They are in essence mercenary Halberdiers, differing only in value and tech requirements. Like Renegade Chinese Warlord they come into play only in the Axial Age.

Notes

There are 3 tiers of this unit:

• Age of Empires: One has a Han cap, but the other has robes with red armour.
• Warbirth / Bronze Dawn - one unit has lacquered armour, but the other one should have no armour - and both of them are bareheaded.
  • If so, Ge Infantry (Ko'-P'openg) need to have rudimentary leather armour. Or caps
