In the Extended Edition, this unit/building is affected by a damage bug.

The Cuirassier is the standard Heavy Cavalry of the Enlightenment Age, available to upgrade from the Heavy Knight and are trained at the Stable.
Overview[]
After Heavy Knights become Cuirassiers, they gain +25 hit points, +1 attack strength, +1 movement speed, and +1 line of sight.
Cuirassiers will soundly beat up most units, except for Heavy Infantry, so they can be unstoppable, as long as they are properly supported, because powerful as they are, they will still need some cover fire against Heavy Infantry, support for taking down buildings, and maybe some assistance against evasive Ranged Cavalry, if present.
Unique units[]
- The French train Horse Guard Grenadier instead of Cuirassier.
- The Greeks train Royal Stratiotai instead of Cuirassier.
