Empire Cuirassiers

Description
This mod was made by request/suggestion. It adds one unit to the Empire roster. A melee cavalry unit of Curassiers (in-game called "Kurassen", which I believe is the German equivalent of the word).

The Unit gets buffs from tech/lord skills for Reiksgard. They are recruited from max level Stables. They are effectively the Stubborn Bulls armored cavalry, but with a 1-handed sword, much less armor, and the speed of a Pistolier.

They have one special ability called "Disengage" which gives them massive melee defense and physical resist, annihilates their melee attack, and buffs to their ability to push past entities for 12 seconds. 3 uses per battle.

would it be possible to create an infantry unit that is similar to the rider, maybe additional with an visor?

The German word for Curassiers is "Kürassiere". Little help for you from a native german speaker. ;-)

As a 17th century fanatic i can't help but poke at that real Cuiriasurs had somewhat more armour covering their legs and arms some often full body.. and main point is they always carried a brace or more of large pistols and combat behaved more like super armoured Pistoliers.. but can i make the request as a pike n shot style empire player.. that you make a third version of Heavy Pistoliers it won't matter if their speed is more on pair with knights they would be armoured almost if not as much.. but in combat play would be used tacticly to flank around or through gaps made to route enermy rnaged and artillery only to return behind the enermie melee and shot point blank into their rear.. such cavalry if stated correctly would also be able to fend off cavalry counters by the foe much like the ones from History like in the English civil war..why not comlpete the set with the very historical Heavy Skirmish Cavalry..

Language its an organic developed thing over long times.I think about da 40K gothic language
and his endless variations, da empire it's probably the melting pot between
Bretonnia-Norsca-Kislev and da Dwarfs.

I have no Idea how "Khazalid" sounds like but for sure its not da singing from da elvs.
From da wrotten "Khazalid" words, it looks for me da letters sounds a bit like German,
because of da for sure hard spoken K Q Z ect.
Your way of approaching the language of the empire therefore makes sense!

An interesting theme to find fitting designations.

I like the idea of ​​words that are put together from other languages.
For example an artificial word between Norscan, Kislevi, Khazalid and vice versa.
That will definitely sound powerful! For the right units, of course.

german designations.

Thanks for the language feedback! Naming stuff for The Empire is hard because it's German-like, but not truly German. I suppose the in-world logic could be that they are borrowing from Bretonnian, but in lore the root language for The Empire is the Dwarf language Khazalid, and Bretonnian is derived from the early Empire languages which are like early German or Anglo-Saxon.

Having a clearly French word like "Kurassier" just didn't sit well with me. I figured the Empire would have taken the name from the chest plate, but in their own language structure, as the French created the name Curassier.

French="Cuirassier"/German="Kürassiere" we Germans have da ability to integrate outlander words directly into da german language, without to translate them. Because it make sense, we call it "eindeutschen". Sounds same, only some letters are different, because we love hard spitten letters, "angry german noises"!

Kurassen are da chest protection.

I think they are named by da mod as "Kurassen", because its so more easy to speak that word out in english, but thats are only ma 5 cent.

Thanks for da mod btw:steamthumbsup:
