Protectorate squad: grenadiers in dark blue coats and a Bosniak lancer

III. Protectorate

Brandenburg Protectorate

The iron ramrod and Seydlitz’s cuirassiers

The iron ramrod: musketeers fire almost 40% more often, but each volley is weaker. Seydlitz’s cuirassiers renew their charge sooner, while field jägers, Bosniaks and horse artillery give the army reach and speed. Recruiting foreigners comes at a price: musketeers and cuirassiers cost 15% more.

Music
The Hohenfriedberger, Dessauer and Torgauer marches and Bach’s “Brandenburg Concertos”
Voices
German; the Bosniaks speak Polish

    No aiming needed. Debased coin floods the enemy’s market: they lose 40% of their gold, 600 at most. Your treasury gains 150 plus half of that loss.
