Tomahawk

The Tomahawk is an Iroquois infantry unit that is effective against cavalry, with a good attack, short range and decent siege.

Overview
The Tomahawk does its damage at range, and it's good to maintain this range whenever possible. It is built at the War Hut. It is one of the most wildly fielded units by Iroquois players due to its relatively cheap cost. The Tomahawk acts like a Musketeer to the Iroquois with less ranged and hand attack but does slightly more damage to Cavalry. It can be combined with Forest Prowlers or Aennas to form an effective combo to take out Infantry and Cavalry. They're similar to Throwing Axeman in Age Of Empires II since both do melee damage from Range, but the non-native Tomahawk ranged attack is counted as ranged.

History
"The Tomahawk is a type of axe used by Native Americans. It has a wooden shaft and a stone, iron, or brass head. A popular version of the Tomahawk could double as a smoking pipe, blending together symbols of war and peace. Iroquois men traded furs for these ingenious pipe tomahawks. Very ornate versions of these tomahawks were given as gifts to Native American leaders and were fashionable to both carry and wield."
