The shift of melee cavalry to ranged cavalry accompanies a tactical shift of the role of the unit. Ranged cavalry units also have a more ambiguous tactical role as they generally trade their strong charge bonus stats for a ranged attack, leaving the unit incapable of forcing opposing units into difficult morale checks. In order to recruit ranged cavalry you to first must research the technology of carbines. Ranged cavalry are a more advanced offshoot of traditional cavalry. Due to the limited number of cavalry you should have in your armies this trade-off can be quite beneficial if you have an economy that can support it. These advanced units often have an improved charge bonus and defense stat but are quite expensive. The charged unit suffers morale penalties for each of the following: being charged by cavalry, recent losses, being attacked from the flank, and if you kill a general during the charge loss of a general.Īs you progress through the campaign mode a variety of more advanced melee cavalry will become available. This charge attack not only does a large amount of damage because melee cavalry units tend to have high charge bonuses, but it also saddles the charged unit with a challenging morale check. The best way to use melee cavalry is to have them flank around the majority of the opposing force then unleash a devastating charge by double right clicking on the flank of an artillery unit, general's unit, or other damaged unit. Melee cavalry units best fill the tactical role of cavalry in an army. Some varieties of melee cavalry are available to all the factions immediately in campaign mode. Melee cavalry units have no ranged attack but have a very high charge bonus and attack. Melee cavalry is the most basic and most useful type of cavalry.
