Cav - great but expensive. Probly a no-buy?
I've never used them myself, but they probably have a role.


graemes advice is great

my use for ulmish cav is the following :
they and sappers have 2 strat movement as only ulmish units .
mastersmith have 2 strat move too .

since sappers count as 5 units when sieging i buy as ulm only sappers , mastersmith + cavalry .

the sappers shoot more often than the arlabests but don't harm my cav normally .
this way i have strat 2 movement , thnx to the sapper ability can storm every castle and i have a small but powerful force which doesn't need to care much about supply .



against indeps i put the knights on flanking attacks .
against humans the knights are normally on hold + attack while my mastersmith + my sappers do quite nice damage especially the mastersmiths
