In the game's words
How to use it
The Grand Master replaces the Explorer and is unique to the Maltese. Like the Explorer, the Grand Master is a ranged infantry hero that can collect Treasures, construct certain buildings, is effective against Treasure Guardians, and can utilize the Sharpshooter ability to kill individual enemy units. Grand Masters also construct special buildings for the Maltese, like Forts, Fixed Guns and Gunpowder Depots.
History
Knightly military orders had one supreme commander, the Grand Master, who was elected from among the senior officers in the order’s ranks whenever the presiding Grand Master died or otherwise forfeited his office, resided in the order’s headquarters, and had full command of all of the order’s assets. He was, in essence, an autocrat. One prominent example within the Knights of Malta was Jean Parisot de la Valette (1490s-1568), who famously led the Maltese defense during the Ottoman Siege of Malta in 1565.
