This is an informative post.
So I was just playing 1806 conquest when I noticed that these troops where actually quite good. Whilest on defense, I noticed that these took half the damage that a militia would while defending. They are the commandos which british possess. So what are they good for?
Defending cities. As the ai loves to spam cavarly, these units can be quite a game changer. They have a price tag slightly less than that of grenadiers but they have medium armor (better defense) and slightly more hp than them. But where the highlanders truly shine is they are capable of halving a light cavarly’s health while barely taking a scratch. Leave them on cities in stead of militia and their defense won’t dissappoint. Also, they have the same population capacity as militia.
In my opinion, they are rather great units to substitute for militia. Their best qualities are that they are much stronger but come at a slightly higher cost.

Essentially, they are elite infantry, but have the capability to construct trenches and naval guns as well. They also do slightly more damage to light armored units. A steal if you ask me |

A steal if you ask me another great thing about this troop is they only occupied 4 units so instead using mlita to defend.highlanderbisva better alternative |

That would be legendary. Yeah they are kind of pointless as it takes like 8 or 9 turns total to capitulate brazil in the 1815 conquest. |

In their territory, they cannot be demoralized but they are nothing more than militia with slightly better stats elsewhere. Plus, this ability does not seem to benefit you if a demoralize is scripted. |
