In the game's words
How to use it
Adorned with buffalo-horn headgear, the Cheyenne Rider is a fast mounted cavalry unit with a strong attack. The Cheyenne Rider has good resistance and good hitpoints, but no range. Like most melee units, they are vulnerable to ranged attacks until they can get close enough to their targets to attack. Cheyenne Riders are very good against infantry, in contrast to most cavalry, who generally should avoid engaging infantry. They will still take damage as they run in close to ranged enemy units, but if those units are infantry there had better be a lot of them.
History
To the Native peoples of the North American plains, the horse represented both freedom and power. Horses were prized possessions to the Cheyenne, and were significant spoils of war. When armed with a lance, a mounted Cheyenne warrior presented a fearsome foe. Before Cheyenne warriors engaged in battle, their leaders carefully planned their raids in detail. To kill one’s enemy in battle was of course a good thing to the Cheyenne warrior. But of even greater importance was the act of touching a living, unhurt man and leave him unscathed, a practice known as “counting coup.” The bravest warriors were known to go into battle with only a coup stick, a twig or carved piece of wood, sometimes decorated with fur or feathers.
