Availability and investment

Combat profile
The available combat values are included here so the numbers can be read as a profile rather than an isolated list. Hit points and armor describe how long the unit can remain exposed; attack and any bonus damage describe what it threatens; range, reload, accuracy, and movement describe how reliably it can engage or disengage. A value shown for a whole upgrade line applies to the listed stages as recorded, so compare the stage names instead of treating the line as one base unit.
Field use
Use its mobility to choose the engagement: pressure exposed economy, reinforce quickly, or withdraw from a prepared counter. Avoid trading its movement advantage for a stationary fight unless the target justifies it.
Related unit plan: Crusader Knight limited-mass breakthrough
Crusader Knight: Crusader Knights can overwhelm many melee units and pressure foot archers or siege, but their lower durability than other heavy cavalry makes each loss costly. Use them for a focused breakthrough rather than an extended front-wide fight Assemble a group and choose a target where cavalry can reach the enemy line quickly. Use the Knights to clear a melee screen or remove exposed siege, then withdraw if ranged fire or stronger cavalry gathers. Keep support nearby so the force does not fight alone Their lower hit points limit sustained engagements, and defensive fire can wear them down. Do not chase retreating units into a fortified area or assume they can replace a Paladin-sized frontline
