I keep seeing more and more posts on this forum trying to solve the 18 year problem of trying to make Grenadiers more viable in competitive games. Do you know the best re-work solution???

I had to improve the lexicon of one of the alternatives and apparently the vote was restarted.
Thanks for your understanding!
Originally in AOE3 classic there was just one grenadier, now there are 3.5 standard ones as well as a few mercenary/native varieties.
Some people dismiss grenadiers others might swear by them.

I propose that we buff grenadier base stats to make them more viable as a unit.
Grenadier (Age of Empires III) | Age of Empires Series Wiki | Fandom )%2C%20Russians%2C%20and%20Swedes.
Currently they have base attack of 16 siege damage, I propose that gets increased to 20 siege damage.
The goal of this change is to make grenadier scale a bit better in late game, by buffing their base stats, the upgrades that are applied to the unit will be more impactful.
This will also make grenadier more via…
