Righteous Vanguards

At the head of charge they draw their spears, driving home with a righteous cry!

To be the bolt of justice, to spearhead a charge deep into the enemy lines, delivering vengeance for an oppressed people, this is the task of these warriors.

Although not as powerful as some shock cavalry, these vanguards can boast of their endurance; once they have ploughed into an enemy formation with their spears, they have the armour and the skill to keep fighting, thrusting with enough force to pierce most armour with righteous intensity.

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.

Strengths & Weaknesses

  • Role: all-rounder
    Be it on the frontline, flanking, or when manning ordnance, this versatile unit excels in most positions.
  • Good charge
    This unit has a superior, devastating charge attack compared to other flanking units.
  • Vulnerable to spears
    This unit's speed and mass will work against it if charging the pointy end of enemy spears!
