Marine Riflemen are the American unique Modern Infantry of the Industrial Age that replaces the standard Riflemen.
Overview[]
Compared to Riflemen, Marine Riflemen have +9 hit points as well as the ability to automatically entrench themselves after they are idle for 5 seconds, which unlike the General's special ability, works in neutral and enemy territory. The Transport Freighter they are boarding also gains +70 hit points and +2 movement speed per Military research. Marine Riflemen also do +5% damage against Light Cavalry and Heavy Cavalry, although this is usually no longer relevant by the time they are available.
Trivia[]
- The Marine Riflemen are based on the World War I-era United States Marine Corps.
- The Marine Riflemen appears to be armed with M1903 Springfield rifles.
