Where are the Stradiots?

[Sun of Chersonesos]

They're pretty sturdy for fast-moving cav. I've seen them hold their own for a time against generals' BGs in a brawl, and they're certainly good enough to catch and pin them down long enough for heavy cav to arrive if it comes to that.

Well that's true now but before patch 1.2 they used to be almost amazing and they could beat a lot of knights in the late period. But since the patch the CA have fixed the light cavalry bug where lighter cav like Alans (Alan Light Cavalry) were more powerful and cheaper.

They used to be good in melee because they also have Armour Piercing so certainly before the patch they were absolutely amazing against knights.
