Djura (veterans) are veteran regular horse archers of the Cossack Hetmanate.
Tactics[]
Despite being mainstay Cossack cavalry, they are poor, unrealiable, irregular militia light dragoons lacking any uniformity in weapons and equipment typical of their counterparts from other nations - their main weapons being pistols and simple sabers, veteran Djura can spawn with either primitive Matchlock Carbines or Old Pistols.
Compared to regular dragoons, veteran Djura are arguably the worst such troops in the game, weaker than veteran Jasaq and veteran Volunteers. Although having average weapon proficiencies - being slightly better in melee than in ranged combat - on par with regular dragoons, veteran Djura lack armor due to wearing simple civilian clothes instead of a typical dragoon's sturdy uniform, making them likely to be defeated by stronger ranged cavalry or infantry - due to their horses, however, veteran Djura can be used effectively against slower infantry, using their mobility and range to counter light musketeers and militia troops.
