He Yi Yellow Turbans Ranged Infantry

Yellow Turban Archers

The Yellow Turbans’ cause is shared by all people unfortunate enough to be born outside of nobility and power.

Outlaws may be considered a scourge upon the land, but their professions – often undertaken by necessity – requires a quick eye and reflexes, and no little bravado to pull off daring raids.

These former bandits’ morale and accuracy with the bow is much improved over any peasant archers they fight alongside. They also carry swords for close combat, but only draw them as a last resort.

• Loose
  The unit spreads apart, making it more difficult for arrows to hit them.

  Idle soldiers will burn down nearby buildings.

Strengths & Weaknesses
