Details
Clothed in armour from head to toe, Gothic Knights are one of the best cavalry units in the game. Even their horses are heavily armoured!They can deliver a deadly charge and can survive in melee against nearly all heavy infantry. Their armour piercing mace means that no foe, whether armoured or not, can escape them. Their only weakness are spears and, like every cavalry unit, will fall victim if the player is foolish enough to charge them head on. Unfortunately, it is impossible, without the aid of modding, to use Gothic Knights in campaign but they can still be used in multiplayer and custom battles.
