These mounted men carry long lances capable of causing significant damage to enemy.
Overview
The horsemanship of many Native Americans is unparalleled. Able to wield any number of weapons on horseback, they are formidable foes. Perhaps their most deadly weapon from horseback is the lance. Often decorated with items to commemorate courageous acts performed by a warrior, eagle feathers traditionally mark a particularly ferocious man.
The traditional lance used for hunting was found to be far too long for use in warfare, and a much shorter version was developed. The materials used to make a lance would depend on the areas a tribe inhabited, but the “business end” was made from flint, a material far sharper than many more “civilized” materials.
Details
These lancers act much like their European counterparts: a devastating charge suitable for breaking wavering regiments. The lancers do have weak defense and weak melee capabilities. Should they be bogged down in a melee, they will almost surely lose on their own.
