Prince of Qi Ranged Infantry

Imperial Palace Crossbowmen

All along the ramparts of the imperial palaces and the bastions of the capital, the crossbowmen of the palace stand ready to repel all invaders with thundering bolts and an unending zeal.

The crossbow can be fired and reloaded with relative alacrity and accuracy, even by the relatively unskilled, compared to the training and power required to use a standard bow. The highly-trained imperial soldiery, then, truly are dealers in death.

Unit Abilities

• Loose
  The unit spreads apart, making it more difficult for arrows to hit them.
• Imperial Solidarity
  Whilst in the presence of other imperial forces, enemy blows will strike false more often, whilst their own will strike harder.
• Smoke Screen
  Thick plumes of smoke obscure line of sight, making units seem temporarily invisible.
• 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.

Attributes

• HIDE IN FOREST
  Can hide in forests.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Role: bombardment
  Ordnance units excel at scything down enemies, particularly when on high ground and protected by infantry.
• Good morale
  This unit will keep fighting even when others have already routed.
• Good against armour
  This unit's missiles are heavily tipped to drill through the strongest armour, but will still be deflected by shields.
