Nizam Fusiliers have similar statistics to Janissaries, which are also unique to the Ottomans. They do, however, move slightly faster than them, have different multipliers in ranged attack and different type of resistance.
They have a 20% siege resistance like Wagons, Travois and Rickshaws. This makes them much durable against artillery fire and units like Grenadiers, Abus Guns, Arsonists, and Huaracas, but also slightly vulnerable to all ranged units and melee units.
Unit stance modifications[]
When Nizam Fusiliers are assigned to different unit stances, their ranged attack multipliers and range changes.
In the Volley Mode, they have 12 range and x2.0 multiplier vs. Infantry.
In the Stagger Mode, they have 12 range and x2.0 multiplier vs. Artillery and Siege units.
In the Melee Mode, they have x2.5 vs. Cavalry and x1.8 vs. Shock Infantry multipliers. Their base multipliers are only x2.0 vs. Cavalry and x1.5 vs. Shock Infantry, however, this is increased by +0.5 vs. Cavalry and +0.3 vs. Shock Infantry when the New Order Infantry technology is researched.
In the Defend Mode, they have 12 range, x2.0 multiplier vs. Cavalry and x1.6 multiplier vs. Shock Infantry.
In Stand Ground, they have 15 range and no multipliers.
Strategy[]
By using the Mosque Construction card, the unique Mosque technologies become 60% cheaper, including the ones after sending Palace Intrigue card. The New Order Infantry technology will now give 15 Nizam Fusiliers and also converts all Janissary shipments to Nizam Fusilier shipments for 1,000 wood instead of 2,500 wood. Upon reaching the Industrial Age, it is also possible to research Topcu Corps to get 3 Great Bombards for 600 food instead of 1,500 food, which becomes very powerful when combined with Nizam Fusiliers.

History[]
“
Following devastating defeats at the hands of Russia and Austria, the Sultan Selim III (1761-1807) realized that the once-mighty Ottoman army required reforming to remain on par with that of its rivals. Modern drilling and the use of bayonets were among the improvements made to these new Ottoman infantry units; however, this new corps was soon engaged in a bitter rivalry with the Janissaries, elite troops of the Ottoman Empire. While this internal strife occasionally affected morale and caused violent incidents, the Nizam corps were more effective than their predecessors, even if they could not fully turn the tide against the Empire’s powerful enemies.
