Changes: Axe Thrower

Revision as of 12:30, 7 July 2009

Basic Information

Cost: 100 gold.

With a limitless supply of axes, these deadly Scousers can hack down any unit with no metal armor. Shorter range than the regular archers.

Tactics

Axe Throwers have the shortest range of any missile unit in SH2, but they have a high rate of fire and deal massive amounts of damage. Placing them atop of towers increases their range while protecting them from attacking siege equipment. From this position, a group of Axe Throwers can potentially eliminate an entire enemy's invading force.

This unit does actually deal decent amounts of damage to heavy infantry (though it is a good idea to have more than one Axe Thrower target each heavy infantry in order to ensure that you do not lose Axe Throwers).

They do not make a good choice for invading, however, as their short range likely means they will be destroyed before they can begin to throw axes.
