In the game's words
How to use it
The Revolutionary is a ranged infantry unit comparable to a Musketeer and only available in revolutions. Once you have revolted, all your settlers drop their work and pick up guns to turn into Revolutionaries and take the battle to the enemy base. Instead of villagers, your Town Center now produces Revolutionaries. Like Musketeers they counter cavalry with their bayonets in melee combat. Unlike most gunpowder infantry units, Revolutionaries are also countering cavalry with their ranged attack. Some revolutions have more powerful Revolutionaries, special upgrade shipments, or unique replacements. Revolutionaries only cost food, which makes it easier to replenish the ranks in a revolution when the economy largely relies on Trading Posts and Factories.
History
The European empires in the New World lasted in most cases for a little more than 300 years. By the early nineteenth century most European colonies had thrown off their Old World masters and had become independent nations through revolutionary wars. The first revolution by the Thirteen British colonies resulted in the eventual formation of the United States. The success of this revolution was assured when the United States stated its Monroe Doctrine, forbidding any power from further conquests or colony placement in the Americas, and Great Britain made it clear that its navy would not allow such actions either. Soon other occupied countries in the Americas and Europe were to follow the example of the successful revolution in North America. The French Revolution of 1789 toppled the Bourbon monarchy that had ruled France for 200 years. The Greeks and Serbians put an end to Ottoman rule. Revolutionary armies in the Americas were often led by experienced officers and generals who prior to the revolution served in the military of the colonial powers, and not seldomly were of European heritage. The military skills of revolutionary leaders like Simón Bolívar, José de San Martín, or Bernardo O'Higgins were of paramount importance in liberating Latin America from centuries of Spanish and Portuguese colonial rule. Not all wars of liberation were immediately successful. The revolutions and rebellions in Ireland, Poland, Romania, and Hungary took several attempts before eventually succeeding.
