Gameplay

Like Ukraine, Scotland has a unique playing style compared to any other nation. Scotland received the same pricey balloon to disclose the map in the 17th century as Ukraine, but they cannot travel to the 18th century. Their artillery and fleet are average, and their cavalry is subpar, but their Army is where they excel.

Highlanders and Covenanters, who supported Scotland's de facto government during the English Civil War, comprise the two branches of Scottish infantry. Covenanters appear in the shape of pikemen and musketeers, and they train at the typical barracks you are familiar with from every other side. The Covenanter musketeer is reasonably conventional. However, the pikeman forgoes the armour that most other European pikemen had in favour of a faster assault rate, which makes them less effective at withstanding opposing fire but more effective in combat. They're still a good unit, and their hats are fantastic, so they get a pass in my book even though not having armour hurts, especially in the late Game when you can anticipate facing numerous powerful musket-armed troops.
