Definately cuir, best cav in the game. But if you have 15+ huss, make veteran upgrade in stable first and after start making cuir.

Cuir are best but only make them if you can afford it. There is no point in killing your economy if you can only get 5 cuir out of it. Also, as ovi said, upgrade your huss if you have a lot. Otherwise send them to the back of your opponents' bases and raid.

I would go with Hussars any time! They are much cheaper, they have more speed and are able to dodge enemy dragoons like ninjas!!! (:))
Also, I have an evidence why Hussars are better! Also, they have better attack than Cuirs!!!

If Cuirs would be better why so many great leaders like Queen Elizabeth, Maurise of Nassau and Suleiman would use Hussars instead??
They all know that Hussars are much better so that's why you can't train cuirs with other civs. Napoleon was the only idiot who couldn't see that Hussars are clearly better so that's why French have the both options available!

Napoleon that complete retard who conquered more than half of Europe territories from Hamburg to Rome to Barcelona, 134 departments, 70 million people, one of the most stupid war general in history, definitely :)

But Cuirs only have less attack because they also get area damage, so in practice they actually do better against skirms and bow units, and imo they are also better vs other cav, because of that area damage.

Go for a mix - good singletarget (huss) and good multitarget (cuir) damage.

Cuir for sure... Already getting vet huss up sux too much for me to go huss. If there are too many goons, you shouldnt make handcav in general. Also for raiding 3 cuirs so much more dangerous than 3 huss

I'd say in fortress u should go goons/skirms anyways this mix is good for a push, probably send 3 cuir for raids because they are op. But to come back on your question I'd prefer cuir much more op for raids.

They also don't train instantly like gendarmes. The cards give cuir better attack btw.

Cuirs are better in almost every situation, except perhaps while running away from things... But more importantly you don't have to waste 400 resources bringing them up to level with other 3rd age units. I would only upgrade to vet huss if I had 30+ hussars left from age 2, which almost never happens.

Vet Hussars have about 15% higher hitpoints per resource and better single target damage. Also if you have too few cuiraser you damage all units but they don't quite die yet because their high damage is spread apart. Also cuirassier have a speed of 6.25 instead of 6.75 and are quite expensive. Btw is the aoe damage (not the unit being hit) of cuirassiers also lowered by melee resistance?
