?This unit does not suffer from knockdowns.+
? +
?== What does this unit counters? ==+
? +
?Ranged units in general.+
? +
?== Counters to this unit type ==+
? +
?The main unit that counters cavalry is spears : they have a bonus against them and are therefore extremly effective in melee against them. They can also form a phalanx which will negate your charge and deal damage to your unit.<br/>+
? +
?A pike phalanx will counter cavalry very effectively, in the same way as the Hoplite Phalanx.<br/>+
? +
?Sword infantry can counter cavalry if the cavalry stays too long in melee. Ultimately, the infantry will have the advantage over the cavalry unit.<br/>+
?Finally, due to their low unit men count, cavalry is vulnerable to missile fire, and especially artillery.+
? +
?== General playstyle and general tips ==+
? +
?Those tips can be used when playing every cavalry type listed below, but their effectiveness varies according to the type of cavalry/faction being used+

?=== Barbarians === +
? +
?Barbarian cavalry units have 45 men in each unit. They are faster and lighter than the other cavalry units from the other units, but have less armour as a counterpart. They are therefore vulnerable to missile infantry and must use their speed to deal with that threat. Their morale damage is also lower than the other cavalry units.+
