Xiongnu Noble Cavalry
A power contained is not a power tamed; this tribal fury can now simply be directed where its master desires.The Xiongnu are a nomadic people hailing from north of China. They were nominally tributaries to the previous dynasty, yet remained unruly and insolent to the Han emperors until their tempestuous tempers were finally tamed, and they were deployed in the armies the Han warlords.
The Xiongnu live their lives in the saddle, and as such their cavalry is always prepared. It is said that cavalry is the foundation of military power; if so, the Xiongnu are truly mighty indeed!
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
-

Strengths & Weaknesses
- Role: anti-missile
A shielded and fast-moving unit that absorbs missile fire to charge into vulnerable missile units. - Good armour
Heavy armour protects this unit from most damage, but armour-piercing weapons will still pose a threat to them. - Vulnerable to spears
This unit's speed and mass will work against it if charging the pointy end of enemy spears!
