The Counter Infantry Rifling improvement is an improvement available from the Fortress Age out of the Arsenal that increases Skirmisher and like units bonus against Heavy Infantry by one, normally from 2 to 3, offering a 50% increase in damage against Heavy Infantry, changing Light Infantry units to effective against Heavy Infantry to being able to slaughter Heavy Infantry. The improvement is incredible powerful and is a must in mid Fortress to be able to effectively counter Musketeer units, and can be game changing. Be careful if your opponent has this improvement to keep your Heavy Infantry out of range of their Light Infantry units.
