The Fusiliers are the standard Heavy Infantry of the Enlightenment Age, avaliable to upgrade from Elite Pikemen and are trained at the Barracks.
Overview[]
After Elite Pikemen become Fusiliers, they gain +5 hit points, +1 attack strength and +1 line of sight. Their weapons also change into ranged weapons with a range of 6 tiles.
Fusiliers are strong against Cavalry but weak against Gunpowder Infantry. They represent a significant upgrade over the previous Elite Pikemen, because they are now ranged instead of melee and receive additional damage bonuses.
Unique units[]
- The Japanese train Gun Samurai instead of Fusiliers.
- The Spanish train Royal Tercios instead of Fusiliers.
