Mobile cavalry or even infantry can escape from grenades with few casualties. As the grenades detonate a few seconds after they are thrown, however, they are a poor option against rapidly moving targets. Grenades may be "reloaded" much more quickly than muskets, and properly micro-managed grenadiers can quickly destroy even the stoutest of regiments.
A single well-aimed volley of grenades can kill dozens of enemy soldiers. However, their true strengths lie in their ability to throw grenades. In their normal firing mode, grenadiers fire their muskets like standard line infantry, albeit with marginally better accuracy and speed.
Grenadiers are extremely powerful infantry units capable of quickly wearing down their enemy's ranks. Although excellent musketeers and formidable melee fighters, their small unit size can place them at a disadvantage when confronted by larger cavalry and line infantry units. Available relatively early on in the game, their performance can be mixed. Grenadiers are a type of infantry in Empire: Total War and Napoleon: Total War.Īrmed with unexceptional muskets, they carry their namesake grenades, crude explosives which can be thrown a short distance.
