Using 17c Musketeers in PT30 Game

17c Musketeers are the units that most of players don't use for two reasons. One of the reasons is the long production speed that it takes to build each unit. All the 17c muskets need at least 8gt to build them (Exception of Dutch Musketeer) and you can only make two 17c barracks in the pt30 game (For Turkey, 3~4). This makes the army size smaller than that of an opponent, which will give them advantage. However, if you consider the advantage of attacking the enemy from the distance, there should be a way to use them. So I would figure out haw to use this advantage effectively in this article.

 

Choosing the Nations

Well I would say that it is impossible to use Austrian Musketeer. Why? Because it has high building time, and its armor isn't effective as Spanish musketeers. Spanish musketeers are quite valuable because it has the defense against the shot of 5, and has HP of 85, which will make it stronger against merc dragoons. Personally I like to use Dutch Musketeer or Janissary. Both of them can be produced quite a lot of numbers (Turkey can build more Barracks), the Dutch Musketeer has the best attacking rate of all the 17th century musketeers in the game, Janissary has the best attack of all the 17c Muskets. The Musket with the best HP and the defense is the Spanish musketeers so use those three when you want to use musketeers.
