Janissary (Civ5)

== Game Info ==
Unique front-line unit of the Ottoman civilization. Replaces the Musketman.
* Special abilities:
** (Non-Barbarian)
** 
== Strategy ==
The Janissary is a very dangerous unit, designed to always be on the offensive. Similarly to the Jaguar, a much earlier unit of the Aztecs, it will heal when it destroys a unit, but it also receives a combat bonus when attacking. Its heal ability also heals 50 HP upon killing a unit instead of the 25 HP for the Jaguar - albeit with the caveat that the Janissary's ability does not work against Barbarians.
Time your major offensives around the time the Janissary becomes available for a major advantage over your enemies and push until you've reached all objectives of your campaign! The Janissary's bonuses are promotions, and will be retained by any Janissary upgraded to a Rifleman.

== Trivia ==
* Debatably, the Ottoman Janissaries were the first musket-armed troops in human history. Though the Chinese invented gunpowder, the smallest gunpowder weapons they had were essentially bazooka-sized cannons.
