“ | Cruzob Musketeer that counters cavalry from range | ” |
—In-game description |
The Cruzob Infantry is a heavy infantry in Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition that is unique to the revolutionary Maya.
Overview[]
The Cruzob Infantry is Musketeer-type unit of the Maya. It is similar to the Guard Carolean, slightly different in statistics. The Cruzob Infantry has high base damage and hit points, and benefits more from team Home City Cards and native technologies than ordinary infantry units.
Revolting to the Maya turns all Soldados and Revolutionaries into Cruzob Infantry, which have less hit points and damage than Veteran Soldados, but only cost 1 population. Since Soldados are more expensive and stronger than Cruzob Infantry, it may result in a loss if there are many Soldados when revolting into Maya.
