In the game's words
How to use it
The Royal Dragoon is a ranged light cavalry unit. It is available in the Fortress Age at the Trading Post to anyone who has allied with the House of Bourbon by building a Trading Post on one of their palaces. Royal Dragoons are slower and more expensive than Dragoons but have higher range and hit points. Unlike other ranged cavalry units Royal Dragoons can use the trample stance and have a comparatively strong melee attack.
History
The House of Bourbon ruled much of France and the surrounding regions from the medieval period up through the 19th century. Dragoons played an important role for Bourbon rulers in France to exert and protect their domestic and military power. In a policy known as the Dragonnades Bourbon king Louis XIV ordered Dragoons to tyrannize the Protestant Huguenots to coerce them either into conversion to Catholicism or emigration. Dragoons also served in the military branch of the royal household troops that did not only act as personal bodyguards but also participated in several campaigns.
