Unit Information Game Strategies History
In the Extended Edition, this unit/building is affected by a damage bug.

Royal Tercios are the Spanish unique Heavy Infantry of the Enlightenment Age that replaces the standard Fusiliers.

Overview[]

Compared to Fusiliers, Royal Tercios have an attack speed of 44 frames (compared to 32), but do +30% damage against units and buildings, plus an additional +80% damage against both Light and Heavy Cavalry, and +10% damage against Ranged Cavalry.

These changes make them devastating effective against enemy melee cavalry, even compared to the already-powerful Fusiliers which they replace. Against most other targets, Royal Tercios' higher damage but less frequent attacks will result in higher DPS against targets that have a non-trivial amount of armor, and comparable damage against targets that don't (compared to Fusiliers).

Trivia[]

  • Tercio ("third") is an infantry organization used by Habsburg Spain which consists up to 3,000 soldiers made up of pikemen, swordsmen, arquebusiers and musketeers.
