Imperial Gate Guards
Every gate is its own defence, but further held by the imposing, armoured gate guards.In defence of the emperor, these soldiers will cut back any enemy and, if need be, give their very lives. In these dark days, where the Han are embattled on many fronts, the Imperial Gate Guards act as an imposing reminder that the emperor's word is still law.
Clothed in metal armour and bearing heavy polearms, any marauder, barbarian or rebel will soon find a swift end before their righteous, stalwart line.

Simple nut husks, once trodden upon, cause extreme pain and slow movement. -
Hollowed Square

Spear Wall
The unit presents a wall of spear-points to the enemy - a strong formation that allows the unit to advance slowly but safely whilst defending against charges. -
Imperial Solidarity
Whilst in the presence of other imperial forces, enemy blows will strike false more often, whilst their own will strike harder. -
Miasma
The dense and tough undergrowth that plagues the jungles of the South is a hindrance to all those who try to penetrate into the heartlands of the Nanman.
