The best way to deal with Chief's Bodyguards is to bombard them with artillery, or use riflemen with stakes. Fighting Chief's Bodyguards in a melee can be a very bloody affair, even with greatly superior numbers.

    Overview

    They are expected to shadow the chief at all times and, if necessary, lay down their lives to protect him. This is one of the highest honours available to a warrior, and those that are afforded it will proudly show their status.

    Chiefs were often chosen for previous acts of valour and were men that other warriors respected and would follow willingly. Although chiefs held the power to make decisions in the tribe the elders had the power to over rule them on any decisions that did not focus on the good of the tribe. These tribal elders were also responsible for choosing a new chief when the previous one died.

    Details

    Possessing almost twice the manpower of a regular General's Bodyguard, with almost unbelievably good melee and defensive stats, Chief's bodyguards can take on two line infantry regiments and still stand a chance of winning.
