Knight/Stronghold Crusader

The knight is a powerful unit, who possesses powerful attack and strong armour. He automatically spawns on horseback when recruited, and cannot dismount. Even so, he is devastating against light armor and to buildings, further bolstered by his capability of quickly crossing the map with near unmatched speed.
Knights cannot use stairs or attack targets on top of walls or structures, meaning they cannot finish off a lord on top of their keep, nor dig and fill in moats.
Knights require a free peasant from the campfire, 1 sword, 1 metal armour and 1 horse, with a sum of 40 gold to recruit.

== Trivia ==
* While they require swords when recruited, some knights are armed with lances instead. This has no effect on their combat ability.
* When ordered to attack, sword wielding knights start swinging their weapon to show their eagerness for battle once they get close enough to the enemy, shortly before they reach melee range.
* Both types of sword and lance wielding knights have the same death animations, falling with a sword and shield.
