Western vs Muslim vs eastern military tech at the same level

[Dr. Crabnipples]

I dont know if theres a wiki for this, but im wondering what are the differnces when these are all at the same level. I was always under the thought that muslim tech was best untill later on. although maybe only through calvary or something. When do these all tend to scale down. I was curious becaues i was wondering when the best time to westernise as a muslim nation would be.

Western infantry is inferior to Muslim/Ottoman/Eastern until about mil-tech 10. Found that out the hard way by Westernising too early.

It's inferior to Ottoman infantry at that stage, but Muslim/Eastern infantry is nothing special. As long as you are at least level 5 tech, you have nothing to worry about on this score.

As for the OP: Early on, Muslim tech plays like 'horde lite', with good cavalry that can be fielded in great numbers. This advantage fades quite rapidly though because of the overall infantry vs cavalry balance in the game at the moment. By tech level 14 you'll be fielding mostly infantry, whether or not you have Westernised, and it's certainly not worth suffering the Muslim tech penalty any longer than that.
