—In-game description |
Ranged Cavalry Caracole is a technology in Age of Empires III that can be researched by European civilizations at the Arsenal; Haudenosaunee and Lakota can also research it at the Longhouse and the Teepee respectively once the New Ways Home City Card has been sent. Once researched, it increases the attack of ranged cavalry by 10% as well as their range by 2.
Range is essential for any ranged unit, so any civilization using Dragoons or similar will want to purchase this upgrade when possible.
Since the Definitive Edition, Ranged Cavalry Caracole also increases the range of special abilities of light ranged cavalry (such as Bull's Eye of the Cowboy and Musket Attack of the Berber Camel Rider) by 2, and increases the range of ranged heavy cavalry (e.g. Harquebusier) in Defend Mode by 2.
