Mahout Lancer

The Mahout Lancer is an Indian unit that costs considerable resources and population, but has a high hand attack with good area effect, and an insane number of hit points. The Mahout Lancer is a durable Cavalry (technically an elephant) unit that is good against Ranged Infantry and Cannon, and should be used as a normal Heavy Cavalry unit. It is vulnerable to Heavy infantry both at range and in melee, and against Light Cavalry units. Due to its high hitpoints, it is sometimes effective to have it fight off Ranged Infantry well under attack without taking heavy losses, although you must be careful doing this. The 2 and 3 Mahout Lancer cards available in Fortress Age are incredibly powerful and worth adding to your deck.
