These men are the elite of the French aristocracy, and can afford the best in arms and armour, including the lethal armour-defeating Pollaxe. As the flower of French chivalry, they have an elan that is unrivalled. Although they have a reputation for rashness when mounted, many are pragmatic enough to realise that sometimes it is better to fight on foot.

There's also a new trailer up at the official site. Oh, and a tagline that reads, "Turkey Deploys Fowl Play".

So does that mean knights can dismount and fight on foot as well?

Ya it seems you chouse whether they have horses or not when you buy them.

Makes sense; they were limited because of the number of trained horses that could do the job, and situation of course. That being said, I would like to see the option for cavalry to actively dismount in the future.

Oh booooo, I thought somebody confirmed you could only trained one unit but choose to dismount or not before battle during deployment, as it should be.
