In the game's words
How to use it
Cuirassiers are a unique French cavalry unit with no range, high hitpoints, and a massive attack that includes area damage. Cuirassiers are the heaviest cavalry in the game, take up a lot of population space, and are quite expensive. As cavalry they are rather slow, but they are still faster than infantry and pack more power into a single unit. Cuirassiers are expensive to train and painful to lose. It is a good idea to group Cuirassiers with a unit like the Skirmisher, which is effective against infantry that can threaten even the powerful Cuirassier.
History
Several nations fielded these heavy cavalry units in differing numbers and armaments. Early cuirassiers resembled medieval knights, but eventually only wore a breastplate and backplate for armor. In time, cuirassiers evolved into other cavalry such as hussars, dragoons, and lancers. The breastplate, or cuirass, gave these mounted soldiers their name. Napoleon favored cuirassiers and had over dozen regiments of them. They were used to crash into the ranks of enemy soldiers, hacking and stabbing their way through lines of infantry and more poorly armed and armored cavalry. Horses and men both had to be big to carry the weight of their namesake armor, and these big men and their imposing mounts were given the nickname "big brothers." They carried straight-bladed swords that killed with stabbing thrusts and primitive pistols with a range and rate of fire that was so poor the cuirassiers might have been just as well off without them.
