Ojibwa Horse Warriors are a type of missile cavalry in Empire: Total War. They are available to the Huron Confederacy with The Warpath Campaign DLC.
Description[]
These powerful cavalry warriors combine mobility with hand-to-hand combat skills.
The Ojibwa Horse Warriors’ manoeuvrability makes it possible for them to cover large distances quickly and bear down on enemy threats beyond other units’ range. Wielding bows and tomahawks, the Ojibwa bombard foes with an assault that is both swift and terrible. They are an excellent force to counter skirmishers.
Historically, the Ojibwa were friendly with the French and fought alongside them against the British during the French-Indian Wars. Unfortunately, the Ojibwa had to deal with the British victors when the war was over. Rather than learning from the good relationships the French had built up, the British discouraged any camaraderie and ceased the annual tradition of gifts to the tribes. This provoked Pontiac’s Rebellion, an uprising consisting of many tribes, including the Ojibwa, under the Ottawa leader Pontiac.
