Defenders of the Empire
The empire is above all, imbued with the will of heaven. It will be defended!To some, the integrity of the ruling dynasty is paramount. Such people will march to war in its name and die defending its ideals.
The Defenders of the Empire stride to battle in thick armour, with a shield to brace against enemy attacks. On the frontlines, they deliver Han justice at the point of a spear.
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 (Spear)
The unit presents a wall of shields to the enemy - an offensive formation best used to push forward under arrow fire. -
Turtle
The unit presents its shields around and above, severely limiting its movement but making it almost impenetrable to missile attack.
Attributes
-
CHARGE REFLECTION VS. MOUNTED

These troops carry shields to protect them from incoming missiles, but offer little defence against artillery.
