“	Hand cavalry armed with cold steel. Good against light infantry.	”
—In-game description

The Hussar is a melee heavy cavalry unit in Age of Empires III that can be trained at Stables, Forts, and Galleons/Fluyts.

Hussars are available to the United States and European civilizations except Germans, John Black's Mercenaries (both of which have Uhlans instead), Ottomans (who have Delis instead), and Russians (who have Cossacks instead).

Overview

Hussars are the basic cavalry for most of the European civilizations. They have the most hit points of all basic cavalry, but otherwise lack distinguishing characteristics.

They are effective at raiding Settlers due to their speed and high damage. Due to Settlers' 20% hand resistance, 7 hits are required to kill a Settler; a raiding party of 10 is usually sufficient. As with all units, be sure to queue one up as soon as the Stable finishes to start the training, adding more units as resources become available towards the completion of the group's training.

Hussars, like all melee cavalry, are effective against frail ranged infantry, which cannot withstand melee combat. Hussars' speed helps in getting in close with small numbers of early artillery. However, Hussars are weak against heavy infantry and light ranged cavalry. Because Hussars are quite fast, it is often better to run away from groups of those units and work with nearby infantry so that each unit can cover for the other's weakness.

Hussars tend to be used less as the primary unit of an army in the late game because Dragoons and massed Musketeers can reach a critical mass with enough firepower to significantly weaken their force without even giving them a chance to cause damage. They are also not as well suited as the Cuirassier for dealing raw hand damage against large groups of vulnerable infantry or for simply overpowering heavy infantry because they lack the latter's Area of Effect attack. They can, however, still be useful to soak up initial artillery/Skirmisher fire in large battles to protect infantry or used for flanking to destroy expensive enemy artillery.

The Spanish can use unction to boost their Hussars in combat, providing a sizable damage increase.

	Veteran Hussars	200 wood 200 coin	Upgrades Hussars to Veteran (+20% hit points and attack)
	Guard Hussars	600 wood 600 coin	Upgrades Hussars to Guard (+30% hit points and attack); requires Veteran Hussars
	Life Guard Hussars	850 wood 850 coin	Upgrades Hussars to King's Life Guards (Guard Hussars with +10% hit points and attack); requires Veteran Hussars
	Imperial Hussars	1,500 wood 1,500 coin	Upgrades Hussars to Imperial (+50% hit points and attack); requires Guard Hussars
	Imperial Life Guards		Upgrades King's Life Guards to Imperial Life Guards (+50% hit points and attack); requires Life Guard Hussars

Civilization differences

• As seen above, British can upgrade Hussars to Royal Guard and Imperial Guard.
• The Germans can turn Settler Wagons into Guard Hussars through the "March Revolution" Home City Card.
• The Russians can get Hussars through the "Georgian Hussars" Home City Card, which ships 17 Guard Hussars and can be sent a second time in the Imperial Age (total 34 Hussars).
• Knights of St. John can only upgrade Hussars to Veteran.
• United States in the Act III: Steel campaign can upgrade Hussars to the Imperial.
• The Inca can get Hussars through the "Tupac Rebellion" Home City Card, which turns Chimu Runners into Guard Hussars.

Revolutionary

• Hungary can get Hussars through the "Magyar Hussars" Home City Card, which spawns 1 Hussar from every Outpost or Blockhouse built by the player, or through the "Kovat's Legion" Home City Card, which ships 15 Hussars and allows them to be trained at Forts; both of these cards upgrade Hussars to Magyar Hussars (Normal Hussar without Guard upgrades; it should not be confused with the United States' Consulate Magyar Hussars, which can only be trained in Forts). Magyar Hussars gives them +100% hit points and changes their visual. It is better to combine it with the German "March Revolution" or Russian "Georgian Hussars" Home City Cards, which will upgrade Hussars to Guard level.

History

“

Lasalle, Napoleon's most dashing and competent light cavalry commander, boldly stated that any Hussar who lived to see the age of 30 was "a blackguard." Hussars were known for their daring and flamboyant displays in and out of combat. They could be an unruly and rowdy lot, though some, like the Prussian Death's Head Hussars, looked quite severe. Hussars were used to scout, gather intelligence, run down their enemy counterparts, and in flanking and screening maneuvers. They were excellent horsemen and daring to a fault. The Prussian hussars, who served under Wellington at Waterloo, wore uniforms of almost entirely unrelieved black, with a large white skull and crossbones on the front of their short-brimmed, tall cylindrical hats. Hussars were typically armed with curved cavalry sabers and sometimes muskets or pistols.

”

Trivia

• Although the unit description before the Definitive Edition said that the Hussar is a light cavalry unit, it is classified as a heavy cavalry.
  • That is because during the development of the game, the concept of light ranged cavalry was different from that shown in the final game: it was a melee cavalry unit that was good against Skirmisher-type, foot archer-type and artillery units, and the Hussar was the generic unit of this light cavalry (while the Cossack and Uhlan were intended to be unique versions of this unit, and the Stradiot would be the mercenary version). However, in the final game, the nomenclature of light cavalry was given to ranged cavalry units good against cavalry, such as the Dragoon-type and Cavalry Archer-type units, remaining only in-game descriptions incorrectly describing the Hussar (and the Cossack, Uhlan, Stradiot, and Kanya Horseman in The WarChiefs) as light cavalry.
• British Royal Guard/Consulate Hussars are named after the Life Guards.
• German Hussars before update 13.9057 were named after the Polish Hussars, who are notable for their huge wing ornament (though their in-game model were not changed to reflect this).
• Chilean Hussars of Death are inspired by the "Húsares de la Muerte", a cavalry militia who vowed to fight to the death to protect Santiago after a great defeat during the Chilean independence war.
• The United States' ability to access Magyar Hussars through the "Kovat's Legion" Home City Card is a reference to Michael Kovats de Fabriczy, a Hungarian nobleman who fought for the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War and are known as the one of the founding fathers of U.S. cavalry units.
• The Magyar Hussar speaks Hungarian reusing the in-game dialogue of military Magyar units from Age of Empires II HD: The Forgotten, but with the pitch raised slightly.
• Due to a bug, if the Russians ship the "Georgian Hussars" Home City Card before revolting, Magyar Hussars will keep the unique Georgian Hussars model.
