Maori Warrior (Civ5)

== Game Info ==
Unique melee unit of the Polynesian civilization. Replaces the Warrior. Available from the start of the game.
The Maori Warrior is also used as the unique unit of all four civilizations in the Paradise Found scenario. Its cost is increased to 80, and its Combat Strength is increased to 12.
* Special abilities:
** (-10% combat strength for adjacent enemy units)
== Strategy ==
The Maori Warrior is similar to a Great General; however, instead of increasing the strength of friendly units, it decreases the strength of adjacent enemy units. Needless to say, this is very useful in all combat. The Maori are especially useful when clearing out barbarian encampments early in the game. Build plenty of these units early as their promotion stays with them when they are upgraded.

== Trivia ==
* "Maori" meant "normal" but has been adopted as the term for the original people who have existed in Aotearoa/New Zealand, traveling back and forth throughout "Polynesia" and beyond over the centuries.
* The Maori language is one of the three official languages of New Zealand (the others being English and New Zealand Sign Language).
* The warclub the Maori Warrior uses (a nifo oti) is actually of Samoan design, not Maori.
