—In-game description |
The Iroquois War Chief is a ranged infantry hero in Age of Empires III: The WarChiefs. In standard random map games, the Iroquois starts with an Iroquois War Chief. It explores uncharted areas of the map and has some special abilities to help himself and his tribe.
Overview
The Iroquois War Chief increases the hit points of friendly units in a radius of 24 around him by 15%. As all War Chiefs do, he can convert treasure guardians, detect stealth units, claim Treasures and build Town Centers and Trading Posts. Like other explorer-type units, the Iroquois War Chief will collapse instead of dying and can be rescued once he recovers enough health, although the War Chief Dance at the Fire Pit allows the player to return him there after a while as well as increasing his hit points.

History
โ | War chiefs, typically young men in their prime, were responsible for leading warriors into battle. Even though they led their tribe's war efforts, they had to answer to a council of tribal leaders who attended to the daily affairs of the tribe. Mohawk chief Thayendenaga, also known as Joseph Brant, fought alongside the British during the American Revolution. Along with his army of Native Americans, he fought in the battle of Oriskany in August 1779. He served as a captain in the British Army until the end of the war, at which point he turned his attentions to diplomacy and working to achieve the best living conditions for his people in the period after the American victory. | โ |
