In the game's words

How to use it

The Humbaraci is a heavy ranged infantry that replaces the Grenadier for the Ottomans. It is already available in the Commerce Age at the Artillery Foundry and operates like a short-ranged artillery unit that throws grenades, which inflict damage in an area. Unlike Grenadiers, they are not only effective against buildings, but also against artillery. Higher movement speed, hit points, attack range and additional resistance against siege attacks allows Humbaracis to approach enemy artillery more safely. This specialization comes at the cost of smaller area damage and reduced resistance against ranged attacks, making the Humbaraci less effective against infantry than Grenadiers. Like European Grenadiers, the Humbaraci can be equipped with hand mortars with greater range by sending the Grenade Launchers card.

History

The Humbaraci corps was one of the divisions of the Ottoman Army and is commonly considered to be the earliest specialized Grenadier corps in the early modern period. The Ottomans already started to use grenades in the late 15th and early 16th century, preceding this development in European armies. The name “humbaraci” is based on a Persian loanword that describes a metal bowl for storing valuables. This was likened to the metallic gunpowder-filled grenade and therefore called “humbara”. The Ottoman army intended to emulate the power of the cumbersome and slow-moving artillery with more mobile foot soldiers by equipping and training small detachments of infantry banners with grenades. The Humbaraci corps also had extensive knowledge of casting and operating artillery pieces such as mortars. This expertise made them valuable in both infantry and artillery troops.

How this is worked out

Each hit: damage × every multiplier that matches the target's types × (1 − the target's resist to that damage). Two ranged units trade shots; against a melee-only unit the better of ranged and melee is used. Damage per second = hit ÷ seconds between attacks.

Armies bought with the same resources fight by Lanchester's square law: strength = (resources ÷ unit cost)² × damage per second × hit points. The edge is the square root of the strength ratio. All matchups.
