In the game's words
How to use it
The Zouave is a mercenary unit that can be trained at the Saloon or the Monastery and is available starting in the Fortress Age. Like State Militia, Zouaves have relatively low range and high hit points. However, they have more attack and none of the multipliers -- positive or negative -- that the State Militia has.
History
During the 19th century, Zouaves were a light infantry force in the French army recruited primarily from their overseas territories in Africa -- an origin which their name reflects. While the units were initially indigenous, they soon drew only on European inhabitants of the occupied regions. These units grew to be held in high regard for their decorated members and success on the field, but eventually declined as they were repurposed as conscription units during the latter part of the 19th century.
