Swooping Crane

"Swooping Crane" is a skirmishing tactic used by horse archer units to harass their targets with a constant barrage of arrows; it is essentially the same as the "Cantabrian Circle" used in Europe and the middle east. If the attacking unit is positioned within range of more than one unit the ability will result in a firing arc of 360 degrees. Swooping Crane can be used in conjunction with skirmish mode to keep horse archers away from melee situations. The downside of this ability is a drain on their stamina due to the constant movement involved.
