Light Infantry?

Post by OrangeRage »

I've been using Russia recently and when I shipped Team Calvary Scouts it doesn't give skirms/strelets or longbow (units you would think that are LI) the 10% hp increase for my teammate. I looked at the units and saw they don't have the Light Infantry tag.

What units actually have the light infantry tag?

Isn't that the card that buffs team cavalry line of sight and hitpoints? It won't affect light infantry if you send that card.

Light infantry means. Fast infantry which has the role of cav. Like coyote runner, tiger claw.

Skirm, strelet, lb. Are ranged infantry
Musks are both ranged and heavy infantry.

skirm and longbow are infantry, not light infantry
"light infantry"=cavalry
coyote=melee cavalry
eagle knight=ranged cavalry

coyote runner=light infantry+coyote=cav+melee cav
erk=eagle+light inf=cav+range cav
disciple, rattan shield=light inf=cav
tiger claw=light inf+inf=cav+inf

so tiger claw is both cavalry and infantry, but it's not melee cavalry.

pike counter all above.
dragoon counter coyote, but not disciple/rattan/tiger claw
skirm counter erk.
cannon/lancer counter tiger claw only.

Also you probably think that heavy infantry have hand bonus vs skirmishers and archers? This bonus is actually vs eagle knights, coyote runners, tiger claws, disciples and some others.
