Favourite Cavalry Units

[Eikon the Magistrate]

This is an excellent thread for my question....regarding

Norse War Clerics

Now... they arent the most powerful ever...but they are clerics...which ..are healers kinda... at least in a RPG or w/e Is there a bonus to the recovered/healed units after a battle if you have this unit in a stack? I have always wondered this and would like to know if anyone else has info on it. Its hard to simulate but would make sense I suppose.

I don't see any healing ability.

I dont see that either... but they are clerics all the same... clerics are in most games healers... so I thot it be possible at least. Plus a cleric or priest in med times were used both to bless the troops and as "medics" of a sort since both sides (even moslem) usually wouldnt target unarmed priests.

Perhaps a more fanciful than practical concept.

I went for Sipahi Lancers, not a popular choice I imagine, but for me medium, mobile cavalry that still have a proper formed charge with lances are always preferable to elite heavy cav, which I tend to use as more of a specialist unit. I find they tend to be very vulnerable to missiles (especially javelins) and are so slow that they take forever to perform a flanking maneuver, by which time half of my (poor bloody) infantry are dead. So I prefer a unit which can still crush a unit of weaker infantry in a headlong charge, but which can get where they're needed quickly and are cheap and easy to replace or retrain.
