Russian empire

The Russian empire is a nation in warbanner

The Russian empire is a good nation to choose in this game, it has a great line infantry both at melee and ranged with an excellent defense, and a decent light infantry to pick up enemies from far away while the line infantry covers them

Preobrazhensky regiment
the Preobrazhensky regiment is a great line infantry that is good at both melee and range with an excellent defense, it can be trained by Russian empire players once they have a level 5 barracks, unlike the line infantry from other nations the Preobrazhensky regiment only takes 25 dwelling spaces, instead of 30, so you can fit more of them, they do have a drawback, they have only 23 range, while most of other national line infantry units have 25, so they will fire earlier, however, your high accuracy will be enought to compensate for this and destroy any other enemy line infantry in a prolonged ranged combat most of the time

Semyonovsky regiment
the Semyonovsky regiment is a national elite light infantry that can be trained by the Russian empire, this line has a long range, good accuracy and a bit slower than normal reload time (6 seconds), their ranged damage is well on pair with most other light infantry like voltigeur and minutemen, they carry 7 bullets and they deal 75 damage each, so if this soldiers are covered by the preobrazhensky regiment this elite light infantryman will surely be able to deal a lot of damage to the enemy untouched/before running out of ammo and going into melee, a spam of this light infantry often can deal a LOT of damage and destroy entire regiments of line infantry before they get to be able to shoot to the semyonovsky regiment soldiers

National bonus
the national bonus for Russia allows you to store 10% more troops, combined with that the preobrazhensky regiment only takes 25 dwelling spaces, makes that you usually are able to have really large quantities of troops and have them all ready for combat at the same time
