{{HeavyInfantryGeneralInformation}}

== Historical Description ==
Fusiliers were infantry soldiers armed with primitive flintlock muskets and bayonets. In the British Army, Fusiliers were elite units deployed to escort artillery units which were otherwise vulnerable to cavalry and infantry attack. Although the flintlock has since been supplanted by far superior weapons, the title of 'Fusilier' persists in some military units as an honorific. Unlike how they are used in DomiNations (when deployed troops scatter targeting and moving using A.I.), most armies deployed fusiliers by placing them side by side in 3 rows one in front of the other (length of each row varied on the size of the force, and commanders could join them together to surround an enemy force). As soon as the first row fired, they got on their knees began to reload as the second row aimed and fired. By the time the third row fired, the first row had reloaded and was ready to fire. By the 1770s, modernized versions of muskets only required 2 lines because they were faster to reload. This tactic was known as 'The Thin Red Line' first used by the British Redcoats.

==Visuals==
'''Mediterranean''': The uniform resembles an Italian mercenary grenadier. The fusilier wears a reddish-brown shirt with a silver grenadier hat. This soldier carries a musket with a straight bayonet.

'''North European''': Fusiliers wear a red coat which is the traditional colour of the British army and wear a tricone, or colonial hat and have a Brown Bess musket or baker rifle with a bayonet. This was the standard uniform and weapon used by British Fusiliers in the American War of Independence/Late 18th Century.

'''Oriental''': Wearing a traditional Chinese shirt (maybe in Ming Dynasty of China) and also have musket.

== Trivia ==
* Fusiliers are the first level of [[Heavy Infantry]] to have small ranged attack.
* Historically, Eastern Nations didn't have fusiliers, since flintlock weapons never reached Asia.They used matchlock muskets until the Europeans introduced modern firearms in the 19th Century.
* The word ''fusilier ''is derived from the ''fusil, ''which is the french name for a flintlock weapon.
