Highlander

A Highlander is a powerful Scottish mercenary that is featured in Age of Empires III.

Overview
The Highlander is a ranged infantry unit from Scotland that uses a musket and in gameplay is a stronger version of the Musketeer. The Highlander can be shipped from the Home City or purchased in the Saloon. In the campaign mode of Age of Empires III the Highlander is available to the Knights of St. John in Act I: Blood. Like the Musketeer, Highlanders are solid ranged units that are effective against cavalry and decent against heavy infantry. Highlanders are more effective against infantry then their counterparts simply because they have such high damage. However they are still vulnerable to light infantry who can outrange them.

The British can also send out eight Highlanders called Black Watch from the Church if the Church card was sent out for a cost of 1000 food. If Highlanders are attained in the saloon their names changes from Highlanders to Black Watch as well.

In-game dialogue language
The Highlanders speak Scottish Gaelic, a Celtic language. Morgan Black also speaks these words.
