Prince of Qi Shock Cavalry

Jade Dragons

These riders are as fearsome as the great beasts they take their name from. Their role is to take on the enemy directly, thrusting their two-handed qiang spears while mounted.

Their horses are conditioned to ignore the din of battle, and have such high stamina that they never tire from fatigue, making them excellent for charging, moving out of range and then striking again.

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.
• Missile defence
  These troops carry shields to protect them from incoming missiles, but offer little defence against artillery.
• Low damage
  This unit will consistently cause low damage; it will therefore take time for them to deal with enemy units.
