Empire Fusiliers- Sigmarite Line Infantry! (Updated 3/8/22)
"It matters not that the Chaos Warrior is three heads taller, or ten times stronger- the man with the Nuln handgun is his equal." – Wilhelm Raedler, Master Engineer
Yo dawg, I heard you like Empire: Total War, so we put Empire in your Empire so you can Empire while you Empire!
Fusiliers are a vanilla-balanced hybrid infantry unit based on the line infantry of the late 17th and early 18th century- a hypothetical look into the future of Imperial troops. They can be recruited for 750 gold, requiring both a level 3 barracks and a gunsmith of any tier. They benefit from red line skills for both melee and ranged troops.
They fall between regular infantry and dedicated skirmishers as stats go. Fusiliers are skilled in melee, reload quickly, and hit just as hard as regular handgunners. With bayonets, they can defend against cavalry charges and enjoy some anti-large; their charges are also potent. However, they’re less accurate than dedicated skirmishers and scarcely armored.
