A soldier armed with small bombs suited for throwing however it deals less damage than handgonnes. the thrower can use it for kamikaze as a last resort when surrounded by enemies. (Idea taken from aof uruk bombman)
Trainable after researching gunpowder
Produced at : Siege workshop & towns
Cost: 3
Hp: 18
Att: 7
Rng: 3
Aoe: 1
Spd: 3
Armor: 0/0
Ability:
Kamikaze:
- The thrower sets all of his bombs ablaze and is about to initiate self destruction.
- 10 damage
- 1 Aoe
- Suicide
- Same bonuses
Bonuses:
50% Heavy foot melee
50% Heavy cavalry
50% Armored siege machines

I also wonder if an upgrade will be suited for this. Armored bomb thrower for example will increase the basic ranged attack by 1, armor by 1/1, hp by 2 and suicide damage by 2. The tech would cost approximately 5 and is researchable at siege workshops.

I thought grenadiers were the french elite troops so I didn't look onto it.
