Shaolin Master

The Shaolin master is the Chinese equivalent of the European explorer and the North American War Chief. It has the highest attack of any explorer-class units and is unique to the Chinese.

Abilities
The Shaolin master is the strongest of the three Asian monks introduced in the Asian Dynasties. Unlike the Explorer and the War Chief, it lacks a ranged attack and is unable use the sharpshooter attack or convert treasure guardians. In order to make up for this handicap, it has the stun ability that temporarily disables treasure guardians. The Shaolin master lacks a ranged attack, but it makes up for it with a powerful staff. It is also able to do roundhouse kicks and strengthen nearby allied units when upgraded. The Shaolin master unlike the other Asian monks, begins alone. A second monk is only available by shipment from the Home City.

Disciples
The Shaolin master is able to train disciples, which are infantry units. Disciples are unusually quick-footed for foot soldiers and are a weaker version of their master. Any enemy soldier that is killed by the Shaolin master or its disciples have a small chance of being converted as disciples.
