Empire Winged Hussars

Description
NOTE: All this unit's models are in Snek's Empire Asset Pack. Make sure you have that.

This mod adds one unit to the Empire roster. A Winger Hussar lancer unit with light armor and less shielding than an Empire knight, but which is faster than even a Pistolier. This unit started way back as my test unit on a Cavalry correction mod before the Cavalry patch was ever announced. I really liked the look of the Winged Hussars as well as the tactical place for a lite and maneuverable shock cavalry.

This unit has one special ability in the form of a devastating Winged Hussar Charge. This charge can be used only once per battle, and it has a 60 second warmup. You must be out of combat and a certain distance from enemy units to activate it and the buff lasts 24 seconds. Their lance has a contact effect that reduces enemy leadership and bracing effectiveness.

Recruited from Tier 4 Stables (along with Demigryphs) They share all the Lord skill and tech buffs as Reiksguard.

THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED

Yes, I know they were a true heavy cav. But, I wanted to make the winged hussar design myself which also not replicating something the Empire already had, so a light shock cav fit the roster gap.

Nice job :D But Winged Hussars was very heavy cavalry.

Yeah primarily a sword version would be great, no shields, maybe sabre's or standard sword would be good, a nice bit of variety to melee cavalry without being a full blown knight or having a lance, Empire already have some great looking armets and close helms to suit them.

I like the idea of adding a melee Cavalry and already have some assets in mind.

Guns of the Empire already covers some of the ideas you have. The Reiksgewehr have a powerful hand cannon with heavy armor and good melee. The
Kriegsritter are a sharpshooting Dragoon.

Warhammer lore has a weapon called the Thrice-Pistol, which a unit in Guns if the Empire uses. I may do that unit, but mounted as an elite Pistolier.

The Roadwardens are a light armored pistol Cavalry with limited range and ammo but much better melee than Pistoliers.

I think I want to do Cuirassiers as a medium armored melee cavalry with Pistolier-tier speed and vanguard.

One of the limitation is the animation sets available to use or what I can realistically make.

Agreed on the cuirassiers, especially a pistol version. They'd be an excellent top-tier gunpowder cavalry unit with 3/4 plate and some extremely heavy wheellock pistols [upload.wikimedia.org], so they'd need a high-level gunpowder chain as well.

Harquebusiers as an uparmored (breastplate, helmet, some off-hand armor), slower outrider with some slightly better melee capability would be neat, as well as Reiters as a medium hybrid unit with yet more armor [upload.wikimedia.org] than a harquebusier.
