Combat
Taurics open combat by firing a Deadeye Shot. If their enemies have weak ranged options, the centaurs continue to use their shortbows from a distance. Otherwise, they gallop into battle, attack with their horns and hooves, and gallop out again. They try to avoid ending their turn next to a foe. They retreat if half their number fall.
