Overview

A wildlife unit added with The Viking Sagas. Its map role and availability depend on the scenario or environment where it appears.

Availability and investment

Pheasant becomes available in The Viking Sagas. It is associated with Northern Europe (Wildlife). The listed cost is not separately recorded and the training time is not separately recorded. This tells you when it can first join an army and which resources must be reserved alongside Villager production, upgrades, and other military lines.

    Combat profile

    The available combat values are included here so the numbers can be read as a profile rather than an isolated list. Hit points and armor describe how long the unit can remain exposed; attack and any bonus damage describe what it threatens; range, reload, accuracy, and movement describe how reliably it can engage or disengage. A value shown for a whole upgrade line applies to the listed stages as recorded, so compare the stage names instead of treating the line as one base unit.

      Field use

      Use the listed role, range, movement, and class bonuses to choose a favorable fight; the same unit can be valuable as a screen or specialist even when it is not the army’s main damage source.

      Battlefield role and use

      A wildlife unit added with The Viking Sagas. Its map role and availability depend on the scenario or environment where it appears. This is a map entity rather than an ordinary production choice. Its food, herd, or threat role depends on where it spawns and how nearby Villagers interact with it.
