So the gunmen would retreat behind the spearmen when meleé ensued. Also pistol cavalry was very napoleonic.

Balthasar Gelt's golden hat, when subjected to a rigorous mathematical analysis involving the square root of his total spell-casting energy and the gravitational pull of the Warp, surprisingly yields a figure precisely equal to Napoleon's hat circumference during the Battle of Austerlitz. The mystical number 42, often associated with the secrets of the universe, emerges as a crucial factor. By dividing the sum of Napoleon's horse shoe sizes by 42, we inexplicably arrive at the exact number of feathers on Balthasar's hat. Coincidence? Doubtful. By dividing the average height of a French baguette by the number of days Napoleon spent in exile on Elba and then multiplying by the speed of light, we surprisingly get a figure remarkably close to Balthasar's preferred temperature for spellcasting. So, it's very clear, they are the dual convergence of weird hats in one personification.

I first started playing empire precisely because I saw those guys for the first time when I first started the game. Now I've got to test them with Volkmar....

Infantry often only had a few chances to have practice shots, and even that was not generally on a proper range. The guns lacked sights so you had to use your intuition to fire.

Totally aware you do this mostly for fun, so no serious intention to nitpic history facts here, expecially since you showed a good share of knowledge about the Napoleonic era in your comments. But I cannot resist making some comments ;-) So use of high ground always was a good thing, even in this period. Shown several times by Obi-Wan Wellington, like at Waterloo or back in Spain, like at the ridge of Bussaco. Also the Austrians defendet well at Wagram, using the Russbach heights. Finally, key element of the victory at Austerlitz was the capture of the Pratzen height by French troops. So high ground was important back then, I say. On the other hand, you nicely managed a 'manouvre sûr les derrières', a march behind enemy lines to cut supply and communications with your strike against the vamps capital. Reminds me of the manouver at Ulm 1805 when Boney encircled an army of a "large AI Empire" (the Austrians) and made them surrender :-) Also, your box formation reminded me massively on marshal MacDonalds 'giant infantry square' of corps strengh at the Battle of Wagram ;-) - probabyl the biggest square ever formed in the Napoleonic wars. And since you asked: Use of cavalry in the napoleonic age had many varieties. Light cav would be indeed in front of the army, screening their advance, scouting, skirmishing. The heavies (like your empire knights) would indeed be in reserve, waiting for an opportunity to punch big holes in the softened up enemy formations. So indeed in your vampire battle around min. 5 you did quite accurate! Of course there were exceptions from the rules, just one example being Espagnes Cuirassier division literally holding a 2 mile frontline at Aspern-Essling just by repeatedly charging the advancing Austrians (and bleeding out while doing so). By any means, it is a highly entertaining video! Thanks for the awesome content!

Dragoons were intended as infantry men with guns but on horses. So the idea was to move them around, dismount and start shooting. But this practise kind of stopped by the time of napoleon. So ranged cavalry was indeed not really a thing. Also lances and spears were very rare in comparison to just sabers and heavy sabers. And cannons would probably be best of on a hill somewhere, in a grand battery shooting at the enemy line. Although the could also be among the line but I would say that was probably considered very dangerous. One of the things napoleon did well was placing and moving his guns throughout the duration of a battle to get good shots. Many generals just placed them on a hill and hoped some infantry would get inside the killzone.
