The example companies, organizations, products, people and events depicted herein are fictitious unless otherwise noted. [. . . ] These warriors wore jaguar headpieces and clothing that represented jaguar fur. The jaguar was chosen as the totem for warriors because it was the fiercest predator in the Central American jungles. Although it lacked the penetration power of steel weapons, the macana was able to keep a razor-sharp edge. These were veterans of demonstrated skill who carried the best weapons and were the best fighting soldiers available.
Archers
Plumed Archer & Elite Plumed Archer
Mayan unique unit. Stronger, faster, and better armored than other archers, but have less attack. Upgrades Castle other archers, slow units (Monks, Teutonic Knights, War Elephants) cavalry, skirmishers, other fast units (Eagle Warriors, Woad Raiders) Attack -- Chemistry (University) Attack, Range -- Fletching, Bodkin Arrow, Bracer (Blacksmith) Armor -- Padded Archer Armor, Leather Archer Armor, Ring Archer Armor (Blacksmith) Targeting -- Ballistics (University), Thumb Ring (Archery Range) Unit creation speed -- Conscription (Castle) Units resist enemy Monks, Missionaries -- Faith, Heresy (Monastery)
The natives of Central America had developed the bow and used it in combat. Their bow technology was not far advanced, however, in comparison to the Asian composite bow or English longbow. Archers could be ordered to wound when capture of enemies was more important than killing. Like all other Mayan warriors, archers wore distinctive costumes so commanders could distinguish their troops and place the right group where needed. The status of archers was low in comparison to other warrior ranks, so men of lower standing and skill entered their ranks. Men of status and ambition joined the ranks of the Eagle Warrior where they could have the opportunity to take captives. The better skilled and experienced bowmen became Elite Plumed Archers. They were especially important when absolute victory was required because they had the ability to kill enemies quickly and break enemy army morale under a barrage of well-aimed arrows.

War Wagon & Elite War Wagon
Korean unique unit. (The Koreans have two unique units; the other is the Turtle Ship, a Dock unit. ) Created at Strong vs. Upgrades Castle infantry, archers cavalry, skirmishers, pikemen, camels Attack -- Chemistry (University) Attack, Range -- Fletching, Bodkin Arrow, Bracer (Blacksmith) Armor -- Padded Archer Armor, Leather Archer Armor, Ring Archer Armor (Blacksmith), Targeting -- Ballistics (University), Thumb Ring (Archery Range) Speed -- Husbandry (Stable) Unit creation speed -- Conscription (Castle) Units resist enemy Monks, Missionaries -- Faith (Monastery)
The Korean kingdom of Koryo was often under attack from all sides -- by China, by barbarian civilizations to the north like the Mongols, and by sea raiders. We have hints from scant records that the Koryo were innovative warriors, perhaps being the first to use rockets in combat and carriages of some type. Trains of these wagons could be arranged into temporary fortifications in open areas, providing a mobile, yet substantial, defensive position against mounted enemies. So became the war wagon, a classic chariot with scythed blades and mobile forts from which archers could fire with some protection.
Cavalry
Conquistador & Elite Conquistador
Spanish unique unit. (The Spanish have two unique units; the other is the Missionary, a Monk unit. ) Created at Strong vs. Upgrades Castle swordsmen, Monks, Teutonic Knights, War Elephants knights, camels, pikemen Armor -- Padded Archer Armor, Leather Archer Armor, Ring Archer Armor (Blacksmith) Hit points -- Bloodlines (Stable) Speed -- Husbandry (Stable) Unit creation speed -- Conscription (Castle) Units resist enemy Monks, Missionaries -- Faith, Heresy (Monastery)

Chapter III - Units
Spanish adventurers who set off to conquer the New World became known as Conquistadors. These men were an assortment of disposed sons of the nobility and soldiers of fortune looking for adventure and loot. They arrived in the New World with a great technical advantage in weapons over the natives who could not stand up to steel swords, firearms, and mounted lancers.
