Overview
Edit
The Cassador (Caçador, in Portuguese) is a light infantry unit similar to the Skirmisher, strong against heavy infantry but weak against cavalry and artillery.
Cassadors have far less health compared to the Skirmisher, but more than the Strelet. This weakness is compensated with a 50% ranged resistance (the highest out of any ranged infantry).
Although unlocked at the Fortress Age, a Portuguese player allied with a French player who has sent the TEAM Early Skirmisher card can train Cassadors in the Colonial Age. Like Skirmishers, Cassadors are at their base level and automatically upgrade into Veteran status upon reaching the Fortress Age.
UpgradesEdit
Cassadors benefit from Technologies found in the Arsenal, though better improvements for them are available at the Barracks once the player advances through the Ages.

History Edit
"The Cassador (also Cazador) was a Portuguese light infantry during the Napoleonic era. The name comes from the Portuguese word for hunter. They formed batallions consisting of five companies, four companies of Cassadores and one company of elite tiradores.
Cassadores in the nineteenth century wore brown uniforms and were armed with muskets or rifles. They carried brown backpacks and gray blankets. They wore stovepipe shako hats with prominent green plumes on the front."—In-game history section
Trivia Edit
The game files list these units as Cacadore. This may be because in Portuguese, the correct spelling is Caçador, which is pronounced like Cassador.
