Changdao Swordsman

The Changdao, sometimes refered to as the "sword dude", is a Chinese unit that is very similar to the European Halberdier, although slightly less powerful, and cheaper.

The Changdao is an Infantry unit with a moderately high melee attack, and a decent modifier against Cavalry, and a reasonable siege attack. The Changdao is an excellent counter to Hand Cavalry, and Pikeman units, as well as being fairly competent against buildings. The will quickly die against light Infantry and Cannons, and are not good counter to light cavalry, despite their multiplier, due to speed and range issues.
