Description[]
These tribal warriors are willing to fight for foreign invaders, as it gives them a chance for glory and fame.
These tribal warriors are willing to fight for foreign invaders, as it gives them a chance for glory and fame. No true warrior willingly runs from a fight. A man’s worth in tribal society is often measured by his skill as a warrior and war leader. Fighting for the Europeans gives a man many chances to go into battle, earn honour and gain in skill and reputation. The chance to fight traditional tribal enemies is also welcome.
Historically, European settlers had few qualms about exploiting the warlike nature of some native peoples of the New World. It was far better to have a “noble savage” at your side than facing you in battle.
General Information[]
For their cost, Native Warrior Auxiliaries are very capable in a melee fight--provided that they can reach their opponents in one piece. They are excellent against Native Americans, whose forces are largely also comprised of melee units. However, factions lose access to these as soon as they upgrade their magistrates.
