Thunder of Jian'an
These elite troops’ armour protects them in close combat, enabling them to fight when not using their long-range, armour-piercing crossbows.Good armour can provide some protection against arrows but offers little against the power and momentum of a crossbow bolt. The 'Thunder of Jian’an' are considered the best crossbow troops and are equipped with better armour than their equivalents to protect them in close combat.
The draw weight of a crossbow increases the speed and power of the bolt when released, and the mechanism means that a bolt can be loaded and held indefinitely until the user is ready to fire.
Unit Abilities

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. -
Loose
The unit spreads apart, making it more difficult for arrows to hit them.

Strengths & Weaknesses
- Role: skirmishers
Skirmishers serve to distract and soften up enemy troops, and are almost impossible to run down as they harass their targets. - Good against armour
This unit's missiles are heavily tipped to drill through the strongest armour, but will still be deflected by shields. - Weak against cavalry
This unit is very vulnerable to cavalry charges, especially to the flanks.
