Unit Description
Armenian Heavy Cavalry are available to all Muslim factions from Armenia, Lesser Armenia, and Rum. They are Elite like knights, but are more controllable. Armenian Heavy Cavalry carry the standard cavalry shield which protects them in melee and from missile weapons.
Armenian Heavy Cavalry tactics are the same as most Knight and heavy cavalry units: flank the enemy, charge them in the rear, repeat as necessary. Avoid frontal charges into spear and pike units, avoid polearm units unless an instant rout is assured, and avoid camels. Armenian Heavy Cavalry stats are somewhat weaker than most heavy cavalry, so they should not be left in combat for too long, they are best when charging and not mired in melee.
Armenian Heavy Cavalry trained in Armenia gain a +1 bonus to valour.
In siege battles, Armenian Heavy Cavalry may be dismounted for Feudal Sergeants.
