The Warrior is a unit available at the start of a game of Civilization: Call to Power.

Summary

The Warrior is one of the weakest military units but has excellent vision and is therefore a superb early explorer. Although skilled in hand-to-hand combat, he cannot effectively attack well-armed enemies. He does, however, provide cheap and usually adequate defense against most other ancient military units. His weapon is a wooden club.

After Bureaucracy is discovered, Diplomats cost no more and are faster explorers with the same vision, their only disadvantage being lack of attacking power.

Great Library entry

The origins of the early Warrior go back to before the Later Stone Age (Neo-Lithic period) In the Prehistoric times. Where it is theorized that the settling of disputes led to a highly ritualized form of warfare. Warfare continued for thousands of years, expanding in complexity and developing into an elaborate and organized system involving the sophisticated use of military strategy. Sun Tzu coined the Phrase "To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill."
