Missionary mounted-healing support
Missionary: Missionaries provide healing and conversion with more mobility and armor than ordinary Monks, making them useful alongside a moving cavalry force. Their support can extend a fight by restoring damaged units between clashes.
Overview
Missionary: Missionaries provide healing and conversion with more mobility and armor than ordinary Monks, making them useful alongside a moving cavalry force. Their support can extend a fight by restoring damaged units between clashes.
Plan and execution
Keep a small group behind Knights or other cavalry. Heal the frontline during pauses, and use conversions against isolated high-value units when a safe approach appears. Move with the cavalry so the support does not fall behind or become trapped.
Risks and adaptation
The shorter reach and vulnerability to cavalry make a Missionary risky when left alone. Do not send it into the frontline to convert a defended target, and keep it away from fast units that can catch it.
