As it would be quite a different thing if Dragoons and Hussars are mounted on flying creatures instead of just horses.If flying cavalry exists, I feel that anti-aircraft guns might make an appearance more than a 100 years before they were invented. And even if flying creatures couldn't be domesticated in large numbers for entire corps of flying cavalry, but a few of them could still be domesticated, well armies would still use them for recon.Giant humanoids such as Ogres could be parts of armies, as they could essentially be heavy troops who use cannons instead of muskets. I feel there's still a place for artillery crews, but when you can put uniforms on Ogres, issue them a cannon to carry around and keep around an officer around to direct them, they effectively have a mobile artillery unit.</blockquote>
