The ultimate knights superbly protected by sophisticated plate armour. With good morale and heavy armour, this unit can tackle anything.
Overview
These elite warriors are arguably the ultimate evolution of the medieval knight. Their armour has been perfected by decades of experience, and whilst heavy, the weight is well distributed giving them ample flexibility. Combined with the knightly spirit of old, the only thing they need fear is a well aimed musket bullet.
Details
Lancers are effective heavy cavalry, specialized in charging. They carry no shields, but are more heavily armored than comparable units like Chivalrous knights, making them more vulnerable to archers, but less vulnerable to melee.
