In the game's words
How to use it
The Inca War Chief is an infantry unit with a high attack, a lot of hitpoints, and no range. He wields a halberd in battle, making him especially effective against enemy cavalry units. As the Inca War Chief does damage in melee combat, he is vulnerable to ranged attacks as he moves in close. The primary bonus for the Inca War Chief is that all Native warriors near him gain additional hitpoints and attack. Additionally, he has a special attack mode, Condor Eye, that can be used once every couple of minutes to launch a javelin into enemy forces, dealing damage within a small area. Like Explorers, the War Chief has a good line of sight and can collect Treasures. The Inca War Chief can also construct Town Centers, Tambos, and Strongholds. If a War Chief falls in a fight, he collapses and has to generate enough hitpoints to be recovered by allies. A fallen War Chief can also be returned to the Community Plaza by performing the War Ceremony.
History
The indomitable ruler of the Inca Empire was the Sapa Inca, who was believed to be the son of the sun-god Inti and thus semi-divine. His function was mainly political and spiritual: he administered the maintenance and growth of the extensive Inca infrastructure system and was responsible for overseeing the efficiency of the political and economic bureaucracy, arranging the calendar, and for providing for the impoverished. As a conduit to the sun-god Inti, he also oversaw the worship of this all-important deity. However, the Sapa Inca had a critical military function as well: he was bound by the responsibility to expand the Inca Empire so that he might leave his successor with more than he himself had inherited. Many Sapa Incas oversaw extensive military campaigns that were carried out by their loyal generals, often their own sons. Politically, religiously, and militarily, the Sapa Inca’s absolute authority was symbolized by an extensive regalia of significant items that marked his role as the link between gods and humans. Even posthumously, the Sapa Inca retained this role and was purportedly a valuable source of information and wisdom for those visiting his tomb.
