In the game's words
How to use it
The Bosniak is a heavy hand cavalry mercenary. Bosniaks are lancers that are comparable to Stradiots, but unlike them, have multipliers on their damage output – making them more of a hard counter than a soft counter to the units against whom heavy cavalry excel. They also have a slightly longer range than other melee cavalry units, making it easier for them to attack their targets, as well a unique attribute: a special lance attack that charges up over time. Bosniaks can also ascend up to three levels of promotions by killing enemy units, each level raising their hit points and attack.
History
Although nominally from Bosnia, Bosniaks were in reality drawn from all over Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Balkans. These units served as irregular cavalry in other European armies, most notably those of Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark. Flourishing during the 18th century, especially during the Seven Years’ War, Bosniak cavalry could immediately be recognized by their distinct hats and black uniforms with white and colored ornaments.
