Dragoons, use of

[Darkrenown]

The trouble with build arty dragoons is that they have crappy defence values and die way faster than your infanty. I'm not sure it should be so low actually, I mean they don't fight on horseback.

Someone in another thread said that they use tank/dragoons to quickly add high shock units to an ongoing battle while trying to avoid high firepower battles where their low def will destroy them.

You can open victoria\db\units\dragoons.txt and up their speed to 7 if you want to make them a bit more useful. I might go through the tech files and make them boost dragoons a bit more too...

Try this:

Just extract it to your Vic folder. VIP users will have to open army-techs and change the RP cost back up as this was made using vanilla files.

That's just the point. They weren't.

They weren't? I'd have thought an early version of motorised infantry would have been great in the ACW or for Russia. Regardless, if it's in the game I like it to be balanced

If they are dismounted cavalry then shouldn't they have similar stats as infantry and speed almost as high as cavalry?

And now they do
