Background

The U.S. had 10 companies of low firerate riflemen in the Revolutionary War. Their main role was to pick off officers and cannon operators at long range. Before this, there was the Kentucky Long Rifle developed in the early 1700s, which had a range of 200 yards and was used for hunting and markmanship.

Mod Content - For Multiplayer and Skirmish battles

I think it would be great if Revolutionary War riflemen could be added to the Diplomatic Centre. They could be hired by any country with access to a Diplomatic Centre, once they have progressed to the 18th century. They would have a long training time, high cost and slow firing rate but would be deadly at long range, doing upto several hundred damage per shot.

If the U.S. / Thirteen Colonies were added to Cossacks by mod or DLC, they could have Revolutionary War Riflemen as an equivalent unit to Scottish Highlanders, once reaching the 18th Century. The English could be used as a placeholder for US buildings and units.
