Classes (Expeditions: Conquistador)

Classes in Expeditions: Conquistador determine to which skills an NPC has access to from the start and may gain later and it sets the scores of properties such as movement, damage and the starting scores for tasks. This is different from Expeditions: Viking, in which the score in five primary stats determines to which skills characters have access to and determines the score of secundary stats.

Legend[]

Leader skill bonus: every expedition members gives a +2 bonus in the specific skill.

bo: bow
bl: blowgun

Skills[]

Every unit has access to these three basic skills which can be used during combat. Only shamans and scouts can't use Interruption due to not having access to ranged weapons.

Name	Effect	Action
Tactical Retreat	Allows the unit without setting of traps or triggering attacks of opportunity.	Attack
Interrupt	When the unit is wielding a ranged weapon, interrupt allows the unit to attack the enemy when they are within six hexes ranged of the unit.	Attack
Spot traps	Allows the unit to spot traps and still use an attack action, but this will half the amount of current movement hexes available.

Officer skills[]

While any class can become a sergeant or even a leuitenant, the amount of expeditions members that can gain these ranks are limited to two and one unit respectively. These rank give the Capitán also a bonus of +3 and +8 (3+5) to leadership when expeditions members are healthy and present in the expedition. This is the only way to boost leadership and increase the maximum possible morale for expedition members.

Image	Name	Effect	Action	Cooldown
	Smokebomb (Sergeant)	Smokescreen gives an unit standing in the middle of the smoke partial cover for ranged attacks. The smoke will stay for three turns.	Attack	3 turns
	Rally (Leuitenant)	All allied units move three hexes toward the leuitenant and ignore attacks of opportunity.	Attack	? turns

Weapons[]

For every type of unit, there a few weapons to choose from, with some weapons being restricted to natives and some to Spanish. Each weapon adds damage to melee or determiines the ranged damage of the unit and weapons have a certain critical hit multiplier. In case of ranged damage, it also determines the point from which accuracy is starting to receive larger penalties.

Damage with weapons can be improved by allocating equipment to units and there a some passive skills which improve damage under specific circumstances, but you will not find any items which can be classified as weapon and can be given to troops to boost damage or give other beneficial properties in combat.
