Mayan Hornet Throwers??

The flag turns yellow here.
I think it makes them fight worse but not sure.

It's an area of effect thingy so it can affect your own troops just like the cows. Problem is all the good troops have 25 morale so not sure if it affects then never noticed anyone routing from it or trying to swat any flying objects.

I think it lowers morale and does a little damage to the unit over time (but not a whole lot).

Truthfully I don't use hornet throwers. Tiny range, tiny numbers, and seem to do next to no damage.

Thanks guys, i havnt been training any hornet throwers but i think one of my armies started with some.

Cheers again.

If they're like the cows don't they lower attack and defense, too? I always felt like units going through the smoggy ruminants are much easier to beat than normal (and not only because of lower morale).

Talking out of my *** here but couldn't you use them in the same way? Lay a patch of hornets somewhere the enemy will move through, then run the hornet throwers behind your lines and turn auto-fire off?

I dont think you can order them to randomly throw hornets nests at a patch of ground, but i`ll certainly check it out mate. I think in the meantime i`ll just use them as a first line of skirmishers untill i run out completely then I wont need to worry about them anymore :)

Hmm true that's probably not possible. I really wonder why CA still didn't include an area fire mode
