Heavy Knight to Cataphract IMPLEMENTED

[Alexander82]

What about another improvement for the knight?
like the infantry that has 2 improvement, a third one to make the most armored knight

[Alex486]

Maybe leave heavy knight where it is at and have research option in the black snith called plate mail which only the knights get. Maybe a +2 to armour, but no change to pierce armour since crossbow bolts punch wholes in plate mail much petter than spears, axes, and swords.

[Alexander82]

Then it might be better to give a bonus to archers against armored units, maybe an higher armor piercing

[silentz27]

Aheheh just for fun like mat at arm I think this is the 2nd upgrade of the knight he he

[Alex486]

I think we should add. Maybe no change in stats, but ability to attack twice.

[Alexander82]

It had been proposed before, but i remember that Daniel said that the heavy knight wouldn't need an upgrade right now.
I think there are more units that need an upgrade (like samurai, axeman and such)

[LordOfAles]

How About the name shall be:

Elite Knight
Master Knight
Great Knight
Metal/Silver Knight
Super Knight
Royal Knight

[LordOfAles]

Hmm, Silver Knight sounds good, name updated

[godOfKings]

Cavaliers were technically upgrades of Knight in aoe

[LordOfAles]

Yeah but silver knight sounds cool also

[MightyGuy]

Ohh, Nice to meet you, it seems you are new here, welcome to our forum

[Midonik]

Errr... Why silver? His weapon or armor are made of silver or what? It doesnt make sense,silver is way too soft.

[MightyGuy]

How about Elite Knight?

[LordOfAles]

Soft? i thought its hard... maybe just Cavalier?

[Midonik]

Pretty common but makes sense.

[MightyGuy]

It's sounds like cavalry , anyway .. I Like The Cavalier Too.

[godOfKings]

In the picture I think there should b some kinds of indication for the Knight's leg

[godOfKings]

Mighty guy did u mean me? Actually I am playing this for like 5 months but joined the forum recently so I am new I guess. Thanks

[LordOfAles]

Nice catch, fixed

[MightyGuy]

Add some metal armor to horse's clothing to make it more cool.

[LordOfAles]

Actually horse armor is UNDER clothes, so no need

I thought head armor and leg armor might indicate that

[LordOfAles]

Others thoughts?

[DoomCarrot]

As if heavy knights are not already so powerful

Nice image though, and stats seem reasonable.

[godOfKings]

Just one problem, now this knight can also kill halberdiers in one hit so it might be possible that it is overused, actually in large maps heavy knights r already overused because of their mobility so this would make it more... op I guess. How about instead of this we think about an upgrade for templar knight it is never used anyways

[godOfKings]

I got a name, holy knight (since crusader and paladin is already taken ) stat increase and upgrade cost same and for picture add a red cross to this picture. Just making movement six and giving 13 damage (enough to kill halberdiers) makes it worth the cost of 6 turns.

[LordOfAles]

We can always make an upgrade of halberdier

[godOfKings]

NO THANKS. They can already deal 55 damage at max upgrade, anymore and they will kill elephants in one hit. May be their bonus could be reduced and then we could think about an upgrade that wouldn't be killed in one hit

[MightyGuy]

How about increase Bonus Rate % Against Enemies, +5 HP?
My Balanced opinion? Agree?

[godOfKings]

That could work but we will never know wat it might lead to until we use them in battle. And especially such a super strong knight now having 6 speed as well. But any idea wat the name of halberdier upgrade might b?
