Imperial Sword Guard
At the gates of the imperial palace, these warriors stand, guarding the emperor with steel brandished!The Northern Palace of Luoyang is the emperor's private residence; his sanctuary away from the noise and the pressures of court at the Southern Palace. It is also the most fiercely-defended place in all of China.
The Imperial Sword Guard are equipped with dao blades, tower shields and heavy armour, meaning they can hold firm against any encroaching on imperial territory - they are the shield that guards the dynasty of heaven.
Unit Abilities
-
Caltrops
Simple nut husks, once trodden upon, cause extreme pain and slow movement. -
Circle
The unit forms into a tight circle, presenting a defensive front from any angle. -
Loose
The unit spreads apart, making it more difficult for arrows to hit them. -
Shield Wall
The unit presents a wall of shields to the enemy - an offensive formation best used to push forward under arrow fire. However the formation cannot be maintained in melee combat. -
Imperial Solidarity
Whilst in the presence of other imperial forces, enemy blows will strike false more often, whilst their own will strike harder. -
Smoke Screen
Thick plumes of smoke obscure line of sight, making units seem temporarily invisible. -
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.
Attributes
-
HIDE IN FOREST
Can hide in forests.
