Cavalry

Cavalry is the light horse of your realm. It is almost as fast as spies and paladins, carries more loot than any other unit and has a powerful attack. In return it costs much more than infantry and takes up four settlers per unit.

Strengths and weaknesses

• + Highest carrying capacity in the game and very fast – ideal for plunder raids against players and bandit camps.
• – In defence, infantry gives you more for the same money.

Choose the “Plunder” option when attacking: your troops then bring home more resources but destroy fewer enemies (see Attacking). Send cavalry without slow companions whenever possible, otherwise you waste its speed. On wild animal hunts it may join against lynxes. It hits the Glowtail hard, but achieves hardly anything against the other dragons.
