Heavy Knight to Cataphract IMPLEMENTED

[LordOfAles]

Trilancer, and lets stick to Cavalier for now, what about him?

[godOfKings]

Wat is there to talk about him? U have given the stats, the pictures and everything and now it only depends on wat cool guy and Daniel thinks and whether it is ready for voting or not. So instead let's talk about how to balance the game if this was actually implemented

Everything is summed into first post

[Stratego (dev)]

is it the third upgrade of knight? how come it goes +1 speed?

[LordOfAles]

Maybe its +1 speed, but that is why his cost is +2 higher

Is it good?

[Stratego (dev)]

upgraded things can not change turncost.

[LordOfAles]

No, i meant his tech is 2 turns higher

[MRkimchi]

Then they can one-shot every polearm unit, so I guess there should be some new anti-cavalry unit(Which is not a special unit)

[godOfKings]

How about increase Bonus Rate % Against Enemies, +5 HP?
My Balanced opinion? Agree?

That is y I was also talking about a third upgrade for halberdier

[Detros]

Bit more armor, hp and damage for 3rd level of knight are OK but do not give it more speed. Being faster while having stronger armor just doesn't make sense.
And upgraded knights with 6 speed would make all those lighter cavalry units soon obsolete. Why would one bother with hussars then?

If any changes in speed should be done, make lev3 knights actually only speed 4: more armored and much more healthy variant of chariot, for one extra turn and with long research time.

[General Brave]

It will become slower but stronger, a choice that you are really going to make.

[godOfKings]

If that is the upgrade, then I would rather vote for the shield knight unit, and its upgrade in the future

[General Brave]

If he's wearing more armor shouldn't he be more heavier which means slower. It wouldn't make sense for him to go even faster unless it's opposite in this world.

[godOfKings]

The role of defensive 4 speed unit belongs to shield Knight not upgraded Knight

[Puss_in_Boots]

Yeah, knights are heavy duty combat units. Flexible ones as well.

[General Brave]

Could there be a javelin on horseback? Pretty sure the speed and the velocity will bring most opponent.

[Midonik]

There were topic about horse skimrisher,Im almost sure they called it "javelin knight".

[General Brave]

And where is the topic?

[COOLguy]

Merged these two topics

[Stratego (dev)]

accepted please someone make json for it and the tech - thanks!

[Stratego (dev)]

implemented will be in next update

[StormSaint373]

Sharpened Sword... Was too boxy.

Can this be put in @Stratego?

[Morningwarrior]

REALLY THAT A IMENSE VARIATION OF THIS UNIT,MAYBE the others for exemple can have this!?,i think 5 levels of upgrade is good.

[Morningwarrior]

I hope there levels of upgrade for each unit is maximum,but add a four upgrade...i do know.

Do You realize it's old topic, that was already implemented ?
It talked about 3rd unit in knight line - Heavy Knight upgrade - Cavalier - just old proposed name was left.

[Morningwarrior]

Maybe the name is "elite cavalier or royal cavalier".

[Morningwarrior]

no, now that I realize that heavy knight is not cavalier, I thought it was cavalier for cataphract.grr 2x inattentive

[Puss_in_Boots]

Still, Cataphract should be implemented as its own unit.

[godOfKings]

can byzantine empire be considered 'late roman' ? then we could group it with rome after some age advancing tech or roman garrison upgrade, or should we make it stand-alone like hussars? what other notable units were there in byzantine?
