Finnish Harquebusier (veteran) Upgrade Cost ? thalers XP for Kill ? experience Ransom Value ? thalers Finnish Harquebusiers are regional mercenary archers of the Kingdom of Sweden. They can be hired in Koenigsberg and Riga. Tactics[] Armed with Matchlock Muskets, their firepower is no better than militia marksmen's and will easily get out-ranged by regular and elite ones - unlike them, however, Finnish Harquebusiers have superior training, armor, and melee weaponry, making them formidable melee combatants best used in sieges or in wagon forts, where they can support pikemen and musketeers in close-quarters combat. Stats and Equipment[] Note: Troops have a set of default stats; at the beginning of a new game, these stats are randomly adjusted for each type of troop. The following is the default set for this troop as seen within the game code and may not reflect the specific stats you will see during actual gameplay. For more information, see troop stats.

Due to their name, they most likely hail from Finland, which was part of the Swedish Empire during the game's setting.
