Rattan Marksmen are a silver era crossbowman ranged infantry unit.

In-Game Description

The repeating crossbow is unique to Liangyun. What it lacks in range and hitting power it makes up for in its great rate of fire. Rattan Marksmen are best used defensively in urban combat against lightly-armoured opponents

Acquisition

Rattan Marksmen can be unlocked from the Rattan Army unit tree, where their node costs 7500 honour to unlock after prerequisites. Alternatively they can be unlocked using 20x Rattan Marksmen Signaculum, but the relative rarity of signacula makes this option much less available.

Unit Traits

Trait	In-Game Description
▲ [Rattan Armour]	Rattan armour is cheap, lightweight, and resistant to slashing, but is vulnerable to incendiary weapons.
▲ [Repeating Crossbow]	The repeating crossbow fires lightweight darts, allowing a constant hail of not very accurate fire.

Formations

Formation	In-Game Description
Dispersed	A loose formation that reduces unit vulnerability to ranged weapons.
Three Ranks	The unit forms three ranks. Good for concentrating fire.
