Dragoons weren't taken away because no one liked them, inactivity caused their removal.

Bringing them back will only spread us ever more thin. And with our numbers now, we can hardly handle the scouts and Grenadiers. Scouts don't do their tasks, and the Grenadiers don't have any. Dragoons will make everything harder.

As Buttons says, reinstating a second infantry squad will only stretch our numbers out even further. At the moment we're just managing to keep the Scouts and Grenadiers staffed, and the Arcanists are fleshing out rather slowly. Bringing back the Dragoons could only be successful if the Grenadiers were disbanded to compensate - and as far as being integral to the concept, culture, and history of the Covian Army, the Baron's Own Grenadiers beat the 4th Altmere Dragoons by a long shot.

In my completely unbiased opinion, No.

As above really.

Although the guild is as vibrant and healthy as it has been for some good time diluting the army with more squads doesn't really add any value.

We have enough guardsmen to sustain the three squads and the main block, a thriving civilian and criminal element and also a resurgent Church, so there is much to be proud of in BoC. However at this point in time I don't foresee an imminent return of the Dragoons, Highlanders nor Marines/Navy unless membership continues to increase and guardsmen of sufficient numbers get themselves promoted to Junior.

So, if you really want new sections in the army...Recruit, recruit, recruit!

That said, it does not count if people just keep making alts.
It would take more active player numbers, not just guild member numbers to pull it off I should think.

Aye, I loved em Dragoons but I can't say now is the time. Bide time, make armour and train horses if ye wish. But Dragoons not comming back until we see a major number of active members, Say a full 20 individuals whom are not alts of anysort meaning these 20 would have to be COVIAN and no other guild, association, etc. And well thats not going to happen especially with so many whom don't stay or live past Watchman!

I'd love to seem em back, sure others would to. Now aint the time and that time may never come.
