The Cassador is a unique Portuguese unit that is featured in Age of Empires III . They are able to be trained at the Barracks, Galleon or Fort starting at the Fortress Age. They function as the Portuguese version of the Skirmisher, sacrificing hitpoints for attack. Because of their high attack power and anti-infantry bonus, they can pretty much tear apart most infantry, especially heavy infantry. But be careful, as they are extremely weak to any types of cavalry. Surrounding them with a wall of musketeers and pikemen is a good idea as it will keep your cassador safe inside while they keep shooting.

They start the game alredy as Veterans and can be upgraded into Guard Cassadores at Industrial Age and further upgrade into Imperial Cassadores at Imperial Age. They benefit from such improvements as Counter Infantry Rifling from Arsenal which make them do more damage to heavy infantry.
