That looks fantastic. Funny enough I was thinking about a mounted templer earlier. Really looks great. :)

well, heavy knight is already a powerfull unit, so if it is an ipgrade for that, that woulx be extremely op.

It should be an upgrade for templar. We can keep all stats of the temlplar, but raise it'y hp, movement, power.

Good idea, the templar becomes a bit useless later on, an improvement would make it more useful
It should also be trainable at a church tough

attack - 10
range - 1
armor - 1
pierce armor - 2
speed - 4 or 5

Hp 40
Power 13
Armor 3
Armor pierce 3
Speed 5
Heal rate 7
Sight 4

Same bonuses with knights
Pikemen, halberdiers, lancers and heavy lancers should have same bonuses againist templar knight as againist knight

I would not use him if he cost 8 turns.

Never...

Anyway making it an upgrade can allow us to give him better stats than its cost and to make a good use of the church in later games

Templar knight is absolutely different unit than templar. Templar knight is MOUNTED templar NOT.

Of course it is, but having the templar being trained at the church, right now, it might be an improvement (adding movement and some stuff on the basic templar).
I fear that the templar knight, made as it is, would just become another useless expensive unit that you won't use because an heavy knight has a better price/cost ratio...

Why not just have this as a new unit, and have a different tech that improves the Templar if you are worried about him being underpowered with no tech to upgrade him. I would prefer an upgrade that makes him fight better than one that makes him faster. I think the Templar Knight should be its own unit without being a tech upgrade to the existing Templar.

Templar knight should be like knight but stronger and have healing ability.

Ok, let's put it that way...
There are som mounted units that cost more than a knight but after the knight upgrade to heavy knight they becomes outmatched.
The templar already has a high cost compared to other units and i believe he needs an upgrade.
On the other end if you make a templar knight that cost more than a simple templar you'll have another unit that will be easily outmatched.

Then i'd just make him an upgrade that is stronger than the templar and faster too.

I voted this unit but i would probably never use it as it is now.

Re: Unit - Templar Knight - ACCEPTED

I've thought about it some more, and at first I thought that you were right, but now I think you might be looking at it wrong. The major use of Templar for me, is that they are the only unit with a healing ability that can be at the front lines. But I don't use him often either. (Not my playing style)

Templar are a sword melee unit. That means they are used primarily against structures NOT mounted. You should not be fighting your Templar against knights, much less heavy knights. So your argument that they are outmatched to heavy knights is only valid for units that fight heavy knights (i.e. Pikemen and Lancers which have already been upgraded), not mounted units that aren't meant to fight heavy knights (i.e. Hussars, light cavalry). Otherwise we should just say that archers are outmatched versus heavy knights and make all stats the same!

The stats I suggested sacrifice a little armor for speed and power (in regards to the other Templar). And its cost is 5.

But I saw you opened a section for the Templar upgrade (he will still be sword then) which will be cool. :)
Thanks!

Why templar in aos is not mounted? Templars were knights that fighted on heavy cavalry.

Maybe knight templars stats should be knights stats+healing ability and cost 6.

Coolguy I was comparing costs. If we compare 2 templar with 5 man at arms i can easily see wich one is better...
Aniway... after some testing we might create an upgrade for that unit too...

Actually, you're wrong. The Templar could win because they can heal themselves. Btw you left out the cost for researching the techs needed for man-at-arms: 2 Templar is 12 turns - in that time you can only research the two techs needed with no units.
In the long run, upgrading pays off. You get a good unit that can be made cheaply. But a horde of Man-at-arms versus an army of Templar is an even match. The greatest strategy will win.

But yes, I think we can, eventually. (and it will be cool then too) :)

For the stats, I combined the Templar and the Knight's. Because really they were very similar anyway. So as long as it is satisfactory, this unit is ready! :)

cost: 5
hp: 32
attack: 10
range: 1
armor: 2
pierce: 2
speed: 5
sight: 5
heal rate: 5
resistance: 100%

Cost 5 seems reasonable and will make it a bit more useful in the long run

stats here are not ok.
this unit has exactly same stats as templar, but can move 5 tiles a turn, and costs 1 turn less.

i have to change it because templar will not be produced ever if templar knight has these stats
(btw i changed the cost of templar to 5 since 6 was too expensive i think, tell me i i am wrong, and maybe templar knight could be turn6 costed)

also we had a unit called crusader horseman and veteran crusader horseman with these images, was this considered?:

I like my image better.
