Heavy melee infantry in defend mode? Light ranged cavalry? Musketeers? If musketeers, do you leave them in volley mode or do you put them in melee or defend mode? Anything else maybe? A special formation?

musketeers with melee mode, Dragoon behind the cannon, micro ur cannon to take down cannon 1 st
Why do you consider musketeers a better choice than, say, halberdiers, when available?
Units like the Portugal goon can easily snipe past your halbs
Yeah this, I was going to say halbs but at least musketeers can shoot dragoons.

Learn also the movement formation trick. Aussie Drongo had a video about.
With the video you will learn it better, but this trick allows you to pull your artillery to the other side.
Do you have the link or the video title ti give it a check?
Miss when we could make squares and put the cab inside halberd/musk in square defense mode with rabaulds shooting from inside
Lmao i remember sioux/oprichnik mobs in a tiny square formation burning through walls like paper and running thru my whole team's factory sector
Goons + cannon is far superior to musk +cannon.
massive goons to prevent your cannon from enemy heavy cavs, and your own heavy cavs to take down enemy culvs

A handful of culverins does wonders in terms of engagement psychology too

My favorite are pikes/halbs. I use the cover mode to keep them alive and then switch to melee when the cav try and come in.
There's no need to keep musketeers in melee mode. In volley mode they provide extra fire power. If enemy cavalry gets up close, you can switch the closest musketeers to melee mode, or just let them switch automatically
They tend to drift away when a battle ensues, leaving cannons exposed, unless they are in defend mode. But the problem with musketeers is they can't be put in melee and defend mode at the same time. They shoot in defend mode.
