Role, availability & values
It takes 20 seconds and uses 12 population for 3 Jat Lancers. The company is available from the Commerce Age at the Chinese Consulate, subject to the active diplomatic roster and its Export requirements. Jat Lancers are heavy cavalry whose listed bonus damage is directed against Infantry, so the package has a different use from a ranged-infantry reinforcement.
Training & availability
Campaign-only Chinese Consulate Banner Army in Act II: China; Commerce Age; select Indian Mercenaries; 400 Export; 20 seconds; 12 population; 3 Jat Lancers.
Matchup & timing
Choose it when mobile heavy cavalry and pressure against infantry fit the match, and make sure the army has population room for the 12-point commitment. The three-unit count is small relative to its population cost, so weigh the quality and mobility of the delivered force against a larger company. Protect the riders from the opponent’s anti-cavalry response.
Campaign restriction and delivery
Indian Mercenary Company is campaign-only for the Chinese in Act II: China. At the Consulate, select Indian Mercenaries and reach the Commerce Age; the three-Jat-Lancer company costs 400 Export, takes 20 seconds and uses 12 population. Its name identifies the foreign company, while the Chinese Consulate is the production building.
Mobile anti-infantry cavalry
The three riders provide a compact mounted group rather than a large cavalry mass. Jat Lancers are heavy cavalry with bonus damage against Infantry, so they can punish exposed foot troops and reposition quickly between mission objectives. They remain vulnerable to anti-cavalry responses; scout the route, avoid sending the company alone into prepared defenders, and reserve the 12 population before ordering it.
