Cave Lancer

This unit is from the Archaic Era. Its coding and art were done by doofus-01.

The northern cave rat is a semi-aquatic mammal about the size of a wolf. It has a large flat tail for swimming and powerful incissors for biting through tree roots, as it lives underground and near water. They are social animals, like wolves, so they have similarly been approached by the more determined goblins.
The lancers have an improved understanding with their mount, so they can use their thighs and heels to communicate, freeing their hand to hold a spear. They've also scavenged better pieces of armor.

Special Notes: The length of this unit’s weapon allows it to strike first in melee, even in defense. This unit is able to slow its enemies, halving their movement speed and attack damage until they end a turn.
