Household Cavalry (ETW Unit)

Household cavalry are cavalry units available to some European countries in Empire: Total War.

Overview

Household cavalry are the cream of any cavalry available, simply outclassing almost every other heavy cavalry type in every way, although they have slightly less morale than general's bodyguards. Essentially more numerous, superior, and more expendable general's bodyguards, household cavalry can be counted on for the most dangerous of fighting. On top of this, they serve to inspire nearby units to continue fighting-this is truly a unit to be thrown into the thick of a battle! Household cavalrys' only weaknesses are their expensive recruiting and upkeep costs, and the limited number that may be recruited (6 maximum). In this regard they are closely resemble guards, their infantry counterparts.
