Although no better than base fanatics whipped up to a frenzy by inflammatory sermons, Tabór Gunners should by no means be sneered at by more gentle folk. These men, although easily as weak as any religious extremists may be, are however armed with crude arquebuses, making them extremely deadly against melee units, in particular cavalry and heavy infantry. They may not be as strong as other unique gunpowder infantry units, or have the cost advantage afforded by Chinese matchlocks, but they have one advantage: the ability to boost the attack of neighbouring units, like religious fanatics do.
