The Elite Royal Hwarang are the Korean Foot Archers of the Gunpowder Age. Like Archers, Elite Hwarang are effective against Heavy Infantry, but weak against Light Infantry and Heavy Cavalry. They also make excellent garrisons, increasing a building's garrison power more than other unit types. Elite Royal Hwarang have no regular counterpart - other nations would still have to train Medieval Age Crossbowmen, who do not upgrade in the Gunpowder Age. By upgrading from the Royal Hwarang, the unit receives another +20 hit points and +2 attack strength.
