While they are more proficient than Seymen with their muskets, they're less resistant to damage, and will often go down in one bullet. Musketmen work well in firing lines. Pairing them with archers may improve their lethality as the higher rate of fire from the bows can slow down infantry advances or interrupt opposing marksmen. Janissaries are even more effective when protected by cheap fodder troops, who will absorb enemy bullets.

They were formed by the Sultan Murad I from Christian boys levied through the devsirme system from conquered countries in the 14th century and was disbanded by the Sultan Mahmud II in 1826 due to the Auspicious Incident (a failed coup attempted by the janissaries against the Sultan). The Janissary Corps was distinctive in a number of ways: they were the first regular army to wear uniforms; marched to the music, the mehter, lived in barracks and used mainly firearms. In those aspects the janissaries can be seen as the precursor of the modern military system. Although the janissaries were bodyguards of the Ottoman Sultan, due to the fact that the Crimean Khanate was a protectorate of the Ottoman Empire, some janissary ortas (battalions) were sent to Crimea for protecting and policing the Empire's puppet nation.
