| − | The Cavalry classes specialise in [[Horseback Riding]] to scatter lines and hunt down skirmishers with their mighty steeds. Have your pick at one of these well-dressed cavalrymen. '''Hussars''' sport a rather flamboyant uniform which won't come of much use in the field of battle but their increased damage with swords while riding on horseback and increased speed will certainly come in handy while playing this class. Discharge your pistol at the general direction of the enemy, equip your sword and charge away. All while well-dressed. Show them great showmanship with swords on horseback! Carbineers on horseback. '''Cuirassiers & Dragoons ''' excel at the use of this firearm while mounted and combined with the versatile mobility their steed provides, they can quickly traverse the battlefield, take careful pickings of the enemy and retreat back in support of your lines. Well trained Carabineers can excel just as much as a hussar in melee combat albeit the advantages traits provide. Master the art of horseback riding as those brave gentlemen once did. Youâll have a much easier time doing so should you give a quick read to whatâs going to follow. Mounting, dismounting, putting your steed on the gallop, firing from horseback and various other aspects related to combat. {{Class |enum=CuirassierDragoon |name=Cuirassiers and Dragoons |description=Mounted infantryman.

Overview
The Cavalry classes specialise in Horseback Riding to scatter lines, chase down skirmishers, and disrupt artillery.
- Hussars are swift, sabre-focused light cavalry. Their increased sword damage while mounted and higher speed make them deadly in charges. Fire a pistol on approach, draw steel, and commit.
- Cuirassiers & Dragoons (mounted carbineers) excel at accurate firearm use from horseback. Mobility lets them harass, pick targets, and fall back to friendly lines. Master mounting, dismounting, pacing your horse, and shooting from the saddle for best results.
