The Cavalier is a heavy Cavalry unit that is an upgrade of a Knight and is only featured in Age of Empires II. The Technology that upgrades Knights to Cavaliers is available for 300 Food and 300 Gold at the Stable once Imperial Age is reached.

It is only unavaliable to Aztecs, Mayans and Saracens.

Overview Edit

The Cavalier is a heavy, strong, but quick cavalry unit. The Cavalier is more powerful than the former Knights, and it is still very effective at destroying Siege units and Archers. The Cavalier can be further upgraded into the Paladin.

The Cavalier is not a very common unit, as they can be upgraded to the Paladin in the same Age. However, it is very important to note that not every civilization is able to research the Paladin upgrade (namely East Asian Civilizations). Also, Cavaliers are already quite powerful without being upgraded to Paladins, so the upgrade may not be necessary to some players.
