In the game's words
How to use it
The Chimu Runner is a mace-wielding infantry unit that is unique to the Incas. It is available from the War Hut and the Stronghold starting in the Commerce Age. As a fast counter to archers that also excels against light infantry and artillery, Chimu Runners fill a role similar to that of Hussars. They have relatively low hitpoints but rather high attack and speed. In addition, Chimu Runners have a unique ability, during which they are not slowed down by melee attacks.
History
The standing army of the Inca was formed primarily by nobles, but the Sapa Inca could raise an army of able-bodied men from the general populace at will. Military discipline was strictly enforced when the troops were on the march and the army, although variously specialized, was extremely well trained. Drawing on the resources of a vast empire, the Inca recruited warriors from numerous subordinate tribes with their own military traditions. The Chimu, inheritors of the ancient Moche culture, were once bitter enemies of the Inca but, once subdued, provided the Inca with some of their most formidable and loyal troops. The Chimu were known for their use of maces and clubs in warfare. Some warriors carried a mace and a small shield, charging swiftly into battle during or after the initial projectile barrage. The speed and ferocity of these light troops made them a force not to be underestimated.
