The Axe Rider is a Sioux heavy Cavalry unit in Age of Empires III: The WarChiefs.
Overview
Edit
The Axe Rider has a higher attack than most other cavalry units, making it quick and efficient at killing light infantry. However, Axe Riders also have relatively low Hit Points, so it is recommended to guard them from heavy infantry and ranged cavalry. Mass Axe Rider production relies on gathering a large amount of Food so it is advisable to take control of the map early and secure as many hunts as possible to produce them in large numbers. It is good idea to combine them with Rifle Rider as the Rifle Riders can break through the enemy's line of Musketeers and Pikemen, allowing the Axe Riders to reach the Skirmishers or Artillery they were protecting and eliminate them.
Upgrades Edit
