Skull Knight In-Game[]
The skull knight is a slow moving, elite infantry unit with a lot of hitpoints and no range. It is very effective against cavalry, light infantry and buildings, making it similar to the doppelsonder. However, unlike the doppelsonder, the skull knight can only be spawned from the fire pit, and has no train time upgrades, making it a limited unit. Due to the limited nature of the skull knight, they have cards which make them better than the doppelsonder. Also, the Aztecs have the war dance to further improve their combat ability.
