Since the Tomahawk deals damage at range, they should maintain this range whenever possible behind the front lines. It is one of the most widely fielded units by Iroquois players due to its relatively cheap cost. While only costing wood, a plentiful resource (notably, not required for advancing in age), the Tomahawk acts like a Musketeer to the Iroquois with less ranged and hand attack but does slightly more damage to cavalry. It can be combined with Forest Prowlers or Aennas to form an effective combo to take out infantry and cavalry.
"The Tomahawk is a type of axe used by Native Americans. It has a wooden shaft and a stone, iron, or brass head. A popular version of the Tomahawk could double as a smoking pipe, blending together symbols of war and peace. Iroquois men traded furs for these ingenious pipe tomahawks. Very ornate versions of these tomahawks were given as gifts to Native American leaders and were fashionable to both carry and wield."
