—In-game description

The Jagunço is a revolutionary outlaw in Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition that is unique to Brazil.

Overview

Technically, a Jagunço's base cost is 120 coin, but the only card which unlocks training them also changes the cost to food.

It looks like a Comanchero, but is armed with a rifle, making it more similar to a Rifle Rider.

Upgrades

The Jagunço upgrades in the Industrial Age and Imperial Age if the Wild West technology is researched, and when revolting into Argentina or Brazil, if the Folk Heroes technology is researched.

• +30% hit points and damage
• +50% hit points and damage
• +30% hit points and damage

Civilization differences

• Argentina and the Maya can also get Jagunços through the "Outlaw Band" (for Argentina) and "Bandit Gang" (for Maya) Home City Cards, which are included in the pool of random outlaws shipped.

In-game dialogue

The Jagunço speaks Portuguese using the Organ Gun's dialogue files.

Trivia

• Even though the in-game rider uses the Pistolero model with a different hat and coat, Jagunço reuse the Comanchero's icon and horse model.
• Before an update, the Jagunço's in-game name was written with a C instead of the correct cedilla.

History

Jagunços are fugitive criminals or people with a violent background who lent themselves into the service of influential people such as farmers and politicians to provide protection and security of their estates and slaves. Consequentially, jagunços are often sheltered from the law enforcement by their employers. Their name is taken from the Portuguese zarguncho which refers to a short lance-like weapon of African origin.

The term would later become, in northeastern Brazil, a synonym for cangaço.
