Town Cossacks are regional mercenary archers of the Cossack Hetmanate and the Polish Commonwealth. They can be hired in Lviv, Krakov, Minsk, and Slutsk.
Tactics[]
Generally armed with muskets and sabers, they are useful in a firing line - on par with Zaporozhian Infantrymen - and competent in melee combat.
