    Overview

    Crow Horse Warriors can employ two tactics in warfare to great effect. Firstly, they can wear an enemy down with arrows; they can then demolish them by charging home and doing terrible work with their axes. Fear is a stranger to Crow warriors: the battlefield is a chance to prove that a warrior has mettle, and so improve his standing within the tribe.

    Historically, the Crow gave recognition and status to individuals who had achieved much in war. They could take part in religious ceremonies, name children and gain rank and reputation within the tribe. Warriors who ‘counted coup’ against enemies would decorate their war shirts with rosettes, or wear wolf tails at the heels of their moccasins. Conversely, anti-social behaviour was punished: the Crow had ‘joking relatives’ whose job was to shame each other into behaving appropriately. If good behaviour wasn’t observed, the next step was exile, or the destruction of the offender’s lodge and belongings.

    Details

    Crow Horse Warriors are a unique unit available only to the Pueblo nations in the Warpath Campaign. They are a missile Cavalry unit, fielding bows and tomahawks. Due to this they can output an impressive fire rate to to the quick reload speed bows have. This means that they can unleash a few volleys upon the enemy before they have a chance to reform and open fire. By this time the Crow Horse Warriors can ride away to a safe distance. They can also handle themselves well in melee and if supported by other units, will likely defeat enemy line in combat. However they should not be used on a frontal attack on an enemy Line Infantry, as a volley could be devastating.
