Hessian Jaeger

The Hessain Jaegr is the mercenary version of the skirmisher, doing extra damage, and has extra hitpoints. Hessain Jaegr's are effective against heavy infantry, such as musketeers and pikeman. They have high range, allowing them to hit and run shorter ranged heavy infantry units, and can also beat ranged cavalry such as dragoons and cavalry archers. The Hessain Jaegr can be obtained from the home city in ages 3 and 4, or built from a saloon depending on the game. The Jaegr shipment that some civs get in age 3 is a very good way of repelling large numbers of heavy infantry units.
