Unit Description
Gendarmes are available to the Aragonese, Burgundians, French, Italians, and Spanish during the Late period. They are Elite like knights, but are more controllable. They carry the standard cavalry shield which protects them in melee and from missile weapons, but only get half the protection it would normally give.
Gendarmes 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. Gendarmes are armed with swords instead of lances, making their charge less effective than that of knights, so depending on the circumstances it might be better to leave them in combat instead of pulling them out for another charge.
In any battle, Gendarmes may be dismounted for Chivalric Men-at-Arms.
