With 5 , the Cavalry is the fastest land unit of the Industrial Era, and in fact of several later eras. While once the strongest unit of their era, they have been surpassed in later updates by the Line Infantry and, in Gathering Storm, by the Cuirassier, a slower but more powerful heavy cavalry unit.
Cavalry are most useful for their ability to out-position the enemy and for flanking and pillaging. Siege units and ranged units suffer horribly from Cavalry attacks. The Cavalry is a master pillager, especially with the Depredation ; the Cuirassier and the Line Infantry, however, are better at taking cities.
