Historical units that need to be added into the game

Royal Marines

I think these units should act similarly to Humbaraci. They should be a single pop unit that have a x3 multiplier against all artillery and a range resistance of 20% but a siege resistance of 50%. Their range should be 16 and they should also have a high siege attack (especially against defensive buildings). They will have the same states as a British musketeer in all other regards (except no melee cav multiplier). They will be trainable from all British ships and docks. They will be able to build docks. Twice as many Royal Marines will be able to fit on a single ship at a time than normal units (limit of units allowed on ship increased to 100 from 50). The perfect unit for island hoping campains.

This could work similarly to the USA civ Home City “United States Marines” card.

Royal Highlander

They will be of a similar purpose as normal mercenary Highlanders but will be unique to the British. They will be available from Age 3 onwards and will take up two population. They will have extremely high based stats but have no multipliers against any unit. They will have a range of 15 to compensate for their lack of multipliers. Royal Highlanders’ ranged and melee attack should be equal. They will normally have a range resist of 20% but will have a charged ability (like Caroleans) called, “The Highland Charge”, which will lock all Royal Highlanders’ attack into melee, increase their movement speed to 5 and change their range resistance into a 30% melee resistance. They should trade well against all units apart from Artillery and long range skirmishers which will be their main weakness because of their “Heavy Infantry” tag.

I think it would be a great unit for potentially Stuart Royal House.

Prussian Line Infantry

Based closely on the Line Infantry unit available from the the Habsburg Royal House but with more standardised stats. Available only to the German civilisation only, they will have a range of 13, a rate of fire of 2.5 and a movement speed of 4.65 but will have less hit points and attack than regular musketeers. To make up for their lack of hitpoints they will have a 1.3 ranged multiplier against all cavalry. Available in the barracks from Age 3.

Prussians offer so many possibilities that they deserve to become a full-fledged civ in AoE 3.

A Conjecture about the Next New Civilization
