Suisses Infanterie [French Swiss Infantry]
While not to the status of a guard unit, Swiss Infantry were amongst the best (and amongst foreign regiments the most numerous) line infantry fielded by Spain and France. They favor the musket over the bayonet but are not novices when it comes to close combat.

Tufangchiyan [Safavid Musketeers]
Under Shah Abbas I (Shah Abbas the Great, reigned 1587-1629), the Safavid Persians underwent a military reformation which robbed the Qizilbashi Turks of their anachronistic martial monopoly. It introduced three corps of a largely non Turkic background: The Qullars or Ghulams drawn from Christian Caucasians, the Tufangchi whom were a force of foot and mounted musketeers drawn from mostly Persian peasants, and an Artillery corps. While these men are not near the equals to the superior Line Infantry of Europe or more valuable musketry options available to the Ottomans, they do offer the Safavid's hitherto outdated force to begin modernizing.
To reflect their ambiguous nature as either foot musketeers or mounted dragoons, Tufangchiyan will be able to move on the campaign map as fast as cavalry, but fight purely on foot.
Slavonski Pandurs [Slavonian Pandours]
With light infantry forming a critical part of the Austrian military, these Pandours of Slavonia are a step above their peers with a particular edge in swordsmanship. Available to Austria and Venice in the Balkans.
Sinj Alkas [Croatian Lancers]

Afghan Jazayerchis
