Comanche Horse Archer

The  is a ranged cavalry trainable in Comanche Settlement.

Overview
The Comanche horse archer is similar to the European Dragoon, however it is more cost effective. This is due to the fact every map featuring the Comanche was added in The WarChiefs, on these maps trading posts only cost (the same as a Stable) rather than the usual 250. The horse archer is more effective versus enemy hand cavalry than the dragoon due to its melee resistance but will die more quickly to ranged infantry.

History
"It is thought that the Comanche split off from the Shoshone and moved onto the Great Plains and south into Texas in pursuit of horses. After its introduction by the Spanish, the horse became an integral part of Comanche life. A man would spend much of his life astride a horse, and his family's wealth was measured in horses. The Comanche people successfully defended their lands from European settlers for almost a 100 years, fighting off wave after wave of settlers. They fought and hunted from horseback with short bows, lances, and buffalo hide shields."
