Overview
The War Club is the basic heavy infantry unit of the Sioux. It can be trained from the War Hut. It is effective vs cavalry and light infantry. It does melee damage and a relatively good siege attack. Use the war club as a cavalry counter and a light infantry counter.The War Club acts like a pikeman to the Sioux with slightly more attack vs other units except cavalry. It can be combined with Cetan Bows to form a cheap combo to take out infantry and cavalry. It can however be defeated by cavalry with a large amount of Hitpoint and AoE damage such the Cuirassier, Mahout Lancer and the Spahi or cavalry with a bonus against infantry like Lancer, Jat Lancer etc.
