The Oromo Warrior is an unique Ethiopian heavy cavalry unit available starting from the Fortress Age in the War Camp. This hand cavalry unit can attack targets quickly with its swift Shotel blade. It also has access to a powerful charged musket attack that recharges over time and allows Oromo Warriors to fire a volley before transitioning into hand combat.

Overview[]
The Oromo Warrior is heavy hand cavalry with musket attack ability. Like other heavy cavalry, the Oromo Warrior is strong against light infantry and artillery but weak against heavy infantry and light cavalry. It can use the Musket Attack ability to attack melee infantry without retaliation, or deal damage to other melee cavalry before an attack begins.

History[]
“
The early modern period saw a series of migrations of large people-groups into modern-day Ethiopia. One of these, the Oromo, became increasingly influential and numerous, to the point where they comprised the largest demographic group in the region. Famed for their bravery and martial prowess, the Oromo were valuable allies – and even more dangerous enemies.
