Demesne Arquebusiers are a silver era arquebusier ranged infantry unit.

In-Game Description

In a similar fashion to the crossbow, the handgun became popular with mercenary companies due to the simplicity of its use compared to a longbow and its superior lethality against armoured targets. While large units consisting only of arquebusiers are unheard of while cavalry are still a threat, it is common for pikemen to discard their own weapons and to pick up the firearms of fallen comrades.

Acquisition

Demesne Arquebusiers can be unlocked from the ranged infantry unit tree, where they cost 7500 honour to unlock after prerequisites. This cost can be partially or fully defrayed using up to 20x Demesne Arquebusier's Signaculum.
