Oxen rider
People who ride cows. Back in the day all cows had horns. Oxford were usually not used in war fair but a farmer with a pitchfork could jump on his and join the army in desperate times. They could gore there enemy or stab them with there pitchfork.

Re: Oxen rider
Cows are a really bad choice for mounted warfare. Slow, lump of moving meat. It will be the ideal target for archers and spearmen.
I don't know if Cows were ever used in war. Can u send a link of where u found of this "Oxen Rider" ?

Re: Oxen rider
The stats are too weak for a 3 cost unit
Yeah it were a good target for spears and archers, but a quite good swarm of enraged oxes were good at wiping out closer enemies quickly.
Let me check if i could get a link i have seen in an indian action medieval movie.
The riders were actually for support, the main action was the bulls ramming.
More like bulls or oxes than cows. They were a much better substitute for wars (hostile) where the native kingdom couldn't gather enough wages for trained troops and mounts from the parent empire.QuadrupoleStrat wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 9:45 am Cows are a really bad choice for mounted warfare.

A cheap Calvilary unit. With a 2 actions still because the bull rating and farmer stabing that will make it not as weak. It could have a bonus damage
+2 to structures and + 4 to light /medium foot melee

Re: Oxen rider
i've done a little research and found large amounts of cattle was used in war.
Like in this film.
But i did not see any riders in them.At the Battle of Tondibi in West Africa in 1591, the defending army of the Songhai Empire opened the engagement with a charge of 1,000 stampeding cattle against the lines of Moroccan infantry — a tactic that had worked in the past against enemies who had no guns. But the Moroccans did have guns, which spooked the cattle. The creatures stampeded back into the Songhai army, who lost the battle and eventually lost control of their empire as a result.
Like in this film.
But they were used as luggage carriers for travelling merchants and military.

Re: Oxen rider
I think the mount will be hard to control so i don't think this can be a war unit like the horses.

Re: Oxen rider
people to day ride oxen like this.
https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=ht ... egUIARC1AQ
https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=ht ... egUIARDSAQ
but if you insist what about a unit with a cow in front of it (in 1 tile)and the cattal herder could move the cow to the battle then the cow would fight but once the cow dies a man with a wip will be left.
new unit = cattle driver
stats
Cost 2
Hp of cow 20
hp of herder 12
Attack power of cow 6
attack power of herder 6
Action/ turn 1/1
Speed 4
Sight 5
Mental resistances 10%
bonus damage
+ 3 light foot melee, foot
+ 6 builders,healers,religious
+ 9 structures
Ability, Enraged (only when cow is alive)
+1 speed, +3 attack, +1 sight, +60% Mental Resistance
Last 2 turns
ability, gather herd
if in counter a wild cow it will stay by your side until it or the herder dies (fighting for you).
