In the game's words
How to use it
The Haudenosaunee War Chief is an infantry unit with good hitpoints and a decent ranged attack. This War Chief does most of his damage at range, so it is good to maintain this range whenever possible. His bonus ability gives nearby units more hitpoints. Like Explorers, the War Chief has a good line of sight and can collect Treasures and build Trading Posts. 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 doing the War Ceremony.
History
War chiefs, typically young men in their prime, were responsible for leading warriors into battle. Even though they led their tribe's war efforts, they had to answer to a council of tribal leaders who attended to the daily affairs of the tribe. Mohawk chief Thayendenaga, also known as Joseph Brant, fought alongside the British during the American Revolution. Along with his army of Native Americans, he fought in the battle of Oriskany in August 1779. He served as a captain in the British Army until the end of the war, at which point he turned his attentions to diplomacy and working to achieve the best living conditions for his people in the period after the American victory.
