The Knight is the most powerful standard land unit up until the Renaissance Era, being slightly weaker only to Pikemen with their special bonus against cavalry. A veritable mountain of iron armor equipped with a sharp lance, the Knight is a specialist in charging and breaking the enemy line. With its superior Combat Strength, a force of Knights can lay waste not only to armies, but also to poorly defended cities.
In Gathering Storm, the Knight no longer totally dominates the Medieval battlefield, as it now has competition in the form of the Courser, the new Medieval light cavalry unit. The Knight-Courser pairing follows the classic strength formula: the heavy cavalry unit has slightly higher raw Combat Strength but is slower which, together with their respective promotion tables, makes the heavy cavalry an expert in domination while the light cavalry is better at pillaging and harassing.
