'''New Spain''' is an unplayable minor nation in ''Empire: Total War'' and is a colony/protectorate of [[Spain (ETW Faction)|Spain]].

==Overview==
New Spain (Spanish: Virreinato de Nueva Espana) was a viceroyalty, or administrative unit of the Spanish colonial empire, comprising primarily territories in what was known then as 'America Septentrional' North America. The creation of a viceroyalty in the Americas was a result of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire (1519 to 1521). The lands and societies brought under Spanish control were of unprecedented complexity and wealth, which presented both an incredible opportunity and a threat to the Crown of Castile.

The new Bourbon kings did not split the Viceroyalty of New Spain into smaller administrative units as they did with the Viceroyalty of Peru. The first innovation, in 1776, was by José de Gálvez, the new Minister of the Indies (1775–1787), establishing the Commandancy General of the Provincias Internas known as the Provincias Internas (Commandancy General of the Internal Provinces of the North, (Spanish: Comandancia y Capitanía General de las Provincias Internas). He appointed Teodoro de Croix (nephew of the former viceroy) as the first Commander General of the Provinicas Internas, independent of the Viceroy of New Spain, to provide more autonomy for the frontier provinces. They included Nueva Vizcaya, Nuevo Santander, Sonora y Sinaloa, Las Californias, Coahuila y Tejas (Coahuila and Texas), and Nuevo México.

==Starting Position==
===Grand Campaign===
New Spain begins as the largest minor faction, with 6 provinces under its control. This makes it larger than even some of the major factions, such as [[Poland-Lithuania (ETW Faction)|Poland-Lithuania]] and the [[United Provinces (ETW Faction)|United Provinces]], and on par with [[Great Britain (ETW Faction)|Great Britain]] and [[Austria (ETW Faction)|Austria]]. Despite this, it begins considerably poorer than all of the above since all of these territories are relatively underdeveloped. Its capital region begins the game with barely 1300 region wealth and no province under its ownership exceeds 2000. Even so, New Spain has the potential to become an economic powerhouse relatively early, with an abundance of gold and gems in South America, as well as easy access to large amounts of lucrative trade resources such as spices, sugar, coffee and tobacco.

Like most minor factions, New Spain begins the game with only access to an Army Encampment and thus cannot recruit any effective troops until they have had the chance to upgrade to at least the Barracks level. However, with only raids from [[Pirates (ETW Faction)|Pirates]] and the technologically inferior armies of the weak [[Pueblo Nations (ETW Faction)|Pueblo Nations]] to contend with in the early game, there are very few immediate threats for a New Spain player to worry about.

While beginning the game as a protectorate of [[Spain (ETW Faction)|Spain]], rarely will their former overlord send forces to deal with their rebellious subject should they take up arms against the metropole and seek to secure their freedom.

Like most other colonial factions, New Spain can recruit the generic European unit roster alongside a few units that are otherwise unique to their mother country (in this case, the formidable Spanish [[Galleon (ETW Unit)|Galleon]]).

Portugal (ETW Faction)

ManicMayo: /* Trivia */

'''Portugal''' is an unplayable minor faction in ''Empire: Total War''.

==Overview==

Portugal, like Spain, was ultimately born out of the Reconquista. Carved out of the Umayyad Emirate of Córdoba by the Kingdom of Asturas in 868 as a vassal county, it would spend the next two and a half centuries under the rule of various kingdoms that ultimately had their power base in the Cantabrian Mountains. Count Afonso of Portugal secured its effective independence in 1139 when he was proclaimed as its first king following the Battle of Ourique, formally breaking away from the suzerainty of the Kingdom of León. In 1179, after several decades of ''de facto'' independence, the acknowledgement of the Afonso I as the King of Portugal by Pope Alexander III marked the effective beginning of an independent Portuguese Kingdom in the eyes of Christian Europe. Over the next few decades, successive Portuguese kings would embark on a near-constant campaign southwards to repel the Muslims. With the capture of the Algarve in 1249, the traditional borders of mainland Portugal were established and remain largely unchanged to this day.

Along with Spain, it was also one of the first European nations to engage in exploration and colonisation. Beginning in the 15th century when Portuguese explorers such as Vasco da Gama put to sea in search of a southerly passage to India to bypass the various Middle Eastern trade routes that had since been closed to Christian Europe by the Ottoman Empire. By the 16th century these sailors had helped build a huge colonial and trading empire that encompassed the expansive and resource-rich Brazil as well as large swathes of the African coast and trading exclaves throughout Asia. Portugal is considered to be the first nation to have established a truly global empire which, from the capture of the North African city of Ceuta in 1415 to the handover of Macau to the People's Republic of China in 1999, was also the longest lasting of the European colonial empires, spanning almost six centuries from beginning to end.

==Starting position==

===Setup===

Overall, Portugal plays rather similar to the [[United Provinces (ETW Faction)|United Provinces]] with most early to mid game efforts being directed towards securing trade spots and expanding mostly in the Americas and India. Unlike the United Provinces however, Portugal is surrounded on three sides by the fortified and relatively well-protected Spanish homeland and as such [[Spain (ETW Faction)|Spain]] poses a much greater threat, especially in the early game. Unlike its Spanish neighbour, Portugal is (inaccurately) a constitutional monarchy at the start of the game. It is also one of only two European nations that controls territory in the Indian theatre at the start of the Grand Campaign (the other being the United Provinces). In fact, it holds the distinction of being the only minor nation to hold a colony.

Portugal was once indisputably one of the major powers of Europe. However, following the disastrous Iberian Union and the rise of the English and French empires in America and the Dutch in Asia, these days have since come to an end. While still one of the more powerful nations of the period, Portugal at the start of the 18th century, at least in ''Empire: Total War'', is no longer considered one of the 'major nations'. Even so, Portugal remains rather unique as minor factions go, with an initial presence in multiple theatres and plenty of opportunities to thrive if handled correctly.

Portugal starts the game with 2 regions, both of which are relatively lucrative for a nation of its size. Its home region (Portugal, unsurprisingly) is certainly very wealthy for a minor faction. With two towns (a further two to emerge later) and a 5 slot city, it can become quite the powerhouse when fully developed. The region has a single port which can potentially limit the nation's trading and naval capabilities, leaving it very vulnerable should it be blockaded/raided without other sources of income. Similarly, without a second port to build a shipyard, it has no initial way of gaining access to ships of the line. It's second region is the small exclave of Goa in the Indian theatre. With a trading port and a small tea plantation, it provides a decent source of income at the start of the game. As well as these two moderately wealthy provinces, Portugal also starts with two small merchant fleets that are trading sugar and ivory in the Brazil and Ivory Coast trade theatres respectively.

The only ally of Portugal at the beginning of the game is [[Great Britain (ETW Faction)|Great Britain]], simulating the historic [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Portuguese_Alliance Anglo-Portuguese Alliance] - Beginning with the signing of the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1373 and still in effect to this day, it is the world's oldest extant alliance. Britain is also one of Portugal's two trading partners, the other being the [[Mughal Empire (ETW Faction)|Mughal Empire]]. With only a single trading port in its home region and all its trade slots already taken, Portugal's only other option for trade at the start of the game is with Spain with which it can do over land.

===Opening moves===

While their starting position may initially seem like a great strength, a foothold in both India and the sugar/ivory trade from the outset, it should really be seen as a significant weakness. With units and holdings spanning almost all regions and with very limited army and navy power, Portugal is greatly overextended and vulnerable to attack on all fronts. While the trade fleets bring in a sizeable portion of the Portuguese income, their small size leaves them vulnerable to attack from marauding pirate fleets from turn one. Similarly, the lack of any ability to fortify Goa leaves Portugal extremely vulnerable to war declarations from not just the [[Maratha Confederacy (ETW Faction)|Maratha Confederacy]] but also [[Mysore (ETW Faction)|Mysore]] which, despite its small size, can still seize Goa with ease due to the proximity of their main army to the province.

Both starting trade fleets should be withdrawn to Europe from their respective theatres immediately and merged. Unless playing on higher difficulties, this new combined fleet is seldom attacked by pirates and can be redeployed to once again start generating income. As a much rarer resource, it is advised to send the fleet to either the East Indies to collect spices or one of the two African theatres for the equally valuable Ivory. Brazil should be ignored for the moment since it only provides sugar. This is generally less valuable and can easily be acquired later in great quantities in provinces in the Americas through plantation buildings whereas Spices (unless you plan to expand mostly in India) and Ivory are much harder to obtain, at least in the early game.

As both the Maratha Confederacy and Mysore often declare war for Goa within the first few turns, the province should be considered lost from the start. One option is to give it to [[France (ETW Faction)|France]] who will accept a straight swap of Goa for the Windward Islands in the Caribbean, at least on normal difficulty. Whilst this province is slightly less valuable, it still produces a trade good (sugar), it's an island which leaves it far less vulnerable to attack, your Indian army is immediately teleported to Portugal and can be used to reinforce your home garrison and, perhaps most importantly, it provides a nice staging point to launch early invasions of the nearby pirate provinces. As trade will likely come to make up the vast amount of state income, especially in the early game, eradication of the [[Pirates (ETW Faction)|Pirates]] should be a top priority.

With only a single port in their home region and no others that emerge later on, Portugal, as a nation that relies primarily on trade income, can be extremely vulnerable to blockades. Without a strong navy or other forms of revenue generation, a healthy income of several thousand a turn can be crippled instantly by a single enemy sloop being allowed to sail into or blockade Porto. Similarly, without a second port, Portugal has no way to gain access to ships of the line without sacrificing trade income or acquiring more provinces. A relatively easy way to solve this problem quickly is to conquer the relatively defenceless [[Barbary States (ETW Faction)|Barbary States]], considering Portugal begins the game at war with them. Their provinces are neither very developed nor produce any trade goods, freeing up their port slots for shipyards without costing income. An easier and much less tedious option would be to start an early war with the [[Knights of St. John (ETW Faction)|Knights of St. John]] and capture the strategically important island fortress of Malta which already begins the game with a shipyard and, as a Catholic province, is less likely to suffer from problems with rebellion and the need for a garrison as the Muslim Barbary provinces of North Africa.

A word of caution though. While acquiring new territories to build your income is always nice and there are certainly several options nearby, remember to always be wary of Spain when expanding overseas. Should you always maintain a decent-sized army in Lisbon, AI Spain will often not risk attacking and leave you alone (at least until you've had the chance to build up a force large enough to repel their attacks). However, the AI almost always declares war the moment it senses weakness on your part. It is advised to leave at least a half-stack of line infantry or better in Portugal at all times if you wish to avoid Spanish aggression. Another think to take into consideration is that, likely because it is also part of their victory conditions, Spain seems to greatly dislike you taking [[Morocco (ETW Faction)|Morocco]] and will often declare war the next turn or very soon thereafter, even if you have a sizeable force on their borders. As such, this can often be a good way to 'bait' them into declaring war on you. As the aggressor, Spain's allies will more than likely refuse the call to arms and leave fewer enemies (such as France) for you to deal with.

Portugal (along with Spain, [[New Spain (ETW Faction)|New Spain]] and [[Mexico (ETW Faction)|Mexico]]) has access to the powerful [[Galleon (ETW Unit)|galleon]] unit, a trade ship with stats comparable to that of a [[Fourth Rate Ship of the Line (ETW Unit)|Fourth Rate]]. However, unlike Fourth Rates, their upkeep is considerably lower and they are functionally identical to [[Indiaman (ETW Unit)|Indiamen]] when sat on a trade node. This can give the Portuguese a unique early game trade advantage over other factions, especially before the pirates have been eradicated, as they are in a much better position to safely secure trade spots quickly. Amazingly, unlike Fourth Rates and other ships of equivalent stats, galleons can be built over 3 turns straight from the base level trading port and can thus feasibly be used as a substitute for proper warships in the early game before you have acquired your first shipyard. Trade fleets should not be comprised only of galleons however as their significantly higher upkeep make them much less efficient than Indiamen in generating wealth.

Portugal starts with a weak army and must first upgrade the army encampment in Lisbon into a barracks before being able to recruit better units such as line infantry. Similarly, investing in upgrading the government building slot in Lisbon will open up more recruitment slots to enable faster creation of armies. While Portugal is surrounded entirely by Spain, It does not begin the game at war with them and ofttimes will even accept trade. With careful diplomacy and patience (through the ticking trade relations boost), it is even possible to secure an alliance with them later on should you seek to secure the metropole without having to take on Spain.

===AI Portugal===

The in-game AI tends to have Spain annex Portugal very early in the game, leaving Goa to be taken by the Maratha Confederacy or Mysore. However, with a relatively powerful home region and a tendency to strengthen their presence in the various trade theatres, Portugal can become quite powerful if left alone. They may soon develop into a powerful minor nation, and are likely to cause trouble for Spain sooner or later.

Since it is often attacked by Spain relatively quickly, a Britain player must often make the difficult choice of either abandoning its ally, or declaring an early war on the powerful Spanish Empire.

==Units==
Portugal can train the standard European infantry, cavalry and artillary unit roster.

===Special Units===
Portugal shares most of Spain's unique units, such as Frontiersmen, Irish Brigades, Cazadores and Galleons. Portugal also has a special unit that can only be trained by them from the start of the game, Miquelets. This makes Portugal, along with Scotland (who can recruit Clansmen) and Norway (who can recruit Mountain Troops), one of the only minor factions with unique special units.

==Trivia==
* Despite being unplayable, Portugal has uniquely-voiced units. This would seem to imply that, at some point during the game's development, Portugal was going to be a playable faction.[[File:Portugal flag historical.png|thumb|150px|right|Historical flag of Portugal during the first half of the 18th century]]
* Portugal is one of only two minor factions to begin the game with territory in more than one theatre, the other being [[Persia (ETW Faction)|Persia]].
* It is the only minor faction with a colony (Goa) and the only European faction to start with territory on the Indian mainland.
* Portugal in ''Empire: Total War'' is considered a constitutional monarchy when historically the nation was an absolute monarchy up until 1820.
* The flag used by Portugal in-game was historically used more than a century after the game's start date, between 1816-1830, primarily during the brief period when it was in an equal union with Brazil as the '''United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves'''. Of the two flags historically used by Portugal during the 1700s, neither featured an armillary sphere and the shield was generally depicted in the more popular [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ad/Modern_French_shield.svg 'Modern French' shape] instead of the more traditional [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/Coa_Illustration_Shield_Round_base.svg 'Iberian' shape].

Inuit Nations (ETW Faction)

{{Faction|image=[[File:InuitNations_FlagETW.png|250px]]|Name=Inuit Nations|Game=[[Empire: Total War]]|Religion=[[Animist (ETW Religion|Animist]]|Culture=Native American}}
The '''Inuit Nations''' is an unplayable minor faction in ''Empire: Total War''.

==Starting Position==

The Inuit Nations are located in the very top-east corner of the Americas, in fairly unproductive land. Therefore, there is not much incentive to go after them so long as more lucrative or strategically important targets are present. Their starting province does produce fur, a lucrative trading resource, however the province has neither a port of its own or access to a neighbouring one to export it to your trading partners, denying access to even this small source of income. With a very sparse population and no agricultural production to reduce the risk of food shortages, it will likely take a long time for the only port in the region to emerge.

The Inuit Nations tend to declare war on whoever owns Acadia or Newfoundland (the French, in the beginning).

They have access to the generic Native American unit roster.

Virginia Colonists (ETW Faction)

ManicMayo: Re-wrote most of article

{{Faction|image=[[File:VirginiaColonists_FlagETW.png‎‎‎|250px]]|Name=Virginia Colonists|Game=[[Empire: Total War]]|Religion=[[Protestant]]|Culture=European}}

The '''Virginia Colonists''' is a tutorial faction in Empire: Total War.

The Virginia Colonists are a group of English settlers, intent on establishing a thriving colonial territory on the eastern coast of North America in what is now the US state of Virginia. The faction uses the flag of England, as the colony was historically established by the Kingdom of England long before it joined with the Kingdom of Scotland in the 1707 Act of Union to form [[Great Britain (ETW Faction)|Great Britain]].

==Overview==

In the Road to Independence campaign, the Virginia Colonists are found in the first episode. The player is made to attack [[Powahatan Confederacy (ETW Faction)|Native Americans]], and build a community, which needs farms, fisheries, and things of that sort.

ManicMayo: /* Overview */

{{Faction|image=[[File:SchleswigHolstein_FlagETW.png|250px]]|Name=Schleswig-Holstein|Game=[[Empire: Total War]]|Religion=[[Protestant]]|Culture=European}}
'''Schleswig-Holstein''' is a cancelled minor faction in ''Empire: Total War''.

==Overview==
Schleswig-Holstein would have most likely been a minor protestant German faction and probable protectorate of [[Denmark (ETW Faction)|Denmark]] or rebel faction that emerged from a Danish-controlled region, similar to [[Norway (ETW Faction)|Norway]], bordering [[Hannover (ETW Faction)|Hannover]] and occupying the southern Jutland peninsula. Not only was the faction removed from the game, but the region it would have either owned from the start or appeared later in was also seemingly removed and is instead simply a part of the region of Denmark.

While it can never be confirmed, the original intention of another region and faction occupying what is now the southern portion of the region of Denmark would explain why said region has an unusually high number of ports (three) when compared to others of its size and wealth.

Like all cancelled factions, while it can never be played in the grand campaign without making significant modifications to the game, it can be unlocked relatively easily for usage in custom battles.

Pikemen (ETW Unit)

[[Image:Pikemen_thumb.png]] Pikemen carry long spears of a type that would have been familiar to the soldiers of Alexander the Great.

==Overview==

Despite the fact that firepower is the key to battle, “trailing a pike” into battle is more gentlemanly than carrying a gun. Pike-men are shock troops, relying on mass and impact in melee. Pikes are not without their uses: a solid wall of spear points is a formidable barrier to any cavalry attack. Pike-men still march into battle because not every European nation can afford (or find) enough guns for everyone. Sending men into battle with an obsolescent weapon is better than sending them forward with nothing at all.

By 1700, most European generals realized that the pike and pike-men were hopelessly outdated and outclassed on a modern battlefield. Pike-men had been a vital part of all infantry formations, protecting musketeers from cavalry and being the “shock” element in melee combat. There was a fatal problem for pike-men: a musket could kill at a distance, and once a decent bayonet was developed, pikes really did lose their point!

Although a brilliant general in every (other?) respect, Maurice de Saxe, the great Marshal General of France, remained an advocate of the pike even in the 1740s. By then, it was obvious that pikes were useless against massed musket-armed infantry.

==Deatails==

Pikemen are available to every European faction and are present in nearly every European army at the beginning of the game. Pikemen are the only infantry that can utilize the pike wall and pike square formation, in which they level their pikes to devastating effect against charging cavalry. They are seriously limited by their inability to use firearms and their rather poor melee stats against infantry. Pikemen also cannot scale walls or enter buildings, further limiting their use in sieges and defensive battles. Early on, Pikemen do have their uses as supplemental melee infantry should regular line infantry and militia require assistance.

[[Image:Pandours_thumb.png]] These irregular troops are often poorly equipped and ill-disciplined, but they can be a very effective, mobile “mob”.

==Game Description==

Such men have little to do with standard military protocols and practice, or even organization, often taking up arms in extraordinary circumstances. This lack of discipline means that they can sometimes be extremely brutal, even brutish, in their behavior. This can work in their favor, in that it gives enemies pause for thought. More typically, their lack of discipline counts against them, and faced with a well-ordered force they can be at a disadvantage. In such a case, their mobility can be a boon, allowing them to harass an enemy and withdraw as soon as the fight goes against them.

==Details==

In some ways, Pandours are a very poor, early substitute for light infantry. While they do possess slightly greater range than [[Line Infantry (ETW Unit)|Line Infantry]], Pandours have terrible accuracy and can provide only ineffectual firepower at best. They should be used to harass the enemy lines at a distance and combat any other skirmishers. However due to their low melee capabilities the should not be relied upon in any melee situations.

[[Image:Native warrior auxiliary thumbnail.png]]These tribal warriors are willing to fight for foreign powers, as it gives them a chance at glory and fame.

==Overview==
No true warrior willingly runs from a fight. A man’s worth in tribal society is often measured by his skill as a warrior and war leader. Fighting for the Europeans gives a man many chances to go into battle, earn honour and gain in skill and reputation. The chance to fight traditional tribal enemies is also welcome.

Historically, European settlers had few qualms about exploiting the warlike nature of some native peoples of the New World. It was far better to have a “noble savage” at your side than facing you in battle.

==Details==

Native Warrior Auxiliary are decent melee infantry only recruitable in the Americas. They are good against most enemies but can not stand up to the some of the elite infantry units of the west. The user should use them to flank enemy infantry in the same way as cavalry. As light infantry has the skirmish ability, the user could use them as reserves so any incoming cavalry will instead either charge into the the native warrior auxiliary or be deterred and retreat.

[[Image:Native_musketmen_auxiliary_thumb.png]] These tribesmen are willing to fight for European gold, and a musket apiece.

==Overview==

A musket is a status symbol among the tribes, even though it is not as useful in a fight as an old-fashioned and reliable bow. It is, however, a mark of personal bravery that a warrior has taken one in battle, or been considered worthy enough to have been given one of the precious weapons. These men are the most irregular of forces, unwilling to take formal army discipline, yet willing to fight like men possessed when the need arises.

In the early days of European settlement, the Native Americans were happy to work with the various foreign powers that colonized America, even forming alliances against their neighbours and other Europeans. The tribes soon became involved in trade, fought wars because of the allegiances they forged, and were forced into new alliances as old tribal enemies took up with Europeans.

==Details==

Native Musketmen Auxiliary are an Irregular unit recruitable only in the Americas. As with all Skirmishers they should be used to harass the enemy and cause disruptions in the enemy lines. Due to the fact that they can hide in most surroundings, they are perfect for setting up ambushes for unsuspecting enemy infantry. However due to their numbers they should not be expected to outgun a [[Line Infantry (ETW Unit)|Line Infantry]] unit. Furthermore as with all skirmishers they should avoid melee at all costs, especially with cavalry.

[[Image:Native american bowmen thumbnail.png]]These tribal warriors are willing to fight for foreign powers, but at a price.

==Overview==
The bow is a practical tool: it puts food in bellies as well as killing enemies. A skilled bowman can stalk his prey (man or beast) in utter silence, before killing with a well-aimed shot of a broad-headed arrow, designed to cause massive bleeding. In the time it takes to fire and reload a musket, a good bowman can fire half a dozen aimed shots, and probably have moved to better ground while doing so.

In the early days of their contact with the various foreign powers that colonized America, the tribes were glad to co-operate with them, and formed alliances with the French, British and Dutch. The tribes soon became involved in trade, and often ended up fighting proxy wars on behalf of their allies.

==Details==

Native Bowmen Auxiliary should be used in game as a variation of light infantry. They should be used to harass and skirmish the enemy, whilst staying out of range of superior troops such as normal line infantry. They have superior range to line infantry meaning they are ideal for skirmishing. One may scoff at the idea of using bows when muskets and rifles are available but you should never underestimate the power of the bow. Native Bowman Auxiliary are only recruitable in the Americas though, thus making them near useless outside the American theatre.

[[Image:Native_american_musketeer_icon.png‎]]These tribesmen are willing to fight for European gold, and a musket apiece.
==Overview==

A musket is a status symbol among the tribes, even though it is not as useful in a fight as an old-fashioned and reliable bow. It is, however, a mark of personal bravery that a warrior has taken one in battle, or been considered worthy enough to have been given one of the precious weapons.

The tribes soon became involved in trade, fought wars because of the allegiances they forged, and were forced into new alliances as old tribal enemies took up with Europeans.
==Details==
The Native American missile cavalry of choice for Colonial powers, they are slightly superior to Mounted Tribal Gunners although they are more expensive. They may not compare very favourably to Dragoons in a straight up fight yet in their home territory they can fare better. They are rarely worth the time to recruit them though, European ranged cavalry provided much greater firepower and are not as helpless in melee.

[[Image:Euro_militia_infantry_icon.png‎]]These musket-armed troops are recruited to defend their own locality, not carry the war to an enemy’s land.

==Overview==

Militia or provincial troops are commonly held to be inferior to regular soldiers and, although they are trained to use the same tactics as marching regiments of the line, there is some truth in this assertion. Militia are expected to act as reassuring presence, and sometimes as a police force in suppressing local disturbances.

Historically, it was not unusual for militia to be locals recruited as part-time soldiers while retaining their day jobs and trades. In Britain, for example, service in the militia was seen as a good idea: you not only looked very patriotic for volunteering, but you could not be sent overseas! For ambitious would-be officers, there was a hidden financial benefit to joining the militia. A commander who could persuade his men to transfer to the army with him would not have to pay the cost of his regular commission.

==Unit Details==

Militia are cheap infantry available to most Western nations, with a few exceptions: Russia fields Cossack Infantry in their place, while the United States have Minutemen. The Eastern nations have assorted rabble that all qualify as militia equivalents.

Militia, and their equivalents, are useful in the early game as cheaper alternatives to line infantry (despite their inferior statistics). They become less effective, however, when more and more nations field regular line infantry in their armies. Militia also do not benefit from the Fire by Rank technology, effectively meaning they have only a third of the firepower of line infantry when this technology is researched; in addition, they cannot utilize the Square Formation, making them vulnerable to cavalry. However, militia remain useful in the late game for putting down rebellions and keeping the peace: although they do not receive bonuses to repression like dragoons, they are very cheap to field and have low upkeep costs, making them ideal for garrisons.

Like some other units such as artillery and light infantry, militia gain the option to pre-deploy some defensive measures on a battlefield should they remain in the place on the campaign map for more than two turns: defensive barriers behind which militia can shoot and crouch. This grants militia much more resistance against enemy musket fire, and somewhat slows and weakens charges. Militia also have access to anti-cavalry wooden barricades.

Militia or provincial troops are commonly held to be inferior to regular soldiers and, although they are trained to use the same tactics as marching regiments of the line, there is some truth in this assertion. Militia are expected to act as reassuring presence, and sometimes as a police force in suppressing local disturbances.

Historically, it was not unusual for militia to be locals recruited as part-time soldiers while retaining their day jobs and trades. In Britain, for example, service in the militia was seen as a good idea: you not only looked very patriotic for volunteering, but you could not be sent overseas! For ambitious would-be officers, there was a hidden financial benefit to joining the militia. A commander who could persuade his men to transfer to the army with him would not have to pay the cost of his regular commission.

==Unit Details==

Militia are cheap infantry available to most Western nations, with a few exceptions: Russia fields Cossack Infantry in their place, while the United States have Minutemen. The Eastern nations have assorted rabble that all qualify as militia equivalents.

Militia, and their equivalents, are useful in the early game as cheaper alternatives to line infantry (despite their inferior statistics). They become less effective, however, when more and more nations field regular line infantry in their armies. Militia also do not benefit from the Fire by Rank technology, effectively meaning they have only a third of the firepower of line infantry when this technology is researched; in addition, they cannot utilize the Square Formation, making them vulnerable to cavalry. However, militia remain useful in the late game for putting down rebellions and keeping the peace: although they do not receive bonuses to repression like dragoons, they are very cheap to field and have low upkeep costs, making them ideal for garrisons.

Like some other units such as artillery and light infantry, militia gain the option to pre-deploy some defensive measures on a battlefield should they remain in the place on the campaign map for more than two turns: defensive barriers behind which militia can shoot and crouch. This grants militia much more resistance against enemy musket fire, and somewhat slows and weakens charges. Militia also have access to anti-cavalry wooden barricades.

[[Image:Euro_african_infantry_thumb.png]] These runaway slaves must fight to keep their freedom and their lives; they are brave, but untrained in European tactics.

==Overview==

Unless these people do fight, and fight hard, they face little mercy at the hands of their former owners. Their tactics are those of partisan underdogs the world over: strike from an unexpected direction, retreat in the face of a prepared enemy, and show or expect no mercy.

Historically, the word “maroon” is taken from the Spanish term for a Moor, a man of (North) African origin. The various colonising powers tried, with mixed success, to eliminate the maroons; the British even went so far as to sign a treaty with the maroons on Jamaica that guaranteed them land, as long as they captured and returned any new runaways. To modern eyes, there is a massive amount of hypocrisy on both sides to be found in this arrangement.

Some nations still have culturally-distinct Maroon populations, speaking their own creole languages (mixtures of existing languages to create something more than just a local dialect) and not having much contact with outsiders. Modern patterns of urbanisation are slowly dissolving these groups into the general population of each country.

==Details==

Maroon Rebel Insurgents are a cancelled unit recruitable only in the West Indies. They armed with spears and are apt at guerrilla tactics in order to defeat their foe. They should be used to engage unsuspecting line infantry and will succeed if supported. However they should not charge head on into a line of prepared infantry as this will likely end in disaster.

[[Image:12_lber_foot.png]] Foot artillery batteries are the core or an army on campaign: the weapons that win battles and batter down walls.

==Overview==

Despite the name, foot artillery batteries are towed by horses, not men. The artillerymen march alongside their pieces. All guns are smooth-bore, and rated by the size or weight of solid projectile that they fire: a 12-pounder is so called because it hurls a cannonball weighing 12 pounds towards the enemy! It may not do so very accurately, as the casting of barrels and balls means that there is inevitably a gap (wind-age) between a shot and the barrel sides. This means that a cannonball rattles down the barrel when fired, leading to an inherent inaccuracy. As technology advances, other types of ammunition can be fired.
Historically, there was limited standardization between guns, even in the same battery. Parts from one gun would not always fit a sister piece. A gunner would know the quirks of his own weapon intimately. Cunningly, the French attempted to develop a system of interchangeable components for all their guns and field equipment. Jean Baptiste Vaquette de Gribeauval (1715-1789), the inspector of artillery, tried but he wasn’t entirely successful. Even after he had finished there were still more than 20 different types of wheel in use!

==Details==

Marine 12-lber Artillery Independent Company are a cancelled artillery unit. They are capable of unleashing devastating payloads upon the enemy lines and can field canister shot, which can be extremely deadly at close range. However as the game progresses they will eventually be outclassed by howitzers and other, heavier forms of artillery. Despite the Marine 12-lber Artillery Independent Company will still be able to hold its own in the early to mid stages of the game.

[[Image:Euro_line_infantry_icon.png‎]]These musket-armed troops use massed volleys to break an enemy, relying on discipline to withstand any counter fire.

==Overview==

“Marching regiments” or “line battalions” make up the majority of units in European-style armies. They are so called because they form the line of battle, not because they always deploy in lines. Indeed, over time the capabilities of line infantry should improve as new tactics, drill and weaponry are developed.

These soldiers carry muzzle-loading, smooth-bore muskets firing lead balls as wide as a man’s thumb. These are inaccurate weapons, effective only over 200 paces or so and when fired in massed volleys. The ability to fire and reload with machine-like regularity with shot and bullet flying and comrades falling all around is what wins battles.

Historically, in many armies colonels received a fee to raise regiments, which remained their personal property and commands. They jealously guarded their rights to appoint friends, relatives and hangers-on as regimental officers. This contractor system, however, allowed unscrupulous officers to make handsome profits by pocketing the pay of non-existent soldiers. The better colonels did take a pride in their regiments, spending their own fortunes on good uniforms and weapons. The capabilities of a “standard” line infantry unit therefore varied between nations and over time. It wasn’t until the 1760s that anything approaching uniformity of drill, equipment and regulations became the norm.

Line infantry regiments remained unchanged throughout the period, and their organizational pattern still forms the basis of modern military units.

==Details==

Line infantry form the heart of any army in Empire: Total War. In a head-on fight, a line infantry will be able to beat almost any non-line infantry regiment (with the exception of a well-angled and timed salvo of canister shot fired from an artillery piece). Line infantry hold the advantages of superior numbers (and therefore superior firepower when Fire by Rank is researched), morale and defensive capabilities.

Line infantry have several technology upgrades available to them. Plug Bayonets increase their melee capabilities, but require the infantry to equip them manually and force them to remain in melee mode until after the battle; Ring Bayonets are permanently and automatically attached, and still allow the infantry to fire, but reduce their firing rate; Socket Bayonets neither sacrifice shooting abilities nor speed while providing the line infantry with good melee capabilities. Bayonet technologies aside, line infantry benefit enormously from the Fire By Rank, which enables all ranks of the infantry to fire one by one as opposed to just the first rank. Fire and Advance gives line infantry the ability to close in on enemies while simultaneously delivering fire to against them. Finally, Square Formation allows line infantry to form a square, reducing their firepower and mobility but giving them a powerful defensive bonus against cavalry.

Every nation in the game has slightly different line infantry. The British, for example, have some of the finest line infantry in the game, while Prussia's line infantry are almost as good and very inexpensive to field. On the other hand of the spectrum, Russia and Austria have notoriously poor line infantry in terms of discipline. The Ottoman equivalents of line infantry are the Isarelys and the Nizam-I Cedit infantry, while the Maratha Confederacy have Bargir Infantry and Sikh Musketeers.

Line infantry are at their best when their flanks are guarded with yet more line infantry. Large numbers of regiments lined up and facing parallel to the enemy is usually the focal point of the battle, with both sides shooting at each other until one side breaks and runs. In cases like this, the center of the line is especially important: if it breaks, then morale is reduced for the units surrounding it. Therefore, the center should be comprised of the better line infantry regiments. On the other hand, the enemy center should be considered the primary target for artillery, grenades, etc.

The flanks are important, too. They are susceptible to cavalry charges. To prevent this, attach cavalry, stakes, or square formation to the sides of the line of battle.

Before Fire by Rank is researched, only the first rank of line infantry fire their muskets. Stretching out their lines as thin as can be sensibly done so will maximize their firing volume before this technology is researched. This tactic also has the advantage of enveloping enemy positions in overlapping fields of fire. However, thinner lines are more susceptible to breaking from cavalry charges.

[[Image:Armed_citizenry_europe_icon_infm.png]] Arming the people is something that leaders find detestable and frightening, necessary perhaps, but certainly unwelcome.

==Overview==

Armed citizenry are a mob, given whatever guns are to hand, with brief training that the muzzle end is to be pointed towards the foe. Weapons do not make soldiers, and arming the people is an act of desperation. On the battlefield, the citizenry are unlikely to do much to damage an enemy, but the size of the mob can at least cause the foe problems. This can give real soldiers enough time to win the battle, or make the enemy pay heavily for their victory.

Historically, arming the people was something that really scared the authorities in every nation, particularly if the population hated the existing regime. It was not wise to supply an angry population with weapons, when these might be turned on the rulers, rather than foreigners. When Austria decided to create landwehr or militia forces, it was careful to exclude many regions from the decision as the loyalty of Austria’s many different ethnic groups could not always be guaranteed.

==Details==

Firelock Armed Citizenry are free mobs provided to the defender of a region capital while attempting to repel invaders. Their number is dependent on the public order, the wealth of the region, and the regions themselves (for example, France is capable of producing a full stack of 20 armed citizenry, while Serbia would be lucky to get four). Firelock Armed Citizenry are notoriously poor at shooting, possess very limited ammo, and are even worse in a melee, but they are certainly better than nothing and completely expendable in the sense that they have no upkeep or training cost whatsoever.

The amount of armed citizenry available also depends on the number of regiments already in the region capital. If a region capital is capable of supplying five mobs of armed citizenry, but the army deployed there already has 19 regiments, then only one mob will be provided; the cap of twenty regiments per army still applies.

[[Image:Light_Infantry_thumb.png‎]] Light Infantry are Skirmishers who harass the enemy while screening the main body of the army.

==Overview==

Initiative, aggression and pace of action mark these men out and they consider themselves a cut above other infantry, regardless of the title that they use. Light infantry, jaegers or chasseurs do not mindlessly follow orders, but pick and choose their own ground and targets, using such cover as they can find. They carry standard smoothbore, muzzle-loading muskets, but they do not rely on massed volley fire: they deliberately aim (as well as they can, given that muskets lack sights), at individuals within the enemy ranks. This selective fire can disrupt enemy formations or drive off enemy skirmishers. Over time, developments in tactics and weapons will make them very effective as snipers as well as covering forces.

In 1700, many European nations did not recruit light infantry regiments. Each line infantry regiment had a light company, but the mass volley was the proper way to employ firepower. As irregular light troops proved their worth and tribal natives refused to co-operate by fighting formal, set piece battles, it was realised that collecting together light companies in ad hoc regiments was no longer enough. Direct recruitment of light infantry regiments began in earnest, and by the end of the 18th Century every army fielded fast, light regiments.

==Details==

Light Infantry are skirmishers, screening the rest of the army from harassment. Light Infantry have a slightly greater range than [[Line Infantry (ETW Unit)| Line Infantry]]. They become invisible to the enemy when immobile and at a sufficient distance, or when in tall grass or woods. They also all fire at once, giving them a firepower advantage against Line Infantry regiments before the Fire by Rank technology is researched. Their Light Infantry Behavior option makes them spread out and crouch, making them less susceptible to fire while allowing them to stand in front of other Infantry and fire without worrying about friendly fire. Although they have less range than their late-game [[Riflemen (ETW Unit)| Riflemen]] counterparts, Light Infantry reload far more quickly as they use muskets instead of rifles, allowing them to remain competitive.

Light infantry also have the option to deploy stakes. This gives them some measure of protection against cavalry or used prior to cavalry confrontations to protect the flanks of an army.

Light Infantry have their weaknesses. They have half the numbers of regular Line Infantry (which means that they can only deliver half the effective firepower in later stages), much lower morale, and next to no melee capability. Therefore, Light Infantry should avoid in a melee engagement at all costs, and direct firefights with line infantry if possible. Light infantry also run out of ammunition quite quickly.

Light Galley (ETW Unit)

}}
[[Image:Galley_lanteen.png‎ ]]Light galleys have sails and oars, and light cannons mounted on platforms above the rowers’ benches.
==Overview==

In restricted waters galleys are useful craft, although in any kind of heavy sea they can be dangerous to manage: it would be a brave or foolish captain who risked his galley in the North Sea or Atlantic. Although they do not carry as many guns as a modern sailing vessel, the ability to move independently of the wind is very useful.

The fighting crew of a galley is a relatively small part of the full crew, because the rowers are often convicts or pressed men and aboard only as strong backs, not as stout hearts. Indeed, in some navies the rowers are often more of a threat to the crew than the enemy! The number of men carried also limits the strategic range of a galley: they simply cannot carry enough food and water to sustain the crew for longer than a few days.

Historically, galleys did good service in sheltered waters like the Mediterranean and the Baltic, and the Ottomans, Russians and Swedes all used them in anger. They were also favoured by the Barbary Coast pirates, who could be guaranteed a good supply of slave rowers from captured European merchantmen.

== Details ==

Light galleys are, if possible, even lighter variations of galleys. They are handy sailing vessels in calm waters, although anything more than choppy water tends to immobilize them completely. Galleys and light galleys are deceptively dangerous, sinking much larger vessels with surprising ease due to their propensity to fire cannons very low, allowing them to puncture hulls more effectively.

Alone, Light Galley's are relatively useless, especially if confronted by much larger vessels. However, their high maneuverability, speed, and low profile allow them an advantage. When used alongside of stronger vessels, galleys serve as a distraction and annoyance to the enemy fleet.

[[Image:Euro_light_dragoons.png]] Light dragoons are mounted skirmishers, riding to a fight then engaging the enemy on foot.

==Overview==

Their horses are for mobility, not for any shock value in battle and are often little better than nags and ponies, rather than decent warhorses. In battle, this is unimportant as light dragoons dismount and form a skirmish line to harass an enemy and screen the main body of their own army.
The main weapon carried is a shortened musket, originally termed a “dragon” or dragoon (like “rifle”, the term came to be applied to the man carrying the gun). This is not an accurate weapon, but is no worse than any other smooth-bore.
Light dragoons are also useful in suppressing riotous and rebellious civilians. Their horses give them strategic mobility, allowing them to police large areas effectively and come to the aid of the local authorities.
Historically, dragoons lost their role as mounted infantry over the course of the 18th Century, and became another kind of light cavalry, although they retained the name. The officers and men welcomed the change to a role that had a higher social status (and usually better

==Details==

Light Dragoons are ranged cavalry. They may engage effectively in both firefights and melee, although they are not as strong as specialized units in either area. Dragoons have excellent stamina, allowing them to escape from or reach situations not possible for other units. Dragoons have the options to skirmish, where they will attempt to harass the enemy while staying out of range, and dismount. Dismounting dragoons reduces their speed and melee capabilities, but improves their resistance to enemy fire, as well as improving their ability to deal damage with their muskets. Versatile in their uses, dragoons can be used to add firepower support to a point on the battlefield quickly and are equally useful in the conventional cavalry roles of breaking enemy morale and chasing down routing troops.

Dragoons do hold the disadvantage of having relatively poor morale. Most notably, they suffer very high penalties for withdrawing from combat. It is not uncommon for a dragoon retreat to turn into a rout despite minimal casualties.

[[Image:Tatars cav icon.png]]These light cavalrymen are superb horsemen, expert in skirmishing and harassing an enemy.
==Overview==

There is a long tradition on the steppes of fighting from horseback. Children are put in the saddle before they can walk, and this makes them almost part of the horse. In previous centuries, accurately firing a bow while riding at speed requires a man who has exceptional ability with both the weapon and a horse. Steppe warriors can control their horses using their knees, and without the need to hold the reins they can use weapons easily and well. Their tactics have always involved galloping up to a slower enemy, delivering a devastating volley, and then riding away again. This way of warfare has survived in the era of pistols and muskets, although most steppe warriors carry numerous weapons (if they can) to avoid reloading in the heat of battle.

Historically, all the eastern nations had an ambiguous relationship with the steppe peoples. They both feared them and wanted their services. This allowed the more cunning steppe tribes to keep a measure of autonomy when other natives were being ruthlessly crushed.

==Details==
Kalmuks are a unit from a previous age that are increasingly outclassed. Their nature as bow wielders gives them more disadvantages than advantages; they have a tremendous range comparable to line infantry meaning they can fire with impunity. However this is not a great as an advantage as it may seem, they have terrible accuracy and reload rate. Along with all that they have morale comparable to the lowliest of militia. This means they are best used in a harassment role on your flanks to deter enemy cavalry, do not attempt to engage enemy infantry in hand to hand combat, It will not end well.

[[Image:Euro_line_infantry_icon.png‎]]These musket-armed troops use massed volleys to break an enemy, relying on discipline to withstand any counter fire.

==Overview==

“Marching regiments” or “line battalions” make up the majority of units in European-style armies. They are so called because they form the line of battle, not because they always deploy in lines. Indeed, over time the capabilities of line infantry should improve as new tactics, drill and weaponry are developed.

These soldiers carry muzzle-loading, smooth-bore muskets firing lead balls as wide as a man’s thumb. These are inaccurate weapons, effective only over 200 paces or so and when fired in massed volleys. The ability to fire and reload with machine-like regularity with shot and bullet flying and comrades falling all around is what wins battles.

Historically, in many armies colonels received a fee to raise regiments, which remained their personal property and commands. They jealously guarded their rights to appoint friends, relatives and hangers-on as regimental officers. This contractor system, however, allowed unscrupulous officers to make handsome profits by pocketing the pay of non-existent soldiers. The better colonels did take a pride in their regiments, spending their own fortunes on good uniforms and weapons. The capabilities of a “standard” line infantry unit therefore varied between nations and over time. It wasn’t until the 1760s that anything approaching uniformity of drill, equipment and regulations became the norm.

Line infantry regiments remained unchanged throughout the period, and their organizational pattern still forms the basis of modern military units.

==Details==

Invalid Garrison Regiment are a cancelled line infantry unit available only in Europe. They are cheaper than regular line infantry units, and so make great substitutes early on in the game. They should be used as all line infantry, which is to form the backbone of the army. They should combat other line infantry units and be the main force of an attack or defence.

Indiaman (ETW Unit)

[[Image:Indiaman_icon.png]]The Indiaman is an armed merchant ship, strongly built for the trade routes between Europe and the East. It is not a warship, but can defend itself in need.
==Overview==

The Indiaman is a three-masted, square-rigged sailing ship of some 1000 tons displacement. Although work for the relatively small crew is hard, there are compensations: they can trade goods in their own right, and make excellent profits by doing so.

Unusually for a merchant ship, an Indiaman carries cargo, passengers, and a good number of guns. Intended to sail from Europe to the other side of the world and back carrying valuable – sometimes priceless – cargoes, these ships have to be able to defend themselves. The passengers expect some creature comforts, being both officers of the owning trade companies and assorted “gentlemen” seeking their fortunes in foreign parts.

Historically, East Indiamen resembled ships of the line, both in their general configuration and paintwork. At the Battle of Pulo Aura (1804), the ambiguous appearance and aggressive handling of a squadron of British Indiamen completely humbugged the French admiral, Charles-Alexandre Linois. He withdrew in the face of “superior” forces. Commodore Nathaniel Dance, of the British Company fleet, received a knighthood and a handsome reward for his cunning.

National navies purchased Indiamen and converted them into troopships or warships.

== Details ==

Indiamen are capable of protecting themselves against smaller vessels. However, against larger vessels, Indiamen are at a severe disadvantage. They hold a slight speed bonus against larger ships, but their small armament makes it difficult for them to effectively offer a good fight. They are best suited to supporting other, larger units, which offer protection to the Indiamen.

[[Image:Euro_hussars.png‎]] Hussars are light cavalry, used as skirmishers and for scouting ahead of an army.

==Overview==

These superb horsemen are a force that can be used as a screen by the main army, or for strategic scouting to locate the enemy. They are armed with curved sabers and smooth-bore carbine muskets. Their gaudy, almost popinjay uniforms should not lead enemies to underestimate them as mere dandies – these are trained, disciplined and dangerous soldiers.

Hussars have a certain swashbuckling attitude towards the business of warfare, and the bandit origins of the Hungarian “huszárok” are certainly evident. Even non-Hungarian hussars cultivate a slightly barbarous air, and little private or enemy property is safe when they are around! Oddly, they are also unusually democratic, and troopers expect to be consulted by their officers before attacking the enemy, again probably a legacy of their brigand heritage.

Historically, many nations adopted hussars after the Austrian type proved successful, and military fashions were also influenced by the hussars’ splendid and elaborate uniforms. Hussar uniforms became slight caricatures, but remained very fashionable and popular, particularly with ladies – perhaps it was the very tight breeches that were so appealing.

==Details==

Hussars are superb light cavalry, among the finest in the game. They have the highest speed and stamina of any unit in the game, allowing for rapid repositioning on the battlefield, chasing retreating infantry, and fighting in pitched combat if need be although they tend to suffer heavy casualties against prepared foes. However, they lack the armor to go head to head with heavy cavalry such as Life Guards.

Hussars are ideal for wide sweeping maneuvers in an attempt to reach unprotected artillery. They are also good for luring enemy regiments away from the focus of the battlefield.

Not all nations have access to hussars, notably the colonial powers of France, Spain, and Great Britain.

[[Image:Household_cavalry_icon.png]]The royal guard cavalrymen are all gentlemen, hand picked to protect the person of the sovereign.
==Overview==
Royal guards are elite, but they are also a court regiment where appearance is as important as fighting ability. As gentlemen they are hardly expected to associate with the common sort of soldier, and this does not make them popular or respected with the rest of the army. They are also often unloved by the general populace too, as they are the last line of defence for the royal family, and this may mean that they are sometimes required to turn their swords on their countrymen to put down domestic trouble.

Historically, perhaps the oddest sounding of the various royal guard cavalry regiments were the curiously named horse grenadier guards. Common sense would seem to indicate that these men would only ever get to throw their grenades once, before their horses took off at speed towards all points of the compass! In British service the Household Cavalry regiments did not, and do not, have sergeants: they have a rank “corporal of horse”. The word “sergeant” has the same origins as “servant”, and no gentleman, even a private trooper, is ever a servant.

==Details==

Along with Life Guards, Household cavalry are the cream of the heavy cavalry, simply outclassing almost every other heavy cavalry type in every way, although they have slightly less morale than general's bodyguards. Essentially more numerous, superior, and more expendable general's bodyguards, household cavalry can be counted on for the most dangerous of fighting. On top of this, they serve to inspire nearby units to continue fighting-this is truly a unit to be thrown into the thick of a battle! Household cavalry's only weaknesses are their expensive recruiting and upkeep costs, and the limited number that may be recruited (6 Regiments). In this regard they are closely resemble guards, their infantry counterparts. Another weakness they have is low speed and endurance, they will tire quickly after repeated charges and prolonged periods of combat.

Heavy First Rate (ETW Unit)

[[Image:Heavyfirstratethumb.png‎]]For some navies big is never quite big enough! This oversized “first rate ship of the line” is more a floating fortress than a mere battleship.
==Overview==

This 120-gun (or larger) “first rate” is larger than a normal ship of that class, and far more powerful than a simple count of guns would imply. The ship carries 32-, 24- and 18-pounders on its decks, and wherever possible heavier guns replace the standard cannon found on a normal first rate. The result is a very expensive, very powerful, very prestigious warship, but one that can have limited utility. Few nations can afford the expense of building and crewing such a vessel, or can operate it far from shore facilities for very long. Its sailing qualities might be charitably described as “lubberly”: this is not a ship for chasing down enemies. All these drawbacks are secondary to its massive firepower and intimidating presence: this is a ship for dashing enemies to very small pieces!

Historically, only the Santísima Trinidad, a Spanish “super battleship” of four decks and some 136 guns, ever fought in action. Constructed as a three-decker she was enormous at 120 guns, even before her reworking. She fought at Cape St Vincent (1797) and Trafalgar (1805), and foundered after the latter battle in a storm while being towed away as a prize. The American USS Pennsylvania (ordered 1821; completed 1837) never saw action, and the US Navy destroyed her in 1860 to keep her out of Confederate hands.

Simply put, the massive Heavy First Rate is the slowest and most heavily armed ship available. Although they can fire devastating broadsides, and have great hull strength, heavy first rates are very easily out-maneouvered. They are also very expensive to build and maintain.

[[Image:Guard_infantry_icon.png‎]]The elite foot guards are charged with protecting the persons of the monarch and the royal family.
==Overview==

These troops are equipped in much the same way as line infantrymen, and carry smoothbore muskets as their primary weapons. There, however, the similarities end. Their uniforms are altogether more splendid, marking them out as a superior force, in arrogance if nothing else. This attitude can serve them well in battle, as the guard can hardly be seen to be cutting and running, no matter how hot the enemy fire. They are also expected to do a good job as garrison troops, keeping the royal family safe no matter what the locals might think or be tempted to do by some foolish revolutionary fervour.

Historically, the French Maison du Roi (literally “house of the king”) were the epitome of household troops. They provided a ceremonial guard at every state occasion, and Louis XIV picked them from candidates sent in by each regiment; inappropriate candidates brought punishment on the officers who had sent them! The Prussian “Potsdam Giants” were a quirky household guard, the product of Frederick I’s obsession with very, very tall men and military pomp. Oddly, he wasn’t a very warlike chap at all.

==Details==

Guards represent the very best most nations have to offer in terms of line infantry. They have very high morale, are resistant to morale shocks (such as being charged by cavalry) and can rally routing troops around them. Therefore, they are very reliable and should be used in key positions on the battlefield.

Guards utilize the platoon firing technology. This means that they represent less of a shock value on the battlefield and more of a constant influence. Guards boast very high accuracy so platoon firing is very devastating when used by them despite the smaller amount of firepower deployed.

To prevent overuse, each faction is limited to six units of guards. Every European (including non-native, pirates and Americans) faction, including minor nations, can train generic guards. However, some major factions have a unique assortment of other elite infantry they can also choose from. Like guards, these units generally possess superior statistics to regular line infantry, and utilize platoon firing unless it is unavailable.

Great Britain can train one regiment each of Coldstream Guards and The Black Watch in addition to their regular guards. Two of the three unit DLCs increases their variety and quantity of guards.

France has access to a plethora of unique line infantry guards: Chasseurs Britanniques (6 regiment limit), Royal Eccossais (1 regiment), Infanterie Petit-Vieux (3 regiments), and Infanterie Vieux (3 regiments), in addition to their regular guards, which are instead named Maison du Roix (6 regiments). With the DLC, the French also gain many new guard-type units.

Prussia has access to Life Guards (6 regiment limit) instead of guards, with generally superior statistics to even guards. Prussia can also train Superior Line Infantry (15 regiment limit), which are inferior to guards but higher-quality than line infantry.

Russia has access to Siemenovski Foot Guards (6 regiment limit) and Republican Guards (6 regiment limit). Republica Guards are identical in every way to normal guards apart from lacking Fire and Advance. Siemenovski Foot Guards are superior to normal guards in several areas at the cost of being hideously expensive.

Sweden has access to Life Guards of Foot (6 regiment limit), and also has access to Superior Line Infantry (15 regiment limit).

The United Provinces can train 6 Swiss Infantry regiments and 4 Scots regiments in addition to its 6 basic guard regiments, the Holland Guard. In addition, it can train 1 regiment of Blue Guard, which boasts superior statistics to the other guard types.

[[Image:Grenadiers_thumb.png‎]] Grenadiers are large, strong men, armed with muskets and carrying bags of bombs to hurl at the enemy’s ranks.

==Overview==

Explosive grenades are one of the oldest types of gunpowder weapon, and one of the most dangerous to use. Grenades are a simple cast iron ball, with a fuse sticking out of the top. Fuses are notoriously unreliable, and grenadiers can die as their own bombs explode prematurely. Yet no matter how terrifying grenades are for the throwers, they are infinitely worse for the targets! Grenadiers see themselves as elite, and occupy the place of honor at the right of the line on parade. They have good reason: only large, brave men become grenadiers, because it takes a big chap to throw one properly. Even their uniform makes them look bigger thanks to the pointed grenadier’s cap; a tricorne gets in the way of a good throw.

Historically, grenadier regiments and battalions began as ad-hoc assault forces. All line infantry regiments had grenadier companies; collecting these sub-units gave commanders a useful group of heavily armed, aggressive and skilful soldiers. Grenadier companies remained in line infantry regiments after the creation of grenadier regiments, but they abandoned grenades. Instead, each grenadier company became a “heavy mob” of the biggest and strongest soldiers in a regiment.

==Details==

Grenadiers are a specialized support troop. Like [[Line Infantry (ETW Unit)|Line Infantry]], Grenadiers are armed with muskets. They have half the manpower of a Line Infantry regiment, and so should not be used to simply substitute Line Infantry; however, they have superior melee statistics than Line Infantry and great to use in breaking up enemy lines. The Grenadiers' signature ability, however, is their ability to throw grenades: short ranged, powerful explosives that have a dramatic effect on enemy morale. Grenades may sometimes be tricky to use, but they can be a great factor in winning Line Infantry engagements.

In small engagements, grenadiers can be used to fire their muskets once, advance quickly, throw their grenades, then engage in melee for the most damage in the shortest time possible. Unless faced with withering fire, grenadiers will generally outclass Line Infantry with such a tactic.

In larger battles against Line Infantry, the Karoliner tactic (a favored strategy by Charles XII of Sweden) can be used to great effect. Grenadiers form a line directly behind the Line Infantry. The Line Infantry fire, close in to half distance (with the grenadiers following them), and fire again. The middle rank then turns fire at will off, and the grenadiers run through them, deliver their explosive payload, then charges with the Line Infantry closely following them. With the center of their line breaking, the rest of the enemy army should rout in short order.

Defensively, grenadiers have a more limited role but are still usable. Placing grenadiers very closely behind Line Infantry and setting them to use grenades allow them to toss grenades handily over the heads of Line Infantry and into charging enemies. The impact of grenades right as the enemy is about to hit the Line Infantry with their charge will have a significant effect on their morale. Grenadiers can then be used to aid the Line Infantry in repelling the enemy charge.

Grenadiers tend to be most effective in the early game. In the late game, line infantry become more dangerous to approach with the firing drills, and engagements start taking place at longer distances thanks to the introduction of light infantry. These factors make grenadiers harder to use effectively.

[[Image:Ghoorkas_thumb.png]] Recruited by colonial powers, these indigenous Indian infantry are renowned for their loyalty and resilience.

==Overview==

These indigenous troops formed hugely effective regiments when used by the European East India companies. They were acclimatised to India with a resilience and endurance that put Europeans to shame. In combat, they typically display unwavering bravery and a tenacious determination.

Often recruited from barren or mountainous regions, these men are tough and hard working. Loyal without question, their familiarity with local culture allowed Europeans to fight insurgencies and unrest with understanding as well as brute force.

The Sepoys of the British East India Company were typical in that they had native and European officers. “Natives” never commanded Company battalions, but their opinions were always sought by the better sort of European officer. The Ghoorkas were a special case, because Nepal was never colonized, but a treaty was made between the company and the native king.

==Details==

Ghoorkas are devastating, specialized melee infantry. Thanks to their superior numbers, morale, and melee statistics, they can defeat nearly every other individual regiment in a pitched battle. Their complete lack of a ranged attack, however, means that they are vulnerable to massed musket fire and artillery, although their high morale and numbers generally means enough of them survive the initial volleys to wreak havoc in the enemy lines.

[[Image:Euroheavycavalrythumb.png]] These tough warriors and soldiers have only one task: keeping their commander alive and well in the swirling chaos of battle.

==Overview==

A general can only do his duty properly if these men keep rough and unpleasant fellows from interrupting his calm deliberations about how to kill as many of the enemy as possible for as little loss as possible.

Only the most loyal and fiercest fighters are assigned to a general’s bodyguard. Good manners are a bonus, of course, but a strong sword arm and a deadly aim are more use! Their equipment is generally of the finest quality, and their pay is often supplemented from the general’s own pocket: they have a sound financial interest in keeping him alive, as well as their honour in carrying out a duty successfully!

==Details==

The general's bodyguard are superb units with impressive melee, defense, and morale stats and can inspire units near them to keep fighting. However, they should avoid battle whenever possible, as generals are expensive to recruit, improve over time if kept alive, and cause large penalties for every friendly unit should they be killed in the field of battle; also, there are less of them than the standard cavalry regiment, and so may be crushed due to sheer numbers more easily. Generals' bodyguards can be used in emergency situations to shore up a flagging section of the battlelines both as backup units and to inspiring wavering units, or to chase already routing enemies.

[[Image:Euro_provincial_cavalry_icon.png]]These locally recruited cavalry are a valuable aid in keeping order.
==Overview==

These light horsemen are often little more than mounted militia, but with a greater social standing. Cavalry always see themselves as better than foot soldiers, but in this case, it may be true. It is, after all, not cheap to purchase and maintain a decent horse, and this means that men with financial standing make up the majority of recruits.

They are, however, not as disciplined as regular cavalry, simply because they do not have the time or available resources to learn the craft of war as thoroughly. They are, however, extremely useful in policing the rougher, lower orders and keeping the existing social structure intact.

Historically, there are many examples of yeomanry or gendarmes turning on their own citizenry with surprising and horrific violence. They were widely used against the anti-factory Luddites in northern England and, most infamously, were responsible for the Peterloo Massacre in 1819, when the Manchester and Salford Yeomanry charged a mostly peaceful, but excited crowd, and cut down many unarmed protesters.

==Details==

Gendarmerie are a light cavalry unit available only to the Central European powers. Useful early on as substitutes for the better suited light and heavy cavalry to come, Gendarmerie retain their usefulness in the late game for keeping the order in turbulent regions as they receive a bonus to repression. Should a rebellion occur, they are a good complement to militia forces in fighting, routing, and destroying rebel mobs.

However, Gendarmerie have a very weak charge bonus and not much melee skill or defense. They are only really suited to attacking weaker enemies, or enemies that are just about to break.

Galley (ETW Unit)

2020-07-13T22:56:12Z

ManicMayo: /* Factions */

{{TW Unit|image=[[Image:Galley.png]]
|Class=Medium Galley
|Unit Size=74 men
|Weaponry=2 guns
|Region=Europe
|Recruitment Cost=430
|Upkeep Cost=100
|Building Requirements=Dockyard
|Tech Requirements=None
|Attributes=
}}

[[Image:Galley_thumbnail.png]]Galleys are propelled by both oars and sails, with cannons on firing platforms above the rowers’ heads.

==Overview==

Although made obsolescent by the rise of broadside-firing sailing ships, galleys still have a place in naval warfare. The wind (or its lack) does not limit their movement and, if well handled, galleys can run rings around sailing ships. A galley has a reasonable amount of firepower for its size with cannons on a firing platform, or with a full gun deck above the rowers (on a design called a galleas). Up to five men work each oar; these are convicts (at best) or slaves (at worst). The life of a rower is hard, brutal and can be short: chained to their oars, they will go down with the galley if it founders.

The galley’s main disadvantage is its vulnerability in heavy seas: it would almost certainly sink in a full Atlantic seaway. It is most useful in relatively calm waters such as the Mediterranean or Baltic. These smaller seas also help keep a galley close to port: the large crew size means that they cannot venture far from a supply port, making them unsuitable for trans-oceanic voyages.

Historically, the galley survived for a long time as a practical warship in sheltered waters. The Ottomans, Swedes and Russians all used them in their battle fleets. As late as the 1790s they were still in use in the Baltic and the Mediterranean (C. S. Forrester has his famous fictional hero Captain Horatio Hornblower face Spanish galleons in one encounter). North African corsairs also used galleys, as they had a ready supply of European slaves to serve in them.

==Details==

Although galleys carry only three cannon, these are all very heavy hitters and on the stern or bow of the ship, allowing them to use hit-and-run tactics to great effect. Since they fire their cannons so close to the waterline, galleys have a nasty habit of sinking much heavier ships within a few shots. Galleys also have the advantage of having oars and therefore not relying on the wind as heavily as most other ships, (although choppy water almost completely immobilizes them). However, galleys have minuscule sail and hull strength, and a very small number of crew. Therefore, galleys simply cannot compete with heavier ships of the later eras and should be phased out by then.

A galley has a reasonable amount of firepower for its size with cannons on a firing platform, or with a full gun deck above the rowers (on a design called a galleas). Up to five men work each oar; these are convicts (at best) or slaves (at worst). The life of a rower is hard, brutal and can be short: chained to their oars, they will go down with the galley if it founders.

The galley’s main disadvantage is its vulnerability in heavy seas: it would almost certainly sink in a full Atlantic seaway. It is most useful in relatively calm waters such as the Mediterranean or Baltic. These smaller seas also help keep a galley close to port: the large crew size means that they cannot venture far from a supply port, making them unsuitable for trans-oceanic voyages.

Historically, the galley survived for a long time as a practical warship in sheltered waters. The Ottomans, Swedes and Russians all used them in their battle fleets. As late as the 1790s they were still in use in the Baltic and the Mediterranean (C. S. Forrester has his famous fictional hero Captain Horatio Hornblower face Spanish galleons in one encounter). North African corsairs also used galleys, as they had a ready supply of European slaves to serve in them.

==Details==

Although galleys carry only three cannon, these are all very heavy hitters and on the stern or bow of the ship, allowing them to use hit-and-run tactics to great effect. Since they fire their cannons so close to the waterline, galleys have a nasty habit of sinking much heavier ships within a few shots. Galleys also have the advantage of having oars and therefore not relying on the wind as heavily as most other ships, (although choppy water almost completely immobilizes them). However, galleys have minuscule sail and hull strength, and a very small number of crew. Therefore, galleys simply cannot compete with heavier ships of the later eras and should be phased out by then.

Fourth Rate Ship of the Line (ETW Unit)

[[Image:4th_rate_thumb.png]]The fourth rate is the smallest vessel styled a “ship of the line” (of battle), carrying as many as 60 guns.

==Overview==

Ships of the line of battle are the mainstay of fighting fleets: strong and stable gun platforms for battering enemy vessels into submission. The designation of “fourth rate” for ships of this size is a British Royal Navy one, and covers a number of designs, all with very similar handling and combat power. All fourth rates are square-rigged, two-deck ships, with up to 60 guns on board in a mixture of calibres: usually a mixture of 24-, 18- and 12-pounders, with the heavier guns mounted on the lower deck.

Even though fourth rates are obviously smaller than the third-rate 74s, their firepower is much lower than a simple number-of-guns comparison would indicate. There is no structural strength or space for coping with the recoil of massive guns. As a result, a fourth rate may only have half the weight of fire of a larger ship, although partially it makes up for this by being a handier sailing vessel, especially in shallow waters.

Historically, it was obvious by the 1750s that ships of this size were not tough enough to stand in the line of battle against larger vessels. Over time, various admiralties removed these smaller battle ships from the active service, or sent them to minor stations where they were unlikely to encounter powerful enemies. Some survived as converted transports.

==Overview==

Fourth rates carry considerably more firepower than fifth rates, at the cost of some of its mobility. Fourth rates are a decent compromise of speed, durability, and firepower, although they are still a little too weak to use as boarding ships and flagships.

Critically, fourth rates possess less range than any of its lighter counterparts. This means that lighter ships such as fifth and sixth rates can effectively kite fourth rates. Fourth rates are thus better suited to direct engagements, where it is outclassed by third rates and the first and second rates.

[[Image:Armed_citizenry_europe_icon_infm.png]] Arming the people is something that leaders find detestable and frightening, necessary perhaps, but certainly unwelcome.

==Overview==

Armed citizenry are a mob, given whatever guns are to hand, with brief training that the muzzle end is to be pointed towards the foe. Weapons do not make soldiers, and arming the people is an act of desperation. On the battlefield, the citizenry are unlikely to do much to damage an enemy, but the size of the mob can at least cause the foe problems. This can give real soldiers enough time to win the battle, or make the enemy pay heavily for their victory.

Historically, arming the people was something that really scared the authorities in every nation, particularly if the population hated the existing regime. It was not wise to supply an angry population with weapons, when these might be turned on the rulers, rather than foreigners. When Austria decided to create landwehr or militia forces, it was careful to exclude many regions from the decision as the loyalty of Austria’s many different ethnic groups could not always be guaranteed.

==Details==

Firelock Armed Citizenry are free mobs provided to the defender of a region capital while attempting to repel invaders. Their number is dependent on the public order, the wealth of the region, and the regions themselves (for example, France is capable of producing a full stack of 20 armed citizenry, while Serbia would be lucky to get four). Firelock Armed Citizenry are notoriously poor at shooting, possess very limited ammo, and are even worse in a melee, but they are certainly better than nothing and completely expendable in the sense that they have no upkeep or training cost whatsoever.

The amount of armed citizenry available also depends on the number of regiments already in the region capital. If a region capital is capable of supplying five mobs of armed citizenry, but the army deployed there already has 19 regiments, then only one mob will be provided; the cap of twenty regiments per army still applies.

[[Image:5th_rate_thumbnail.png]]Frigates are single-deck warships, used for a variety of tasks thanks to a combination of good handling, firepower and endurance at sea.
==Overview==

“Fifth rate” is a Royal Navy term for the largest of the single-deck frigates, square-rigged ships that carry some 44 guns, usually no heavier than 12-pounders. Originally a French design – but quickly adopted by the other European powers – the frigate is used for pursuit, convoy protection, commerce raiding and reconnaissance work. The design’s excellent sailing characteristics and good handling, especially in inshore waters, make it a useful addition to any blockading fleet. The frigate’s ability to operate far away from a home port also makes it a useful cruiser, carrying the fight to the enemy in unexpected waters.

Frigates can have the advantage over larger, two-deck ships in rough waters. A frigate captain rarely has to worry about his gun deck taking on water, and can therefore fight in conditions that leave bigger ships at a disadvantage. However, fifth rates are not powerful enough to face battleships. They have the speed and handling to stay out of trouble; they do not have the strength of construction to survive a pounding! Against sloops, brigs and merchantmen, however, they are deadly. This makes them excellent postings for officers hungry for prize money and glory.

Frigates captains made splendid role models for fictional heroes: Thomas, Lord Cochrane earned a fortune in prize money, gained the nickname “le loup des mers” (sea-wolf) and was the inspiration for fictional heroes Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey.

==Details==

Fifth rates are the first of the double-deck ships (although historically they were single deck ships). Nevertheless, they are very speedy, and can outmaneuver all but the lightest and smallest ships. Fifth-rates are well-suited to hunting down trading fleets and are perfect for fighting lighter ships such as galleys. In a battle with heavier warships, fifth rates are useful for chasing down routing ships. With enough management, fifth rates can even take on heavier ships, especially if said ships had first been immobilized or slowed down through chain shot. However, in a direct engagement against heavier ships, fifth rates are very fragile and tend to rout or sink within a few broadsides.

Fifth rates possess chasers (cannon located at the fore of a ship), allowing them to still harry fleeing targets; however, almost all of their guns are located on their sides, so relying on chasers is not usually a smart move.

Fifth rates (including Admirals Flagships) are the largest ship that has 500 range as opposed to 400. This allows Fifth rates to stay out of range and bombard the larger slower ships from a safe distance, but they must remain careful when doing so.

First Rate Ship of the Line (ETW Unit)

[[Image:1st_rate_thumbnail.png]]The first rate is the largest type of “ship of the line of battle”, intended to be the centre of any fleet. These are very expensive and powerful vessels.

==Overview==

While these warships are among the most powerful vessels afloat, they are poor sailors, being both slow and unresponsive. This is not a serious shortcoming because, armed with around 100 cannons firing 32-, 24- and 18-pounder balls on their three decks, they can fire a terrible and destructive broadside. They carry a crew of over 800 sailors, gunners and marines and have more artillery than most land armies. Their cost, however, is a drawback and few navies can afford to build or maintain more than a handful of them.

Historically, first rates were never common, and hardly ever sent to overseas stations. They existed purely to fight in set-piece battles, and were not used for mundane duties such as protecting merchantmen, policing the seas and hunting down privateers.

==Details==

With their one hundred or so cannons and their large complement of crew, first rates can easily overpower nearly any other ship in a direct engagement. First rates are also extraordinarily difficult to sink in most circumstances; they also have high morale and inspire lesser ships around them. These qualities all make them very suitable as admiral's ships. However, they are slow and unwieldy, and faster, lesser ships may be able to outwit and defeat them. First rates are some of the most expensive units to build and maintain, so it is ill-advised to construct too many of them. The building requirements are steep, too: steam drydocks are required to build them, which in turn is only acquired late in the technology tree with numerous prerequisites.

[[Image:Armed_citizenry_europe_icon_infm.png]] Arming the people is something that leaders find detestable and frightening, necessary perhaps, but certainly unwelcome.

==Overview==

Armed citizenry are a mob, given whatever guns are to hand, with brief training that the muzzle end is to be pointed towards the foe. Weapons do not make soldiers, and arming the people is an act of desperation. On the battlefield, the citizenry are unlikely to do much to damage an enemy, but the size of the mob can at least cause the foe problems. This can give real soldiers enough time to win the battle, or make the enemy pay heavily for their victory.

Historically, arming the people was something that really scared the authorities in every nation, particularly if the population hated the existing regime. It was not wise to supply an angry population with weapons, when these might be turned on the rulers, rather than foreigners. When Austria decided to create landwehr or militia forces, it was careful to exclude many regions from the decision as the loyalty of Austria’s many different ethnic groups could not always be guaranteed.

==Details==

Firelock Armed Citizenry are free mobs provided to the defender of a region capital while attempting to repel invaders. Their number is dependent on the public order, the wealth of the region, and the regions themselves (for example, France is capable of producing a full stack of 20 armed citizenry, while Serbia would be lucky to get four). Firelock Armed Citizenry are notoriously poor at shooting, possess very limited ammo, and are even worse in a melee, but they are certainly better than nothing and completely expendable in the sense that they have no upkeep or training cost whatsoever.

The amount of armed citizenry available also depends on the number of regiments already in the region capital. If a region capital is capable of supplying five mobs of armed citizenry, but the army deployed there already has 19 regiments, then only one mob will be provided; the cap of twenty regiments per army still applies.

Fifth Rate (ETW Unit)

[[Image:5th_rate_thumbnail.png]]Frigates are single-deck warships, used for a variety of tasks thanks to a combination of good handling, firepower and endurance at sea.
==Overview==

“Fifth rate” is a Royal Navy term for the largest of the single-deck frigates, square-rigged ships that carry some 44 guns, usually no heavier than 12-pounders. Originally a French design – but quickly adopted by the other European powers – the frigate is used for pursuit, convoy protection, commerce raiding and reconnaissance work. The design’s excellent sailing characteristics and good handling, especially in inshore waters, make it a useful addition to any blockading fleet. The frigate’s ability to operate far away from a home port also makes it a useful cruiser, carrying the fight to the enemy in unexpected waters.

Frigates can have the advantage over larger, two-deck ships in rough waters. A frigate captain rarely has to worry about his gun deck taking on water, and can therefore fight in conditions that leave bigger ships at a disadvantage. However, fifth rates are not powerful enough to face battleships. They have the speed and handling to stay out of trouble; they do not have the strength of construction to survive a pounding! Against sloops, brigs and merchantmen, however, they are deadly. This makes them excellent postings for officers hungry for prize money and glory.

Frigates captains made splendid role models for fictional heroes: Thomas, Lord Cochrane earned a fortune in prize money, gained the nickname “le loup des mers” (sea-wolf) and was the inspiration for fictional heroes Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey.

==Details==

Fifth rates are the first of the double-deck ships (although historically they were single deck ships). Nevertheless, they are very speedy, and can outmaneuver all but the lightest and smallest ships. Fifth-rates are well-suited to hunting down trading fleets and are perfect for fighting lighter ships such as galleys. In a battle with heavier warships, fifth rates are useful for chasing down routing ships. With enough management, fifth rates can even take on heavier ships, especially if said ships had first been immobilized or slowed down through chain shot. However, in a direct engagement against heavier ships, fifth rates are very fragile and tend to rout or sink within a few broadsides.

Fifth rates possess chasers (cannon located at the fore of a ship), allowing them to still harry fleeing targets; however, almost all of their guns are located on their sides, so relying on chasers is not usually a smart move.

Fifth rates (including Admirals Flagships) are the largest ship that has 500 range as opposed to 400. This allows Fifth rates to stay out of range and bombard the larger slower ships from a safe distance, but they must remain careful when doing so.

[[Image:Dragoons_thumb.png]] Despite appearances, dragoons are not really cavalry but mounted line infantry, riding into a battle then fighting on foot

==Overview==

Horses give mobility, not shock value in combat. Dragoons do not charge home, but ride to critical spots on a battlefield where infantry firepower is needed. They carry smooth-bore, muzzle-loading muskets with shortened barrels (to make reloading easier) originally called “dragons” or dragoons; over time, this name transferred to the men.

Dragoons are also useful for riot control and civil suppression (“dragooning” is to bully people into a course of action). Their usefulness as infantry and “cheap” cavalry means that they can put down all kinds of trouble, as cutting down civilians is beneath the dignity of proper cavalry regiments.

Historically, dragoons slowly became cavalry soldiers like any other, and stopped fighting as mounted infantry, although many regiments did retain the name. The cavalry had always regarded them as (lower paid) social inferiors, and the infantry had resented them as not being proper footsloggers, so the dragoons welcomed their new acceptability.

==Details==

Dragoons can act as a light cavalry force as well as quick-response firepower thanks to their carbines. All Dragoons have the option to dismount and act as Infantry; however, they are still ill-suited for taking on proper [[Line Infantry (ETW Unit)|Line Infantry]] due to their inferior numbers and melee statistics.

Dragoons have 25% more manpower than other horse regiments. However, even with this advantage in numbers they cannot normally take on Heavy or even Light Cavalry without support.

Demi-Cannons (ETW Unit)

[[Image:Demi_cannon_western.png]]A demi-cannon is a heavy artillery piece from the previous century, deployed in a fixed battlefield position.

==Overview==

Although obsolete, a demi-cannon is still a dangerous weapon to face as it fires a ball with a nominal weight of around 24 pounds. This large caliber makes for a large weapon with a massive gun carriage. Once properly emplaced, a demi-cannon is hard enough to adjust for aim, let alone drag to a new location! Originally, this lack of tactical mobility was not a problem, as the gun was for siege work or for a battlefield where there was little artillery present. It was unlikely to ever suffer any kind of counter-battery fire, so didn’t need to be moved.

Artillery was sometimes incredibly dangerous to its users as well as the targets: fire was a terrible risk. The artillery baggage train usually held an enormous quantity of powder, and any stray spark was liable to cause an explosion. Anyone out of place caught near the powder train could expect little mercy: some generals ordered that enemy agents should be burned alive if caught in an arson attempt, and immediate lynching for their own errant soldiers wandering too near the artillery train!

==Details==
Demi-cannons are slightly superior to sakers. Other than that, they are identical. They should be utilized early to provide rudimentary artillery firepower to the battlefield, and then replaced with more suitable options.
