Steppe Khan

(image)

The steppe chieftains are titled Khans, serving as both statesmen and generals. They have discovered the advantages of leading from behind, urging their fellows on before them. Before a battle it is customary for them to mingle with the soldiers, goading them on with threats, promises, insults or just primal bellows. Anything to spur them into a towering rage. Nearly everyone who has fought the orcs of the steppe has spoke of the unnerving roars of the orcish leaders.

Despite this, Khans are more then ready to enter the fray against any especially audacious enemy that seeks to challenge them. Often, while retaining their flail, they focus on using the axe as they are considered too valuable an asset to risk in daredevil charges.

Special Notes: When this unit’s dreadful attack is used on offensive, it decreases the damage the unit may take in retaliation, but only if the victim is of equal or lesser level. The leadership of this unit enables adjacent units of the same side to deal more damage in combat, though this only applies to units of lower level.
