(Red, I don't care how good your Golden Dragoons are, they can't shoot through arrow slits. Someone shooting a modern weapon would have trouble shooting straight through an arrow slit, and they don't have to worry about bullet drop or wind, and they don't have to worry about the bullet not flying straight. Medieval weaponry simply couldn't be manufactured to be accurate to the precise millimetre, and if your Dragoons are on horseback, they will not have a steady platform to shoot from.

Also, Kvatch is stocked for a siege, so they will have plenty of boiling oil. Even when they have to restock they will have ten people people heating the oil and refilling the jars, so it will take a few seconds at most before more oil is pouring down. After a minute or two, all your mages will have been shot anyway.)
