Cassadores have 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 Cassadores in the Colonial Age. Like Skirmishers, Cassadores are at their base level and automatically upgrade into Veteran status upon reaching the Fortress Age.
"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."
