Game Info
Treasure Guardians are infantry, cavalry, or naval units that stand in a map guarding Treasures of wood, food, coin, units, or special bonuses for your explorer; such as increased hitpoints- althoguh these bonuses for your explroer only last the game. The Treasure Guardians have to be killed in order to claim Treasures. In the early stages of the game some treasure guardians can proove a challenge to defeat and should not be taken care of by civilian units, as high losses will result. Against renegade units, rather than creatures, are much tougher to defeat and should be dispatched with military force, or by use of the explorers sharpshooter ability.

Some of the treasure guardians are identical to mercenaries avaiable to hire through the saloon.
