Dismounted Faction Knights

[pevergreen]

Each is different.

Chilvaric Knights should be the same but better
English Knights are two handed, so they are bugged (attack animations)
Imperial Knights are Amour Piercing, so more effective against other Knights.

Hope that helps

Indeed, thank you. My experience was mostly with English knights, which seemed to get absolutely trashed by even crappy spear militia units. I suppose my prejudice against them carried over to other factions.

Yes, unfortunately the 2h weapon animation is a little buggy. Sometimes in vanilla you get it to work right and you are treated to your units massacring whatever they were sent against! But other times.. not so much.

Imperial Knights are a lot of fun too, as pever said they have maces and are good to take down other knights. It can really make taking out France/England toward the high/late game a lot easier.

Their morale of 5 and lower attack/defense stats don't exactly help with that though

Well, I also like the sound of Imperial Knights. I mean, come on!

But in all seriousness, I haven't played HRE in forever. Perhaps I am confusing them with their feudal brethren in their effectiveness. Ah well.

Are the 2h'ers still bugged in retrofit? And are any better at other units besides infantry?
What about the armoured swordsmen. Is it only the English who get em? And how do they compare the list above?

AS are almost identical to DFKs with slightly better stats and 1 more armor upgrade (and cheaper too i believe) Only england gets them
