In the game's words
How to use it
The Saxon Cuirassier is a heavy hand cavalry unit. It is available in the Fortress Age at the Trading Post to anyone who has allied with the House of Wettin by building a Trading Post on one of their palaces. Like French Cuirassiers, Saxon Cuirassiers have high hit points, deal area damage in melee, and are effective against a wide variety of units, but to lesser degrees. Unlike French Cuirassiers, Saxon Cuirassiers take up no population slots but, like other Trading Post units, have a build limit.
History
The House of Wettin ruled German Saxony (among other territories) from the medieval period up through the 20th century. Although armored heavy cavalry had gradually gone out of fashion, it saw a resurgence during the Napoleonic Wars, when the French Grande Armee used them to deadly effect. The Saxons, who allied with the French, contributed three regiments of elite cuirassier cavalry to that army, and they were held in high regard due to their distinguished role in combat.
