Corselet[sic] is a technology in Age of Empires III that is unique to the Spanish and Knights of St. John, although the latter only have access to it in Act I: Blood, and can be researched at the Church once the Royal Decree to Claim the New World Home City Card has been sent. Once researched, it increases the hit points of all heavy infantry by 25% but reduces their speed by 15%.
