In the game's words
How to use it
The War Chief is a cavalry unit with good speed and attack, but no range. This means the War Chief is vulnerable to units until he closes in on them. As one of the faster units in the game, this happens quickly. This unit also makes nearby allied warriors move more quickly. 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. One of the most renowned war chiefs was Sitting Bull (1831-1890), also known as Tatanka Yotanka. Born in the territory of present-day South Dakota, he was renowned as a Lakota healer and prophet. Sitting Bull led Native resistance against U.S. government attempts to take over tribal lands, which included his involvement in the Battle of the Greasy Grass (also known as the Battle of the Little Bighorn) with his lieutenants Crazy Horse and Gall. After spending several years in Canada with his followers, Sitting Bull returned to the U.S. under a government amnesty program.
