Heavy cav are actaully now even more effective than they were in VI...

The thing is, now the knights cost a lot more, so its impossible to get an army of purely elite troops. Armies in Dux must consist of a good balance between heavy and light, expensive and inexpensive troops. A well timed charge from a unit of chivalric knights can sweep the battlefield clean!, but if you want the rest of your army to be strong, taking more than 2 or 3 units of CK is a bad plan.

The same applies to infantry, for 900 florrins you can buy hospitaller spearmen which will repell almost any attack if used correctly.. But IF your entire main line is made of hospitaller spearmen, chances are your cavalry forces will be quite meager.. and so you will be more suseptable to getting flanked during the melee which renders any heavy spear unit almost useless.


Happy Dux'ing !

Ill see you all online later
