Usage

The Horseman is vulnerable to light units class because light units have a bonus against fast units. It is always the first unit to move and are able to reach the other end of the map in 2 turns, thus making it very useful to counter both ranged units and artillery units. However, it cannot pass though water or rocks. It can be used as a decoy to distract enemies by moving to another corner of the map that is away from the main army.

It is very weak against the Spearfighter which is the most commonly encountered unit in the Bronze Age, therefore the Horseman is much less useful in this age compared to fast units of other eras.

However, it can be used as a sacrifice unit by rushing into the enemy and hitting a slinger so that it does almost no damage in the next turn.

History

In the Bronze Age, humans learned to domesticate and then ride horses, creating a new type of unit. Horses greatly changed human civilization, allowing them to travel greater distances. Eventually, they were used for combat, with their fast speed and ability to move quickly around a battlefield being a valuable asset for thousands of years, until the advent of engines and gunpowder.

Appearance

The horseman has a leather and bronze helmet, a leather tunic, and a bronze spear. The horse does not appear to have stirrups, as they were not yet invented. The horse is brown, with a blue cloth where the rider sits.
