In the game's words
How to use it
The Crabat is a light cavalry outlaw unit available at the Saloon, Tavern, and Monastery beginning in the Commerce Age. Despite their poor hitpoints and range, they are agile units with excellent attack and solid siege abilities. Their hitpoints and rate of fire improve with extensive use.
History
During the European-Ottoman wars of the 16th century, light skirmishing cavalry from the Balkans began to cultivate a formidable reputation. By the 17th century, a particular variant of these, known as the Crabats (derived from the Slavic Croats), saw widespread action in conflicts across all of Europe, most prominently during the Thirty Years' War. Their combined use of sabres and pistols made them versatile combatants who could inflict serious damage in short and efficient intervals. Initially deployed by the Habsburg monarchy, Crabats would also form the basis of King Louis XIV of France’s Royal Cravates. Crabats are particularly famous for their iconic knotted neck ties, from which the popular fashion item the cravat originates.
