The most famous ashigaru to rise to prominence was Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the warrior turned powerful daimyo that spent the final years of the sixteenth century seeking to unite the disparate feudal warlords of Japan.Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition edition upgrades graphics, colors, and textures across the board, all the way up to 4K resolutions. Thus, the ashigaru quickly became indispensable. By equipping his many ashigaru with guns, a local daimyo could complement his samurai warriors with a constant and brutal ranged attack. The arquebus required very little training to operate properly, unlike the use of a bow, which was considered an art form. However, the status of the ashigaru evolved dramatically in the fifteenth century, following the introduction of European firearms to Japanese warfare. Because they essentially fought as contractors, the ashigaru often had to provide their own provisions and were not always as reliable as their commanders would have liked. They were the lowest class of warriors, commoners who were paid a stipend to enlarge a lord’s local army. The ashigaru, which means “light-foot” or lightly armored, filled a growing need for enlisted warriors.
This left the creation and training of armies once again in the hands of powerful local lords.
Other powerful musketeers include Indian Sepoys, British Redcoats, and Portuguese Guerreiros. The Spanish unction musketeers still remain the hardest hitting musketeer, but they have fewer hit points.
Note: Ashigaru were weakened in later patches, but remained one of the strongest and most expensive musketeer type units.
Something to note is that Ashigaru Musketeers have about twice the stats (not hit points) of a Russian Musketeer if they are fully improved. This is extremely effective since they only cost one population slot. Usually, Ashigaru stats can only be maxed out in treaty games. It is possible for Ashigaru to have around 500 hit points, 80 ranged attack, 140/70 attack against cavalry and Shock Infantry, all while maintaining a relatively cheap cost (with shogunate, native upgrades, and cost-lowering treasures) and good speed. It is possible for the Ashigaru to have around 140 hand attack to cavalry and slightly above 80 attack in ranged mode. Between the Golden Pavilion passive boost, the Golden Pavilion Arsenal improvements, the regular Arsenal improvements (acquired by allying with Dutch in the Consulate), the Ashigaru attack cards, the passive consulate boost, the Daimyo boost, and the Shogun boost, the Ashigaru can reach very high power in the early ages, making them difficult to counter.Īshigaru are quite powerful, however, they can become more powerful by stacking upgrades.

One of the advantages of the Ashigaru Musketeer is the upgrade stacking advantages it gets. Like most heavy infantry, Ashigaru can easily be countered by Skirmishers, archers and artillery. One thing to note is that they are less cost effective than regular Musketeers in terms of hit points and damage, but they have a higher speed to make up for it. Ashigaru Musketeers are a more expensive version of the regular Musketeer, with slightly more hit points, speed and ranged attack, but with noticeably less damage vs units in melee, including cavalry and shock infantry.
