Overall strategy[]
These light cavalry are the eyes and ears of European armies. Armed with a sword and a fast mount, the key lessons behind deploying Hussars is to "strike first before the foe strikes you".
Use your Hussars to roam far and wide to reconnoitre the land to aid your armies, so that you can effectively coordinate your urban planning and tactics with finesse. In larger groups, Hussars can be used to knock out enemy light infantry and raid enemy settlements (Farms especially) but watch out for Fusiliers and elite cavalry, such as the Scots Greys who while slower are effective counter-cavalry units.
