In the game's words
How to use it
The Drummer is an infantry unit. It is available in the Commerce 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. Drummers are unconventional units whose main role is not as fighters – even though they can attack with a pistol – but in improving the speed of nearby allied units. Drummers also gain additional hit points when close to allied units, making them hard to kill when in the midst of an army.
History
The House of Hanover ruled much of northwestern Germany from the 17th century up through the 20th century. However, a branch of this house also ruled in England for a few centuries. British armies were among many in Europe to make use of drummers in their armies to pace troop movement and communicate commands with various rhythms and sequences. Drummers were crucial to forces for this reason – and often became targets as a result.
