Barbary Corsair

The Barbary Corsair (often shortened to Corsair) is a Heavy Infantry-type mercenary available to European and Asian civilizations on certain maps in Age of Empires III. For Asian civilizations, the Corsair is named the Repentant Corsair.

It attacks with a large scimitar - a curved sword used across the Arabic world - and uses flaming torches to attack buildings, like most other units. Because Corsairs are melee heavy infantry, they are best at fighting cavalry units and are fairly effective against other heavy infantry units. Corsairs can sometimes be hired from the Saloon or Monastery, and civilizations including the Portuguese, the Ottomans, and several others can ship them from the Home City.
