In the game's words
How to use it
Mercenaries are much stronger versions of native auxiliaries, standard or unique units. For a sum of coin they can be hired from the Home City as well as respective Mercenary training buildings of your civilization (i.e. Taverns, Saloons, Monasteries, Palaces, or Lombards). Make sure to check its tooltip at the game start to see what Mercenaries are available. Their selection per map is fully random. Typical Mercenary counter units are Spies, Native Scouts, Inquisitors, Disciples.
History
Mamelukes got their name from an Arabic word meaning "slave" or "owned." They were formed as a core soldiery of slave warriors, like the janissaries, valued because they had no allegiances except to their sultan. Eventually they grew so powerful that they installed themselves as the rulers of Egypt. Comprised originally of Turks and Mongols, and later to include Circassians and Georgians, the mamelukes were powerful soldiers and rulers in the Middle East for hundreds of years. Napoleon fought and defeated the mamelukes in the late eighteenth century when he attacked Cairo, later raising his own mameluke regiments. Rustam, a Georgian mameluke and one of Napoleon's personal bodyguards, came from these regiments. Mamelukes fought mounted with sword and shield. They adopted firearms much later - too late, perhaps, to maintain their military power.
