Effect & access
Villagers assigned to the Plaza perform the ceremony while the army can use its attack effect. Since the benefit is not limited to infantry or cavalry, it can support a mixed force; it does not supply units or improve siege attack.
When to perform it
Choose it before a major fight when the army is ready to engage. Compare it with ceremonies that add units, Experience or recovery, and assign workers only when the broad attack benefit is useful now.
Attack bonus by Plaza assignment
War Ceremony is a Commerce Age Community Plaza option for Native American civilizations. Each Villager assigned increases all units’ hand and ranged attack damage by 1%; 25 Villagers provide 25%. A listed mix of 15 Villagers and 10 Warrior Priests provides 36%. It does not increase siege attack damage; the Lakota Charging Ceremony covers that separate effect.
Use it before a decisive fight
Assign workers when the army can use the attack bonus in an expected engagement. Those Villagers are temporarily unavailable for gathering, so ceremony duration has an economic cost. The bonus applies to all units’ hand and ranged attacks, but siege attacks are excluded. The ceremony was called War Dance before Definitive Edition.
