Infantry in the Empire is most important of all land units.

Basically, we can divide it into two types - smaller and larger.

Smaller is when in a one regiment is 80 people (for example Austrian Pandours or American Rangers).

In larger units we have 160 to 200 men - depends on the nation.

The most popular representative of this key in of troops is Line Infantry.

At the beginning give a shot to set them parallel to the line of your troops.

PC

As a matter of fact all of the soldiers will be at the same distance from the enemy.

With many contingents, you will notice that the line of soldiers is quite long.

Sometimes in the middle of the line is good to have 2 or even 3 regiments.

PC

On the wings you could keep them loosely or just group them in pairs.

This will be very important when the fight will be close to the end.

Go very slowly and wisely in the direction of the enemy infantry.

PC

The range of your units is gently marked on the battlefield.

When your people will be in the shooting range, stop them.

Infantry will start the fire.

PC

Soldiers with bayonets in square formation are pretty good with the cavalry.

At the beginning of the game you could use pikemen and deploy them on the wings.
