    Default Prussian 'Gardes du Corps' - lost unit ----> request

    I was surprised by the lack of Prussian Garde du Corp in the game. I thought that this unit will be added in Coalition Pack. However, given the smaller regiments.

    Gardes du Corp were a standard unit in the Prussian army. Prussia have only cuirassiers actually.
    Counterparts in other armies are:
    -French Carabiniers,
    -British Horse Guards,
    -British Life Guards,
    -Russian Chevaliers Garde,
    -Russian Lifeguard Horse,
    -Spanish Guardias da Corp.
    Russia and Britain have as many as 2 equivalents of horse guards, and in addition cuirassiers standard(rus)/ dragoons guard(brit).

    Please to add Prussian Garde du Corp in the next patch.

    Picture: Cuirassiers and Garde du Corps, 1809:

    Prussia's cavalry is the weakest in all major powers. Prussia's only decent cavalry is its Life Hussars, the best light cav in game.

    Hmm, I think a squadron of chasseur á cheval would wipe the floor with the Life Hussars (in NTW I mean).

    Prussia already has lancers so it's already better than Great Britain.

    Garde du Corps should be in Prussian roster. It is an important unit. Other factions have similar units: Britain: Life Guards and Blues; Russia: Chevalierguard, France: Carabiniers etc. Prussian guard cavalry slot is empty...

    Britain didn't have lancers in Napoleonic Period. Prussians had. This thing is correctly in game.

    French carabiniers are not the equivalent, they are line cavalry, not guard.

    Actually Britain did use lancers and were based off of Napoleon's polish guard lancers. The British also used Brunsick Lancers.

    Not if you play as a republic. As a republic, Prussia can recruit some sort of elite cuirassiers, but they're not really much better than the standard Prussian cuirassiers.
