CHARACTERS
General Mykhalio
Rumored to be the leader of the USC forces encroaching on Calradia. Not much is known about this man, except that he is a ruthless and cunning foe. His name is thought
to mean 'God' or 'Divine' as, some (very roughly) translated texts seemd to hail him as a eternal leader.
TROOPS
USC Pistolleer
The basic soldier of the USC. Armed with a variety of pistols, and a classic Infantry Saber. Poor shooting skills, but much deadlier if used in great numbers or at close range.
USC Lineman
The backbone of the USC. Outfitted with a array of weapons and a saber. Decent shooting skills, devastating when used in a volley format.
USC Grenadier
The main assualt troops of the USC. Trained to use more direct tactics, and get closer to the enemy before shooting, uses slugshots and other shortange weapons.
USC Sharpshooter
Extremely skilled veterans of the USC. Armed with accurate muskets and rifles, very dangerous if used wisely, deadly if used in large numbers.
USC Hussar
Basic cavalry of the USC. Not greatly skilled but useful for their speed and strength against light infantry.

EQUIPMENT
Weapons with a aterisk by them are limited by the game engine and do not have all features described
USC L29P (aka. USC Light Pistol)
Lightweight flintlock pistol. Medium accuracy but with a smaller slug, lower stopping power and often made out of less then reliable materials.
USC S54P (aka. USC Standard Pistol)
Medium weight flintlock pistol. Medium accuracy with standard issue pistol slug, medium stopping power and usually made out of average materials.
USC H12P (aka. USC Heavy Pistol) *
Heavy weight flintlock pistol. Lower accuracy then its lighter counterparts, and a large caliber pistol slug. High stopping power but requires the use of a
modified chamber system. Made out of thick metal, known for its tendency to jam with bad conditions.
USC O3P (aka. USC Officer's Pistol) *
Medium weight flintlock pistol. High accuracy and a modified shaped projectile, giving it lower stopping power but extra chance to damage vital organs. Made
from high quality metals and known for a stubborn reliability not shared by most other guns.
USC HA6A (aka. USC Militia Handgonne)
Bulky handgonne used by many militia because of its cheap make. Low accuracy and a ineffective and primitive slug version. Low stopping power but very useful
at close range. Made of wood and iron, prone to wear and tear, not reliable at all.
USC MA43A (aka. USC Matchlock Arquebuse)
More standard arquebuse. Used by many infantry, low accuracy that is often shared by most Arquebuse. Medium stopping power and made out of decent
materials, but difficulty to reload.
USC L35SS (aka. USC 'Drake' Slugshot) *
A specialized version of the classic arquebuse, thickened chamber and sturdy build make it rather heavy compared to other guns. It uses a hollow ball with many
iron balls just inside. On contact with a enemy the balls burst from their fragile container, tearing flesh and armor alike. Unfortunately due to the erratic nature of
the projectile it can often burst before contact, rendering the range very short. Very low accuracy but great stopping power. Because of the type of projectile
the weapons is naturally well built. Used popularly by assault troops, because of the total uselessness at any medium distance.
USC H21SS (aka. USC 'Hydra' Slugshot) * (does have four shots)
A exotic modified version of the L35SS, called a Hydra Slugshot popularly by many troops because of the multi-chamber system. Uses a revolving quadruple barrel.
Much heavier than even the drake Slugshot because of the extra barrels. Load time is drastically increased, and the stopping power and size of the slugs is reduced,
causing it to have overall lower damage potential. Hollow Slugs are much smaller, with less balls in inside, although this increases accuracy to a extent. Very expensive
and well built, because of the complex nature of the gun, it needs high quality materials.
USC SOBS2 (aka. USC 'Sharpshot' Longbarrel)
Fairly accuracte version of a late musket early rifle. Unfortunately this weapon is greatly complicated an extremely unreliable.
Ironically, it is only kept around because it is cheaper then more reliable version, and it is more likely to hit the target than
other guns. The rather dubious name is blamed on the rather dubious company with originally fielded the weapon.
USC SB2AQ (aka. USC Smoothbore Arqet) *
A unreliable combination of new musket technology and older arquebuse, which is where it gets its name. Medium weight, with improved accuracy then a normal
arquebuse, slightly higher stopping power but increased chance for the powder fail to ignite correctly, and mud jams to happen with aggravating frequency.
