In the game's words
How to use it
The Black Brunswicker is a ranged heavy infantry unit. It is available in the Fortress Age at the Trading Post to anyone who has allied with the House of Hanover by building a Trading Post on one of their palaces. Black Brunswickers are similar to Musketeers, with a bonus against cavalry, but have speedier movement and reloading time at the expense of lower hit points. Black Brunswickers can also ascend up to three levels of promotions by killing enemy units, each level raising their hit points and damage.
History
The House of Hanover ruled much of northwestern Germany from the 17th century up through the 20th century. During the Napoleonic Wars, the Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg recruited an elite force in opposition to French occupation of parts of Germany. This force’s black uniforms lent themselves to their colloquial name, the ‘Black Brunswickers’. They became known as a force to be feared during Napoleon’s invasion of Spain, but persisted as a deadly force through the remainder of the war and beyond, their insignia of the skull and crossbones heralding the impending doom of their enemies.
