Yes, the Creative Assembly have announced the next Total War title is going to be Rome II: Total War! Now we're heading back to the Romans to give them a makeover. Grenades may sometimes be tricky to use, but they can be a great factor in winning line infantry engagements.We've had Romans, Knights, Redcoats and Samurai. The grenadiers' signature ability, however, is their ability to throw grenades: short ranged, powerful explosives that have a dramatic effect on enemy morale. They have half the manpower of a Line Infantry regiment, and so should not be used to simply substitute line infantry however, they have superior melee statistics than line infantry and great to use in breaking up enemy lines. Like Line Infantry, grenadiers are armed with muskets. They are significantly cheaper to train and maintain than standard grenadiers.Īs a whole, grenadiers are a specialized support troop. Like Russian line infantry, they possess inferior reloading skills, accuracy and defense, but much better melee and charging characteristics.
Russian Grenadiers are similar to regular Grenadiers. Instead, each grenadier company became a “heavy mob” of the biggest and strongest soldiers in a regiment. Grenadier companies remained in line infantry regiments after the creation of grenadier regiments, but they abandoned grenades. All line infantry regiments had grenadier companies collecting these sub-units gave commanders a useful group of heavily armed, aggressive and skilful soldiers. Historically, grenadier regiments and battalions began as ad-hoc assault forces. Even their uniform makes them look bigger thanks to the pointed grenadier’s cap a tricorne gets in the way of a good throw. They have good reason: only large, brave men become grenadiers, because it takes a big man to throw one properly. Yet no matter how terrifying grenades are for the throwers, they are infinitely worse for the targets! Grenadiers see themselves as elite, and occupy the place of honor at the right of the line on parade. Fuses are notoriously unreliable, and grenadiers can die as their own bombs explode prematurely. Grenades are a simple cast iron ball, with a fuse sticking out of the top. These invaluable soldiers are armed with muskets and hold carrying bags containing small bombs that can be hurled at the enemy's ranks.Įxplosive grenades are one of the oldest types of gunpowder weapon, and one of the most dangerous to use. Grenadiers are grenadier type troops in Empire: Total War.
