In the game's words
How to use it
The Indian Arsonist is a mercenary unit that can be shipped from the Home City. It is an enhanced grenadier unit, hurling torches that cause bonus area splash damage on infantry units. It is also powerful against buildings.
History
Before exploding into greater conflict, the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, also known as the First War of Indian Independence, consisted of series of smaller bouts of violence manifesting the Indian people’s discontent with the British occupation and the prominent role of the British East India Company in daily life. The most common of these incidents involved arson. Several months before the rebellion ignited and united the country against the foreign occupation, a number of serious fires broke out in the areas surrounding the city of Calcutta. The arson of January 24, 1857 is often considered to be the turning point between scattered uprisings and the formation of a definitive resistance movement.
