Renegade Chinese Warlord

Overall strategy
These soldiers are in effect disgraced nobles or ruined monarchs, forced into a lifetime of exile doing the one sole thing they were trained from birth to do - that is, chariot warfare.They're not as fast nor as strong as regular War Chariots, but their skill as archers and the fact that they can be raised with cash up front means that for many factions, especially those with no proper assault cavalry, Renegade Chinese Warlords can be a godsend.

Renegade Chinese Warlords, while useful for most Chinese nations, are not always the best unit and so they can often be substituted by the cheaper but slower training War Chariot. But for those lacking good cavalry, such as the Bach Viet or Goguryeo, these units can well mean the difference between life and death. Use these units as you normally will with War Chariots, as an advance skirmisher unit used to break up infantry, but always be wary of archer units, such as Longbowmen or Crossbow Infantry.
