Prince Liu Chong Melee Cavalry

Chen Peacekeepers

Prince Liu Chong is resolved that his lands in Chen will be a haven from the storm that threatens to rage through China. To this end, a strong economy and local government must be backed by a powerful and devoted military.

Peacekeepers are mobile, mounted warriors, with solid, round shields and swords for charging into enemy formations and, once engaged, remaining in the fray. Chen will be defended only by the best, the most powerful and those with the self-same adventuring spirit of their liege.

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

• ENCOURAGE
  Provides a morale bonus to nearby allies.
• HIDE IN FOREST
  Can hide in forests.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Role: anti-missile
  A shielded and fast-moving unit that absorbs missile fire to charge into vulnerable missile units.
• Encourages allies
  This unit is led by a person of great renown, who inspires the morale of those around them.
• Good armour
  Heavy armour protects this unit from most damage, but armour-piercing weapons will still pose a threat to them.
