Default re Knights

I tend to only buy elite troops as I found when I started the other types ran away too much while my knights etc did the business. Of course it's so long since I used dross that I may get better value from it now.

Anyway knights will tend to tear through every indy without loss once you get a critical mass of them 10 or so on indy 6. This may make them too slow to be useful & sub critical massses suffer attrition.
Some support from casters or missile troops does no harm & you need sappers or some mass if you are not Ulm for sieges.

Pure knights are very vulnerable to certain counters - Smite for example especially Ulm's MR 9 Version but if you avoid these they do not actually need battlefield support.
