I’d love to see those Lancers!
Do you think they should be the naturally stages of the Lancer upgrades, or do you think a ‘modernisation’ card of sorts would be better for that change?

Me gusta tu idea, pero los garrochistas se supone que sean guerrilleros españoles de la guerra contra Napoleón.
This is a Dragon de Cuera, the unit was created in the time of New Spain in the 18th century, to be exact this elite cavalry unit is originally from the state of Sonora (Mexico), they were created to defend the borders of Texas, New Mexico and California from the attack of the Native Americans during the expansionism of the government of New Spain towards the north of Mexico, it could be said that he is the father of the contemporary cowboy, therefore the Dragon de Cuera could not represent the Spanish lancer since It is the heritage of both Mexico and California, the Spanish lancer could be represented by the Lancero de Jerez who fought in the Napoleonic era.

Just because I like to fight with people online:
well…no.
Cowboys steam from working class history, most exactly from afromexican people that in the new spain were enslaved but got permits to ride horses to better tend the big cattle haciendas. They eventually migrated northwards, teaching free ranchers allong the way and also the recently freed slaves in the USA, which, as cattle barons disliked the idea that they were indeed equal to the farm-hands, they were condencendetly called boys…cowboys.

in fact that’s how it is, the cowboy comes from both the rancheros and farmers of the states of California and Texas and the rancheros of Sonora, but these in turn learned these horse riding skills and lasso herding from the dragones de cuera who are even older than the hacienda workers, the first cowboys of the west were the dragones de cuera who became called chinacos or californios after the independence of Mexico to evolve for the last time into the famous charros, the American cowboy does not It is more than the copy of the charros or Mexican rancheros, but we must not forget that all of these evolved throughout the history of their ancestor the dragon de cuera novo hispanic
And all of them from peninsular Spain farmers too.
About Cowboy, its the literal translation of Vaquero (Vaca means Cow in Spanish. Qu has K sound)
