Mercenary Cavalry

Cavalry troops who fight only for gold; excellent at capturing key strategic points and fighting in hot climates.

If a soldier fights for gold, rather than out of loyalty, then they are expected to serve with excellence and earn their pay. For the right price, these cavalry troops will arrive for battle armed with exceptional qiang spears and clad in fine leather armour.

Hardened by years of fighting under many banners, they can still fight well in the blistering heat, and their mobility is especially useful for racing in and capturing key strategic points.

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.
  • Diamond
    The unit forms into a hard-edged diamond, good for both offence and defence but limiting manoeuvrability.
  • Loose
    The unit spreads apart, making it more difficult for arrows to hit them.
  • Wedge
    The unit forms into a spear-tip, best for driving directly through enemy lines.

Attributes

  • HIDE IN FOREST
    Can hide in forests.
  • RESISTANT TO HEAT
    Takes longer to feel fatigued in the desert.

Strengths & Weaknesses

  • Role: assault
    This unit excels at charging enemy frontlines, slaying all in their path.
  • Good charge
    This unit has a superior, devastating charge attack compared to other flanking units.
  • Weak against missile attacks
    This unit is unshielded and therefore has little defence against missile attacks.
