In the game's words

How to use it

The Tiger Claw is a Native hand infantry unit that attacks with its animal-like claws in close-quarters melee combat. It has a bonus against infantry and does great damage. The Tiger Claw can be trained at the Bhakti Temple. They can also be shipped from your Home City.

History

The tiger claw, or “bagh nakh,” is a weapon named for the wound it inflicts: a series of slice marks that resemble the clawing left by a wild animal. Usually made of metal, the tiger claw was wielded by Indian assassins and warriors of the seventeenth century. The basic design consists of a metal handle that is grasped in the palm. Two to four curved claws sprout from handle, sticking from the gap between the fighter’s fingers. More of a close-quarters, brawling weapon, the tiger claw is believed to have also been used in larger battles, most famously by Sivaji, the powerful emperor of the Indian Maratha.
