Chinese unit with moderate armor against arrow and melee. Bit less armor to shielder, but have 3 speed instead of 2 and throw javelin ability.

I feel like this unit should be a light infantry than a shielder like in aoe. Because rattan shields were extremely light but strong. Can have 4 speed and anti-ranged bonuses.
From what I've seen from aoe it could have this stats.
Trained at : Town, barracks, primitive hut.
