For example, medics can heal players while holding the “E” key. Every class serves a specific purpose, so it is important to have an understanding of them. Some Classes can be very essential in taking over Enemy territory, while others are designed to protect other players and keep them from dying. COMMAND Army Infantry Officer The infantry officers govern the course of battles on land. They are able to issue Orders to gather their troops into firing lines, and provide bonuses to men who follow them. Naval Captain The captain rules the soggier side of the battlefield, commanding a ship and her crew to do his bidding. They have priority over steering ships. RANK & FILE Line Infantry The stalwart line infantryman. Armed with a musket and bayonet, he is motivated by the orders of the Officers. Guards The guards are the elite infantry of the ranks. Their primary job is to guard the command, helping them survive where the common man may fall. Their additional training makes them unparalleled combatants in melee. Grenadiers The grenadiers are the largest of the soldiers, able to take far more punishment in melee than their fellow men. As a result, they are also highly proficient in melee combat. SKIRMISHER Light Infantry The light infantry classes move at a greater speed than the rest of the player classes, able to outpace lines to reach tactical positions. Rifleman The Rifleman class is the sharpshooter of the game, demonstrating deadly accuracy compared to their musket wielding peers. Customs Customs are the light infantry of the sea, able to swim and run at a greater pace to reach an optimum position to take shots at the enemy. SUPPORT Artillery Artillery are the heavy hitters of the battlefield. While their numbers may be low they have the ability to crush entire lines in one shot. This class requires patience and experience to master. Cavalry Swift and deadly, the cavalry charge can sway the battle for one faction to another. Their mastery of the horse and skill with the Sword and Carbines allow them to confront any enemy on the field. Crewman These veteran sailors instill fear in all landlubbers. They can swim any distance in record time. Equipped with a cutlass or pike, these men are not to be messed with.
