Overall, the Malay are a civilization who focuses on quantity over quality. Lastly, their defensive structures are lacking without Architecture, Fortified Wall, Hoardings, or Arrowslits. Additionally, while their Two-Handed Swordsmen are very cheap, the lack of Champion and Gambesons makes them poor individually. The biggest one is their cavalry, where they are not only the only civilization to lack Chain Barding Armor, but they also miss out on Bloodlines and Hussar, weakening their Battle Elephants and making their Cavaliers and Light Cavalry practically unusable in the late-game. However, the Malay have several notable gaps in their technology tree. Lastly, their faster age up bonus not only allows them to access the powerspike associated with further ages faster, but also gives them a Villager lead against an opponent. Their Monks are good as only two techs are missing. Additionally, they have fully upgraded Arbalesters, Elite Skirmishers, and Bombard Cannons. Their Battle Elephants are also strong with a -30%/-40% cost reduction in the Castle/Imperial Ages. Their infantry units are strong thanks to receiving the infantry armor upgrades for free and having Forced Levy, which makes their Two-Handed Swordsmen trash units.

Their Fish Traps are cheaper and provide 3x food meaning a lot of wood will be saved over the course of the game. Their true strength lies in naval economy, however. Consequently, their naval technology tree is flawless apart from the missing Heavy Demolition Ship. The Malay are primarily a naval civilization. Team bonus Docks have double Line of Sight.
