Cacadore
In the game's words
How to use it
Cassadores are ranged infantry units unique to the Portuguese, occupying the same role as the Skirmisher. They have a vicious volley attack, but not many hitpoints. Cassadores are available in the Fortress Age and are good against units they outrange. Their relatively low hitpoints mean they need to be kept out of range of enemy attacks more than most units, but when they can maintain their distance, they pack a mean punch.
History
The Cassador (also Cazador) was a Portuguese light infantry during the Napoleonic era. The name comes from the Portuguese word for hunter. They formed batallions consisting of five companies, four companies of Cassadores and one company of elite tiradores. Cassadores in the nineteenth century wore brown uniforms and were armed with muskets or rifles. They carried brown backpacks and gray blankets. They wore stovepipe shako hats with prominent green plumes on the front.

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.
