Mounted Nizam I Cedit NTW Icon

Mounted Nizam-I Cedit are a type of mounted infantry in Napoleon: Total War.

Description[]

Armed with muskets and swords, these soldiers are can fight mounted and on foot.

The primary duty of the mounted Nizam-I Cedit is to harass the enemy and pick off important individuals within their ranks. The speed provided by their mounts mean these men can reach areas of the battlefield significantly quicker than their counterparts on foot. However, their speed and versatility is no protection if they find themselves in close combat; if pitted against line infantry they will suffer heavy losses.

Historically, the mounted Nizam-I Cedit were known as the Neferi Nizam-I Cedit, or the 2nd Orta provincial militia. Shortly after being raised, the 1st Orta felt the wrath of the British Ambassador, who was angered by the fact that the units of this new model army were issued with French instead of British muskets! His displeasure was the least of their problems. Although sanctioned by the sultan, the modernisation of the army was met with hostility from Ottoman traditionalists. The bayonet, for example, was a serious bone of contention: many chose to see it as a way of reducing proud warriors to little more than parts in a machine.

General Information[]

Mounted Nizam-I Cedit are missile cavalry for the Ottoman Empire, providing the dual roles of supporting firepower and conventional cavalry. Like most other missile cavalry, their melee stats are lackluster compared to dedicated melee cavalry, but their ranged capabilities grant them flexibility, and they have larger-than-average regiment sizes to make up for their poorer stats. Compared to other missile cavalry, Mounted Nizam-I Cedit are nearly identical to Swedish Mounted Jagers, but have the added advantage of being resistant to heat fatigue. Of all the missile cavalry, Mounted Nizam-I Cedit have arguably the best killing power at range, are poorer in melee than Russian Mounted Rifles, and are overall statistically inferior to French Chasseurs à Cheval but have more men per regiment.
