In Age of Empires and the Rise of Rome expansion, the Stable is one of the major types of military buildings. Once the building is constructed, it produces cavalry including Chariots, Cavalry and War Elephants. It is also used to upgrade cavalry to a stronger version of themselves. Ultimate units such as the Armored Elephant and the Cataphract can only be trained once the Iron Age is reached. It can be built in the Tool Age once the Barracks are built beforehand.

The Stable in Age of Empires II is primarily designed to train cavalry units. It is available from Feudal Age onward, and can also be used to garrison units as they're trained. It can build Knights, Camels, and Scout Cavalry. It can also upgrade these units. The Stable is not avaliable to the Mesoamerican Aztecs and Mayans.

OverviewEdit

As the Middle Ages continued, the rise in importance of mounted warriors created demand for larger numbers of horses, which was bred and maintained at the stable. A variety of horses were bred, including horses for long-distance travel, fast horses for quick movement, and the heavy charger. Scout and light cavalry units needed quick horses with lots of stamina. Heavy chargers of great strength were required to carry fully armored knights into a charge. Mounted warriors trained at the stable as well, learning the skills of fighting from horseback with spear, lance, sword, flail, mace, and hammer. In other parts of the world, camels and elephants were bred and maintained for mounted combat.

Age of Empires III Edit

In Age of Empires III, Stables can train a variety of Cavalry, depending on the civilization type. Cavalry is primarily used to counter many things including artillery and infantry. In the early stages of a game, you can train and improve War Wagon, Cavalry archers, Ruyters, Uhlans, Cuirassier, Hussar, and Dragoons.

Unlike previous games, ranged cavalry are produced from the Stable rather than the Archery Range.
