The Lithuanian Musketeer is a gunpowder marksman soldier fielded by the Polish Commonwealth. As Regional Mercenaries, they can be hired in Warsaw, Polotsk and Kovno Fortress.
Hailing from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, these Lithuanian Musketeers are a short step above their Zolnier comrades, as they wear tegilai armor instead of standard Polish hadjuks. However, their weapons and training is virtually identical to the Zolniers.
Veterans are slightly superior to standard Lithuanian Musketeers in training, making them slightly more accurate and deadly in melee combat. However, equipment is largely unchanged.
Tactics[]
As they are marksmen, Lithuanian Musketeers should be arranged in a firing line, to maximize their killing potential. Their muskets, Wheelocks or Simple Wheelocks, are identical to the Zolniers, and as such share their firepower, which is adequate. They also wield identical melee weapons: sabers.
However, they are hardier than the Zolniers in melee combat, as they wear tegilai armor, superior to the hadjuk clothes donned by the Zolniers. Another bonus is that they have the same amount of wages, at 4 thalers. This makes them a cost effective and slightly superior version of the Zolniers. But, even though they fare better in melee, they are still as weak to cavalry (especially heavy cavalry) as their Zolnier compatriots.
