Strategy

Hussars of Death are the unique unit of Chile revolution.

Chile is a revolution exclusive to the Spanish. Like most revolutions included in the Definitive Edition, picking it can be a finishing move, as Chile turns Settlers into Revolutionaries while shipping 8 Hussars of Death and improving already existing Hussars to Hussars of Death.

The Spanish should prefer Chile if they focus on spamming Hussars, due to the strength of unlocking Hussars of Death.

While revolts tend to be better on maps with water, because they often get infinite naval shipments and infinite Fort shipments (Forts have a powerful anti-ship attack), and Chile gets a lot of water-related cards, it faces heavy competition from Gran Colombia's strength on water. Thus, it is probably better to revolt into Gran Columbia instead of Chile in this situation.

Hussars of Death make Chile an excellent option for open maps, as their mobility and attack enables for fast raids against opponents' settlements. Chile also has access to Mapuche Bolas Riders shipments and can train them at the Stable and Native Embassy. Mapuche Bolas Riders' attack slows down enemy units and have multipliers against cavalry, which makes them a good complement for Chilean cavalry.

Chile could be the late-game strategy for a outlaw/mercenary strategy, as Salitrera makes good use of all the Estates likely to be built for that purpose. Additionally, it can include a normally trained unit, as Hussars of Death get all their unit upgrades for free. However, an outlaw/mercenary strategy is not common for the Spanish, and Chile is not available for civilizations known for strong mercenary strategies like the Germans.

Recommended shipments

• Advanced Arsenal: Improvements allowed by this shipment benefit the units Chile provides.
• Unction: Missionaries increase the attack of nearby units. This can boost the attack of Hussars of Death, Gatling Guns, Ironclads, Mapuche Bolas Riders, and Revolutionaries.
• TEAM Spanish Inquisition: All units get +10 Line of Sight, which will benefit Hussars of Death, Gatling Guns, Mapuche Bolas Warriors, Ironclads, and Revolutionaries.
• Hussar Shipments.
• Hand Cavalry Hitpoints: It benefits Hussars of Death.
• Hand Cavalry Attack: It benefits Hussars of Death.
• Hand Cavalry Combat: it benefits Hussars of Death.
• Native Warriors: Reduces the cost of native warriors, which applies to Mapuche Bolas Riders.
• Shipments which can make it quicker to Age up, so the Hussar of Death upgrade happens as quickly as possible.
  • 700 wood: Allows more Settler to be tasked to coin and food.
  • 700 coin
  • 1,000 wood: Allows more Settlers to be tasked to coin and food.

Recommended politicians

Commerce Age

• The Logistician: Exploration Age Home City Cards are shipped in 30 seconds; also ships 150 food, 100 wood, 75 coin. This can make for fast age advancements, and getting the shipments needed for preparing the Revolution early.
• The Naturalist: She gives an early economic boost that may be used for a fast Revolution strategy.
• The Philosopher Prince: Like The Naturalist, he can make for a fast age advancement.

Fortress Age

• The Scout: The Hussars provided will become Hussars of Death.

Industrial Age

• The Cavalry Marshal: Since Chile focuses on cavalry, this should be the politician of choice in the Industrial Age.
• The King's Musketeer: If the enemy makes units like Skirmishers or Falconets to counter the Musketeers, those units will be countered by the Hussars of Death.
