Cuiraissier Spearmen (veterans) are veteran heavy cavalry of the Kingdom of Sweden.
Tactics[]
Medium shock cavalry armed with a short lance - replaced by a broadsword during sieges - and wearing their namesake half-plate cuirass, they are efficient in groups of 12 or more. Like veteran Oglan and veteran Winged Hussars, they are meant to charge straight into enemy lines, shattering them and causing weaker troops to rout, but veteran Cuirassiers are utterly useless when dismounted and surrounded by enemy troops - especially pikemen and cavalry - hence why they are best used as support for veteran Dragoons and/or veteran Reiters.
Stats and Equipment[]
Note: Troops have a set of default stats; at the beginning of a new game, these stats are randomly adjusted for each type of troop. The following is the default set for this troop as seen within the game code and may not reflect the specific stats you will see during actual gameplay. For more information, see troop stats.
