CBM Cavalry
I'm wondering what everyone's favorite CBM cav unit is. I've been scanning over some of the cost changes in the mod and a few things have already jumped out at me:
1. Serpent Cataphracts. Already a decent unit, they get a 25% cost reduction and their resource cost cut almost in half. 45 gold and 29 resources for, essentially, nearly 40 HP at 17 prot with decent defense, a 15 damage range 3 animal attack, and a beast form with (if memory serves) -more- morale than the original. Please, sir, may I have some more?
2. Royal Guard. A universal 40% reduction puts these guys in an odd position. While lance-less and with slightly below average protection for their weight class, they pack kite shields which dovetail beautifully with the mass of bolts that Marignon likes to throw out and they also carry an enormous 19 defense.
Honorable mention goes to the Equite. While their stats are still nothing to write home about, they got a significant cost reduction. Decent move and a light lance gives a powerful one-shot flank option.
I've always considered cav units to be something of a niche/luxury, but CBM looks like it's out to change that.
Any other contenders for CBM heavyweights?
