—In-game description

The Sansculotte is a variant of the Coureur des Bois unique to Revolutionary France with the following differences:

• Costs reduced by 16% and train time by 40% (100 food and 16.8 sec.).
• Building rate reduced by 33% (0.8/sec.)
• Gather rates are reduced:
  • 1.5 food per second from Livestock
  • 0.7 food per second from huntables
  • 0.6 food per second from Berry Bushes
  • 0.5 food per second from Mills and Cherry Orchards
  • 0.5 wood per second from trees
  • 0.66 coin per second from mines
  • 0.4 coin per second from Estates
• Since the Sansculotte doesn't have a villager tag, they can't receive gather rate improvements other than from their specific cards.
• Has -25% hit points (135), increased melee and ranged damage, ×2.0 multiplier against Heavy infantry* and ×1.5 multiplier against defensive buildings.
