Description[]

The Fire Oxen is a siege unit in Empires: Dawn of the Modern World. It can explode on command, throwing all nearby units into the air. This makes it very effective against grouped melee units.

Introduced to Korea by China, fire oxen were live animals fitted with explosives. Troops stampeded the unfortunate creatures toward enemy lines, where they exploded in spectacular fashion.[1]

Strengths[]

  • Good vs spear infantry, sword cavalry, and Citizens.

Weaknesses[]

  • Weak vs. gun units.
