Cavalry troops move very quickly on horseback, and have devastating attacks.

Where to use

• Cavalry can be used for quick attacks against other players. They are especially useful when the enemy is online.
• Cavalry make nice raiders of low level barbarian camps (up to lvl 3), because of their decent load and high speed.
• Because of this same speed and load, they're also nice troops to use if you need to quickly transport resources between (alliance's) cities
• They are good for destroying wall mounted crossbows. They are good to take out spike barriers but make sure there are no wall mounted crossbows, cavalry wont die against a city with only spiked barriers they will clear the spikes then you can send supply wagons in.
• Do not use against big armies of pikemen.
• Do not use on defend.
