    Default What works Best for you and how?

    I'm A very tactical player and Mainly prefer Cavelry for their quick speed,
    powerful charge, and Ferocity in battle. The fact that their so menouverable gives me the option to flank enemy units, run away, and
    reform 2x faster than infantry. Cavelry differs from Archers to Heavy
    melee cavelry. The downside is that they are vulnerable to spearmen
    and they can't assult walls. The upside is in the right hands (mainly me)
    they can defeat any opponant faced before them. I think the best cavelry
    is:

    1: French Lancersfor their great charge and attack

    2: Chivilric Knights for their great charge and defence

    3: Gothic Knights for their great charge and armour peircing maces

    4: Dvor Cavelry with great range, attack, and defence

    So post whats best for you and why please.

    Cavalry is really the best type of unit. There are good infantry counters, but with proper micromanaging cavalry can defeat even pikemen. A good cavalry player can cripple an enemy army before they even get into missile range.

    My top 5 heavy cavalry picks are: And my top 5 light cavalry are:

    1: Royal Mamluks 1: Vardiotari

    2: Quaqultu (sp?) 2: Alan light cavalry

    3: Norse War Clerics 3: Stradiots

    4: Teutonic Knights 4: Mounted crossbowmen

    5: Czars Guard 5: Jinetes

    I guess but my favorite all time cavelry is dvor,.....they have about the
    best bow attack mounted in the game and can be formidable foes for even Gendarmes. Gothics are good at fighting everything.Even for
    Clerics it's 1 hit 1 kill

    I really like the Spanish Jinettes. You can use them all through the game. You can produce and replace them in both city and castle. Gotta like that for versatility.

    Best thing about missle cavalry like the Jinetes is their great flanking ability and yet able to drive in on a charge to break the end of the enemy formation when the time is right.

    I like Spain for their heavy cavelry like Conquistadors and heavy
    infantry such as swordsmen militia and sword and buckler men. Along
    with your very explanitory report on Jenites versitility and aggresion.
    Tercio pikemen are good line keepers so long as there not flanked....
    thats where the jenites come in because the enemy is certainly not
    going to charge straight into Spanish Tercio pikemens formation.


    Musketeers are very helpful because they have the melee muscle to back up thier outstanding armour piercing led also i gave you rep+

    HRE has mounted shotgunners like mounted conquistadors except their range is 20 instead of 14 and their range is like 20 feet


    Other than that HRE has excellent everything like goths mounted and
    dismounted and Arquabusiars.
