Standardizing weaponry and unit roles

Pistol infantry: their melee and ranged animations are not that different (similar to war wagon), so maybe they should have a ranged multiplier against cav as well (also similar to war wagon).

I like the idea of making the pistol heavy infantry switch to be ranged anti-cav instead of melee anti-cav. They don’t have bayonets so it doesn’t really make sense to give them a good melee multiplier.

I’d suggest giving a different animation for the two ranged heavy cavs, like carrying the sword by default and only switch to the ranged weapon when attacking

anti-skirmisher should have their distinct pose from regular skirmishers

I think the massively confusing mess of ranged heavy cavalry and counter skirmishers could be solved by making most of them dismounting units.

More Intuitive Counter-Skirmishers and Dismounting Units

Several of the new units in the KotM expansion break the established intuition around the counter system. The vast majority of units fall into a broader unit class with common visual cues that indicate what their role is. The new counter-skirmishers completely disregard these guidelines by masquerading as other unit types. [Screenshot (199)] (only 2 of the above units are counter-skirmishers) There are currently 4 units that could be described as counter-skirmishers: Schiavoni, Pandours, Mou…

Harquebusiers could probably just get a charged attack like Oromos and be more of a standard heavy cav. They are a bit of an under the radar OP unit with their insanely high attack.
