How to use it
The Shaolin Rattan Shield is a Native swordsman unit. Its strength lies in its speed. However, this comes at a cost, as it does little melee or siege damage. The Rattan Shield can be trained at the Shaolin Monastery. They can also be shipped from your Home City.
History
The practice of rattan shield fighting is an art form consisting of six distinct fighting methods that is still practiced in parts of Taiwan. During the Chinese battles of Formosa in the seventeenth century, Ming military leader Koxinga expected every member of his army, from the generals to the foot soldiers, to be versed in the methods of the rattan shield. Rattan shields were widely used for a variety of reasons. Palms blanketed the regions of Taiwan and Hokkien, China, making rattan readily available. The shields were extremely light but uncommonly strong, able to block incoming projectiles, including bullets. They were even so buoyant as to be used by soldiers as flotation devices when crossing shallow bodies of water.
