As the original game, The Native Empires will focus on developing the American Indians theme. It will feature new playable native civilizations, as well as new European and minor civs and a whole new African continent to colonize. This mod aims to add fitting content without significally changing the gameplay and the overall feel of the game. The emphasis is not on adding the most to the game, but rather on adding the best: with nothing missing and nothing out of place.
Schutter, Dutch musketeer, unit showcase
This musketeer-type unit is unique to the Dutch, as they do not have a musketeer. However, Schutters are only available in the Fortress Age, and are less universal. The unit is similar to the Fusilier due to the high ranged attack and mediocre anti-cavalry attack in close combat. Schutters keep the game balanced by usually being insufficient for a winning unit combination, but at the same time being situationally good.
