Matchup & timing
Lieutenant Nanib’s 38-damage ranged profile makes him a useful East India Company campaign fighter, while his Trading Post and recovery abilities support mission progression. Use range from behind the Indian or British force and avoid sending him alone into a guarded objective. The scenario, not a standard roster, determines access.
East India Company campaign arc
Nanib Sahir is the central protagonist of Act III: India in The Asian Dynasties. He begins as a lieutenant serving the British East India Company and Colonel Edwardson, and his story follows the conflict between company authority and Indian resistance. He first appears in A Spreading Fire and is last listed in Souls Ablaze; the campaign repeatedly tests whether he will obey the company or protect the people affected by its rule. His profile is a campaign hero, not a standard unit that Indian players train in skirmish. Nanib can claim Treasures and build Trading Posts, giving him a scouting and map-control role in addition to combat. He has 850 hit points, 40% hand resistance and a ranged attack of 38 damage at range 16, making him useful for clearing weaker guardians and securing a route. If he collapses at zero health, keep an ally nearby until he regenerates to 100 health for revival. The title Lieutenant reflects his company service, while his character arc develops toward resistance; avoid treating his affiliation as a permanent description of his loyalties.
Hero combat and revival
Nanib’s hero profile has 850 hit points, 40% hand resistance and 24 line of sight. He deals 14 hand damage, 38 ranged damage at range 16 and 14 siege damage. If he collapses, protect him until his regeneration reaches 100 hit points and a friendly unit or building can revive him. His ability to build Trading Posts makes him valuable for route control, but the completed post still needs protection.
Indian and British East India Company hero
Lieutenant Nanib appears as a hero for the Indians and British East India Company in Age of Empires III. His 850 hit points, 40% hand resistance and five speed allow him to accompany an expedition, while the 38-damage ranged attack at 16 range gives him a substantial contribution before entering melee. He can claim Treasures and build Trading Posts, so he can combine exploration with map access. Choose a post location where the route or settlement benefit can be defended, and keep Nanib with allied troops if enemy forces contest the site.
Regeneration and campaign survival
Nanib regenerates and follows the hero collapse rule: at zero hit points he remains on the field, and a nearby friendly unit or building can revive him after he recovers to 100 hit points. Use this recovery window carefully, because the enemy can deny the location or interrupt the force. Let him regenerate between engagements and avoid trading his health for an optional Treasure that the army cannot secure. His 24 line of sight helps inspect a path before the main group moves. Campaign or civilization context may affect exactly where he is available, so keep the mission’s roster separate from the standard Indian unit list.
