Grenadier

A Grenadier is a Light Artillery Unit that is featured in Age of Empires III. They can be trained at the Artillery Foundry in the Colonial Age though they are not considered artillery.

Overview
The Grenadiers are a type of fairly expensive light artillery which acts as a very weak artillery piece though they are not considered true artillery for purposes of damage multipliers on units like Culverins. The Grenadier is effective at destroying buildings early since they have fairly high hitpoints and a high siege attack. They are also effective against groups of heavy infantry like Halberdiers and Pikemen due to their area of effect attack of three (four with Incendiary Grenades). Due to their heavy infantry classification they are easily dispatched by units with high multipliers versus heavy infantry or infantry, such as true artillery.
