The Heavy Knight is the standard Heavy Cavalry of the 
Gunpowder Age, available to upgrade from the Knight as soon as the age is reached. Like all cavalry of the age, it is trained and upgraded at the Stable.
Overview
After Knights become Heavy Knights, they gain +25 hit points, +1 attack strength, +1 line of sight, +1 moves, meaning they move about 0.1 tiles per second faster.
Heavy Knights will soundly beat up most units, except for Heavy Infantry, and if enough of them can defeat any force, as long as they are properly supported, because powerful as they are, they will still need some cover fire against Heavy Infantry, support for taking down buildings, and maybe some assistance against evasive Ranged Cavalry if present.
Unique units
- The French train Horse Grenadier instead of Heavy Knight.
- The Greeks train Stratiotai instead of Heavy Knight.
