Trivia[]
- The Elite White Feather Guard has the longest name in the game.
- The ability to slow down enemy units is a universal mechanic in Age of Mythology and Age of Empires III, where it is called snare.
- An Elite White Feather Guard alone is tied with Armenian Champions with Fereters and Mayan Elite Eagle Warriors with El Dorado as the foot soldiers with the third highest hit points (100), after Elite Teutonic Knights (110) and Warrior Priests with Fereters (125). With a full horde bonus from Coiled Serpent Array, however, Elite White Feather Guards become the foot soldiers with the second highest hit points (115).
