicilians' noticable strengths, they do have several noticable weaknesses. Their siege weapons are also strong, with only Bombard Cannon the only siege weapon missing in the tech tree.

Their economy is also solid, as their Farms are not only more wood-efficient thanks to their upgrades providing additional food, but they can construct their Town Centers 100% faster, with Two-Man Saw the only economic upgrade they miss out. While their Stable lacks Hussars and Paladins, their cavalry are more resistant to counter units, and their two unique technologies, First Crusade and Hauberk, give their Knight-line more conversion resistance and armor, respectively (with the former compensating them for lacking Heresy). Their infantry can be fully upgraded, and their infantry unique unit, the Serjeant, can build Donjons, which can in turn train further Serjeants. On top of that, they can construct Castles 50% faster, which can either allow them to set up their mid-game defenses, or go for a Castle drop strategy. The Sicilians do not have access to the traditional Watch Tower line, but instead can build their own unique tower, the Donjon, which can train their unique unit, the Serjeant, and the Spearman line, allowing versatility for both rush and turtle strategies. However, the Sicilians can opt for both turtle and boom strategies thanks to their solid economy and unique defesive playstyle. Their distinct civilization bonus is their land military units receiving -33% bonus damage, which means they can stay alive a little longer when facing counters, making them an ideal civilization for rush strategies. The Sicilians are an infantry and cavalry civilization. Team bonus Transport Ships have +5 Line of Sight and cost -50%. Farm upgrades provide +125% additional food.Land military units (except siege weapons) receive 33% less bonus damage.Castles built 50% faster, Town Centers built 100% faster.First Crusade: Each Town Center (up to 5) spawns a one-time group of 5 Serjeants also increases resistance against conversion (effect identical to Faith).

The Sicilians flourished as the Kingdom of Sicily (under the capital Palermo). The influence of Greco-Romans, Western Latins, and Arabs would shape their culture for years to come, despite maintaining Norman traditions. They represent the Italo-Normans or Siculo-Normans, descendants of the Normans (who themselves are descended from the Vikings) who established their own state on the island of Sicily in southern Italy. The Sicilians are a Mediterranean civilization introduced in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition - Lords of the West.
