Tactics[] Armed with Wheelock Muskets of average-yet-decent firepower, they excel in firing lines - especially in tandem with their Eastern European counterparts - while their iconic Scottish Broadswords of above-average cutting and piercing power - as well as easily recognizable for their exquisitely decorated handguards - give them an unexpectedly fierce edge in melee combat. Protection-wise, however, Scottish Musketeers are weak to melee retaliation - especially from most types of cavalry - due to only wearing clothing in the form of unique plaid designated uniforms and berets. Mostly fielded by the Swedes, Scottish Mercenaries as a whole are somewhat redundant on their side but much more useful when occasionaly fielded by the Poles, offering a good melee soldier, a good pikeman, and a strong musketman - compared to standard Polish troops, they hit harder in melee and generally have more hitpoints, although at the expense of some skill values. 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.
