Talk:Rattan Shield/@comment-38661291-20190625043836

So few units actually counter Rattans making them extremely effective warriors in many situations,from raiding, to scouting, to taking out artillery and akirmishers. They basically act like a coyote runner with more range resist and hitpoints in exchange for a slightly lower attack BUT they lack the coyoteman tag meaning they are not countered by ranged cavalry of any kind. This makes them an effective counter to skirmish dragoon compostitions. Only fusiliers (range and melee) and melee infantry/musketeers (melee only) have an actual multiplier against them. China can make them especially powerful, but the civ that can use them best is Aztec, as Coyote are just so vulnerable to dragoons and Rattan are much higher HP.
