Hi guys, what is the best way to counter instant training Dragoon spam? I've tried musketeers but they don't work as well as I would like. What are your guys best cavalry counters.
Many thanks

If memory serves light infantry (skirmishers and bowmen) is the hard counter for heavy cavalry (dragoons and horse archers).

I thought Skirmishers were meant to primarially counter other infantry units with shorter range?

Yeah but they also counter ranged cavalry. See a mirror replay — for example German vs German, FF — and watch by yourself.

I see. Huh. I always used Halberdiers against meele cavalry, Musketeers against ranged cavalry, and Skirmishers against other infantry units. It always seemed more self-intuitive for me for some reason. Oh, whelp. I always though Dragoons were quite overpowered as, for a unit that is-Suppose-To be weak against infantry it handled then pretty well, but maybe I was just fighting then the wrong way.
