Matchup & timing
Check its attack profile and special ability before committing it; field this unit when its listed role fills a gap in the current army or scenario objective.
Use speed to apply Attack Promotion
The Clansman costs 70 Food and 40 Wood, trains in 30 seconds, and has 140 hit points and 6.5 speed. Its hand attack deals 18 damage and siege attack 11; Attack Promotion is its listed ability. Access depends on a House of Stuart palace settlement or Native Embassy, so it is not a standard Barracks unit. Use its speed to reinforce a flank and protect it from dedicated counters.
Choose Attack Promotion for a support group
At 6.5 speed, Clansmen can rotate quickly between the main force and a flank. Their 18-damage hand attack and 11 siege damage support close combat and structure pressure, but they have 140 hit points and are not a heavy frontline. Use Attack Promotion with the units it is intended to support, and maintain access through the House of Stuart settlement or Native Embassy.
