===== MA Ind - Cynocephalians =====
[[ind-ma#the vassals of magnificent ind | Back to MA Ind main page]]

Cynocephalians can be recruited from forts built in {{:misc:gui:cave.png?15&nolink}} caves, {{:misc:gui:highlands.png?15&nolink}} highlands, and some {{:misc:gui:mountain.png?15&nolink}} mountains. Among the vassals of Magnificent Ind, Cynos stand out for unlocking half of the nation's magic diversity as well as (arguably) providing the most useful troops. Cynocephalians have fantastic damage output due to the multiple attacks and their ability to go [[berserker | berserk]], but suffer from low protection and need protective buffs to reach their full potential. They are also expensive to keep around due to [[cause unrest | causing unrest]], adding to Ind's economic woes.

Cynos also share the following traits (which will be omitted from the tables below for brevity):
  * {{:abilities:pillager.png?15&nolink}} [[Pillager]]
  * {{:abilities:Darkvision.png?15&nolink}} [[Darkvision]] (50%)
  * {{:abilities:wasteland_survival.png?15&nolink}} [[Wasteland survival]]
  * {{:abilities:mountain_survival.png?15&nolink}} [[Mountain survival]]
  * {{:abilities:heretic.png?15&nolink}} [[Heretic]] (mages only)
  * {{:abilities:undisciplined.png?15&nolink}} [[Undisciplined]] (troops only)
  * {{:abilities:animal.png?15&nolink}} [[Animal]]

==== Troops ====
All Cynocephalian troops are undisciplined and cannot be told to hold at the start of combat. This can make them more difficult to buff with protection that they really need!
