In fact it is good to have them in your army.
They can hide very well on the battlefield and they are quite cheap.
The other thing is that, in my opinion, they can better guard conquer Indian tribes.
Nizam-I Cedit Infantry
Description:European Doctrine needed.
It is very similar to the line infantry and it will be good at the battlefield.
It should be a base of your army.
Armies:Ottoman Empire
Nizam-I Cedit Light Infantry
Description:European Doctrine needed.
It is a copy of European light infantry.
They have the longer shooting range than the line infantry and they are able to deploy stakes.
Quite good unit if it is used as a support for line infantry units.
Nizam-I Cedit Rifles
Description:European Doctrine i Machined Rifling needed.
Similar to Rangers from the European army.
They have good accuracy and great reloading time and shooting range.
They are very useful to kill some infantry units and charging cavalry.
They cannot fight in close combat.
Pikemen
Description:they are very useful with the charging cavalry.
Unfortunately they cannot fight with musketeers.
In addition they have less defense points that colonial pikemen.
That’s why it is so important to equip other units with bayonets.
Pikemen have to been replaced with more universal shooting units.
They can hide in grass but even that ability cannot help them.
They can be deployed in cities as peace keepers.
Armies:Austria
Prussian Jaegers
Description:Machined Rifling needed.
They are typical shooters.
The have very good accuracy, reloading time and shooting range.
They can be used to kill infantry units and charging cavalry.
They are very poor in close combat ( do not charge with them).
They don’t use bayonets, so they won’t be able to fight in close combat.
They are good if you want to use them as a reinforcement for your border army.
The disadvantage of this unit is a maximum number of regiments that you may have in your army.
If you have a lot of money you could make a run at train them.
This unit is great in shooting.
The have very good accuracy and short time of reloading.
In addition shooting range is tremendous.
The only flaw is close combat abilities - they cannot fight in this way.
Good accuracy and short time of reloading is also significant.
Unfortunately they are expensive and they have a limit of maximum number of regiments in the army.
Semenys
Description:very poor unit.
Sepoys
Description:sepoys are very similar line infantry.
They have slightly lower stats and price.

As a matter of fact you will have to chose between them and VOC infantry.
Choose them if you want to save some money.
They don’t use bayonets, so they won’t be able to fight in close combat.
Armies:Russia
The Black Watch
Description:very good and numerous infantry.
They have better stats than line infantry: effective in close combat, proper shooting range and reloading time.
The next thing is that they have very high morale (that can influence nearby allies).
Only one flaw: very expensive.
Armies: Great Britain
Tirailleurs

Tirailleurs are typical shooters.
The have very good shooting range, great reloading time and accuracy.
These stats must be balanced with average abilities of fighting in melee combat.
VOC Infantry

If you like infantry then VOC soldiers are ideal for you.
If you do not have enough cash, then you be interested in cheaper sipays.
Windbuchse Jaegers

Similar to Jaegers - not so numerous but with slightly better stats.
Unfortunately they are much more expensive than them.
In addition they are available at the end of the campaign.
