Holkan (Civ4)

The Holkan is the unique unit of the Mayan civilization.
== Strategy ==
Compared to the Spearmen they replace, Holkan have the following differences:
* They do not require Copper or Iron to build.
* They are immune to first strikes.
* They require Bronze Working to build.
Holkan do very well at repelling an early attack. Since they can be built quickly and do not rely on a resource, you can have them up and running ready for a horse-based attack - particularly useful if you're against an opponent with an early-era unique mounted unit.
Like all early no-resource units, Holkan can run early attacks, but it's highly likely that your opponents will already have Archers and possibly Axemen, making it a more difficult route than most.
