Game Info
The Janissary is a highly trained Ottoman version of the musketeer. Though the Janissary is slow of marching the soldiers are strong against cavalry, but they are not much of a use against artillery and light infantry.

The Janissary also formed the Ottoman sultan's household troops and bodyguard. The force originated in the 14th century and it was abolished by Sultan Mahmud II in 1826 in The Auspicious Incident.
