In the game, dragoons can dismount and fight as infantry when the tactical situation requires it. Line infantry can hold a fort's walls while the dragoons occupy important buildings inside the perimeter. They cannot form an infantry square in this simulation, but mounted movement followed by dismounted garrison duty gives them a distinct defensive role. Their ability to switch between mobility and dismounted firepower makes them flexible reserves.

Dismounting dragoons for fort and town defence
The game models dragoons as a flexible force that can arrive mounted, dismount, and hold buildings behind an infantry-manned wall.
