Stealthy Sioux Warchief
I have never seen this card used (though sioux was never really played in TR much either) but lets discuss sneaky ways this can be exploited in TR games.
well, a lot of Warchief HP has to be tanked for them to get to its cannon target, why not include it so one can sneakily get behind enemy lines to do even more damage! without having to tank to get there.
in NR 55, sneak a warcheif through walls to find a good place to build a TC within enemy base
use stealthy chief to boost stealthy tasuke (I don't know spelling) prowlers for a sneak surprise box or get behind enemy lines to kills off skirms and cannons.
any other ideas?

Re: Stealthy Sioux Warchief
you know even 55 Ori is HM, right?
you can use his to snipe enemy artillery, but if your opponent has his explorer nearby the whole idea is gone
not sure how it is on treaty patch and unfortunately I cannot check in the game, but I suspect there might be a problem with a free slot for such a card

Re: Stealthy Sioux Warchief
yes i know HM , but ori players some times try to sneak an explorer through, especially ports, take down walls on the opposite side of river and revive explorer with spy glass to inch them along until they in, meanwhile distracting the enemy. With Sioux cloaked explorer you might be able to do this without them noticing. they rebuild the walls, but you still inching him along silently until you can find a open spot and build a TC then spam cav!

I meant it was just lame, there is such a rule for a reason

Re: Stealthy Sioux Warchief
this does not violate half map, but i agree its a lame strat. but people try to sneak in explorers all the time.
Re: Stealthy Sioux Warchief
In Treaty there is always an explorer nearby, that might complicate things a bit.

Re: Stealthy Sioux Warchief
might be, but i don't think the vision area is that great you still cant flank with it. and still gets you closer without taking half damage first
Re: Stealthy Sioux Warchief
stealth units are revealed when attacking, so I'm not sure what you mean by sneaking the war chief behind the enemy walls
other than that, once your opponent figures out what's going on, he may keep his explorer with artillery to prevent it from being sniped, which may be difficult to deal with to you

Re: Stealthy Sioux Warchief
true about keeping explorer near art, but with walls on ori, port mortars can fire across the river, so you can take out walls along the edge and sneak units in sometimes.
Re: Stealthy Sioux Warchief
then it's Ports, not Sioux, and usually such raids are easily cut off from what I've seen, unless you ram in opri or DS box, but even then it can be blocked

Re: Stealthy Sioux Warchief
oh those are good ideas, uisng a dog box to get through ori walls, but your right a dog box on ori is pretty easy to stop, but what if you got in just enough to have explorer do sneaky things in a blind spot.
on some maps in nr 40 where bases have no build areas behind walls like Himalayas, some andes that would work really good to sneak Iros forrest prowlers in to sneakily build some stables behind their base. I have doen that with india but had to fight my way through first.

Re: Stealthy Sioux Warchief
ofc they do, some civs even use tower card to increase tower limit and hp
Re: Stealthy Sioux Warchief
Everytime I've fought the Sioux they used this stealth ability to devastate my artillery forces. Fortunately their team always ran out of resources eventually and surrendered.
High damage anti cavalry and stacked walls stop dog soldiers dead in their tracks. Worst case scenario is the Sioux pull back and run around doing nothing effectively.
I always cringe when I see those poor fools making 100+ dragoons in a 3v3, then losing all 6 factories and losing map control due to no armies in the field.

Re: Stealthy Sioux Warchief
I've had this card in deck for long time hoping to do some op tashunke raid but never got the chance to do it (speaking abt sup). it has to be my number 1 goal when I get back to the game

With the tashunke bug you can have them in stealth with normal speed
