Description[]
A fleet footed, heavily armored, mounted unit who fights with a sword and shield.
Traits[]
These hard-hitting riders require armour, swords and of course a spare steed at the Stables in order to recruit. Imperial Cavalry make up for their slow movement speed with a special ability that can, if used correctly, quickly deal heavy damage and even knock back weaker troops by charging down their foes.
The Imperial Cavalry’s high damage output and heavy armour makes them likely candidates for last horses standing. As such they are more suited to breaking enemy lines than their auxiliary counterpart and serve a different function on the battlefield.
Their charge ability can also be used to catch enemies off balance, quickly flank them or simply charge formations head on to weaken and displace their front line.
