[[Category:Disambiguations]]
The Skirmisher is an anti-archer ranged [[unit]] similar to the [[slinger]] in [[Age of Empires]]. The [[infantry]] unit is very weak to most everything, but the archers.
 
 
== Age of Empires III==
 
The Skirmisher is a rifle-wielding light infantry unit that is similar to the [[Crossbowmen]]. The Skirmishers are weak because they have low hit points, but luckly their long-range makes up for that. The Skirmishers are very good units at countering and defeating enemy infantry, but they are worse against [[cavalry]] and [[artillery]].
 
 
== Real Info ==
 
The Skirmishers were infantry or even cavalry soldiers which were used ahead or alongside a much larger body of friendly troops. The Skirmishers were put in a skirmish line to harass the enemy or to protect their own troops from similar attacks by the enemy. The Skirmishers are usually lightly armoured so they could move around the battlefield quickly and have longer ranged firearms.
