In the game's words
How to use it
The Cossack Daredevil is an Outlaw unit available at the Tavern, Saloon, and Monastery beginning in the Commerce Age. It is a cheap melee cavalry unit with low hit-points and no attack multipliers, but a fast movement speed. Its swift sabre deals high amount of damage per second and it can deal a powerful charge attack with its lance after killing a certain number of units. Cossack Daredevils may be dismounted into ranged infantry units that primarily attack with pistols, but can also charge up a knife that deals ranged melee damage.
History
The term ‘Cossack’ originated in the Cuman language, meaning “free man”, and was used in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to describe refugees in the Ukrainian steppe, where they developed a distinct social and military culture. A special unit of registered Cossacks formed the Zaporozhian Army, which fought on behalf of the Commonwealth against Tatar and Turkish incursions near the Black Sea in exchange for land and privileges. However, due to increasingly unfavorable economic policies levied by the Polish government, several Cossacks began to instigate uprisings against their Polish overlords during the early 1600s. The Poles quashed these rebellions, but the Cossacks continued to thrive with relative autonomy, often participating in Russian and Moldavian affairs. The Cossacks would greatly contribute to the development of the modern Ukrainian national identity during their pervasive struggle against the Poles and Russians. Following the demise of the Zaporozhian Sich in 1775, the Cossack system collapsed; various attempts to revive the regiments occurred over the following several decades, but the results were only marginal at-best.
