Scotland is a brand-new nation, that’s why we’re going to shed some light on its units:
- Scotland`s unique feature is its ability to build two different barracks – for highlanders and lowlanders. At the same time, the nation cannot proceed into the 18th century and has no 18th century units or buildings.
- The Scottish peasant is non-capturable, just like the Ukrainian one. Though, you can acquire them in a similar way as well – by capturing the town center or any occupied mine.
- Covenant pikeman is an unarmored pikeman with a higher attack, better upgrades and slightly bigger health pool. While he’s able to fight on par with the European pikemen, he`s more vulnerable to ranged attacks
- Covenant musketeer – has more health than his European counterparts. Uses more gunpowder, but shoots further.
- Sword clansmen are the Scotland’s main defenders. He’s an unarmored infantry unit, armed with broadsword and shield. Moves a bit faster than other infantry. He has the most health among the foot soldiers. After upgrades has extremely strong attack. We advise to complete all defence and bayonet upgrades for grenadiers / musketeers, if you`re playing against Scotland.
At the end of 18th century swordsman becomes weaker, therefore we do not recommend Scotland players to participate in long peace time sessions. - Bow clansman has a long ranged bow, that’s designed to set buildings of fire. This comes in handy, as Scotland has no grenadiers. Has a lot of health points.
- Lancer – an unarmored cavalry unit with a pike. Has a lot of health, but below average damage.
- Raider is a light cavalry unit with a broadsword. Has high health and damage parameters, but takes a while to build.
- Frame gun is a multibarrel cannon. It’s a viable range support, although watch out for friendly fire.
- Scotland also has a unique officer with an extremely large health pool.
- The mini-expansion is not a part of the Deluxe Edition of the game.
