In the game's words
How to use it
The Irish Brigadier is a heavy ranged infantry mercenary. Like Highlanders and Fusiliers, Irish Brigadiers wield a musket as their primary weapon, but are less expensive and have lower hit points. Their ranged attack is more than respectable, but their melee attack is formidable as well, including a small bonus against cavalry. Irish Brigadiers also can ascend up to three levels of promotions by killing enemy units, each level raising their hit points and attack.
History
Though formidable fighters in their homeland, Irish troops were perhaps most renowned for their service as mercenaries in foreign conflicts, such as the 17th century so-called Flight of the Wild Geese. Although they most commonly served in French and Spanish armies, they also played a distinguished role in the Mexican-American War of 1846-48, where the San Patricios (St. Patrick’s Battalion) fought for the Mexicans and were by all accounts their strongest unit in the conflict. Such was their prowess (and the attractiveness of their incentives) that many American troops even defected to join them.
