—In-game description

The Mounted Granadero is a revolutionary unit in Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition that is available to Argentina. Mounted Granaderos can be trained once the card Granaderos has been sent.

Overview

Mounted Granadero is a combination of the mobility of a cavalry unit and the splash attack of the Grenadier. In comparison with foot Grenadiers:

• Mounted Granaderos are cheaper
• Have worse siege attack
• Have more resistance against ranged attacks
• Have more hitpoints
• Have more speed and mobility
• The Grenade Launchers card doesn't benefit them

They benefit from the Folk Heroes technology.

In-game dialogue

The Mounted Granadero reuses the Spanish Hussar dialogue:

• Sí (Yes)
• Preparado (Ready)
• ¿Qué me ordena? (What is my order?)
• ¡Sí! (Yes!)
• Lo haré (I’ll do it)
• Voy a hacerlo (I’m going to do it)
• ¡Al ataque! (Attack!)
• ¡A las armas! (To arms!)
• ¡Sí! (Yes!)

Trivia

• Mounted Granaderos are based on Argentinian Regimiento de Granaderos a Caballo. They used sabres and lances, not grenades. As most grenadier units, their name referred to an elite corps rather than the weapon, which was phased out in grenadier units.
• The Mounted Granaderos were incorrectly announced as "Granaderos" in the release day changelog page. However, since the Definitive Edition beta the unit has been called Mounted Granadero, and simply name it "Granadero" could cause confusion in players that play the game with the Spanish language, as the Grenadier's translation for that language is Granadero.
