With few exceptions, they are inferior only to elite infantry, but such units are usually limited to only a few regiments. Together with Shogunate Infantry and Republican Infantry, imperial infantry represent the best non-limited line infantry available to most factions where they are available.
However the Snider Enfield was a breech loading rifle, as well as this it used self-contained cartridges and these factors consecutively reduced reloading time for soldiers.Īs their name suggests, imperial infantry are available only for factions with Imperial allegiance.

The cartridges for the rifle were waxed, to keep out the damp, but rumour had it that they were greased with pig and beef fat, violating the religious strictures of Muslim and Hindu alike.

The Enfield was issued by the British East India Company to its troops, including Indian Sepoys. It’s most destructive and disruptive moment, however, had nothing to do with a battlefield. It was used in great numbers by both sides in the American Civil War and, after artillery, probably caused more casualties than any other weapon in that conflict. The rifle was made in large numbers for the British Army, allies, and almost any foreign customers who had the money.

Imperial infantry are reasonably useful in close combat but, like all infantry, are vulnerable to being overrun by cavalry if left in a poor tactical position. They are capable of reloading quickly, and have good morale as a result of their training. They are well-versed in modern weaponry, and can deliver accurate, sustained, and damaging fire with their rifles. These men carry European arms and equipment, and have been trained by European military advisors, although they are usually commanded by Japanese officers when in action.
