While Giant Grendiers are available as one of the random selected mercenaries to be trained at the mercenary buildings ( Tavern, Saloon, Lombard, Monastery, or Palace), the Swedes can train them from the Barracks, Galleon, and Blockhouse if the player sends the "Contract Giant Grenadiers" Home City Card. If possible, artillery like Falconets or Heavy Cannons help Giant Grenadiers in siege against buildings. Additionally, they should be combined with melee cavalry to take down ranged infantry or artillery that can defeat Giant Grenadiers. However, they can be taken down by long-ranged infantry like Skirmishers, Foot Archers, and artillery.ĭue to being expensive, it is recommended to have a steady economy that allows the player to train Giant Grenadiers constantly. In comparison, Giant Grenadiers have higher melee attack and melee resistance, higher siege attack at longer range, and train slightly slower than Soldados, but cost only coin, and their ranged attack causes splash damage, which makes them effective to take down large groups of units. It is similar to the Soldado due to being tagged as a Musketeer-type unit and a grenade trooper. It is effective against cavalry and shock infantry in melee combat, but vulnerable against light infantry and artillery. The Giant Grenadier is a heavy ranged infantry.
