Their presence weakens as the economy develops, when unique units, Pikemen, Heavy Camel Riders, and siege weapons come into play. Knights are best used in the Castle Age, when they have few effective counters. It is advised to pair Archers with Knights to counter these three types of units. Monks are also a threat, mostly because Knights are very expensive and strong enough to be a primary targets for enemy Monks while not having any conversion resistance, unlike scout units. Its ferocity can only be matched in terms of both attack power and speed by the Camel Rider, though a line of Pikemen could also serve as a good defense, provided they can catch them. With its high attack, hit points, and natural armor, it can easily stand up against most opposition.
The Knight, being the primary shock unit of most armies, is one of the most effective units used to disrupt enemy villages, destroy colonies, or diminish an enemy garrison. Technologies affecting this unit are Forging, Iron Casting, and Blast Furnace. The only bonus this unit receives is the creation speed bonus of the Aztecs. However, due to the lack of further upgrades (Cavalier, Paladin) and important technologies (like Bloodlines, Husbandry and Blacksmith cavalry armor technologies), these tend to lose their charm in the Imperial Age. If a Meso-American civilization gets a Stable (either by conversion or by triggers), they can train a Xolotl Warrior, which has exactly the same stats as the Knight. Knights are available to all civilizations except for the Aztecs, Bengalis, Dravidians, Gurjaras, Hindustanis, Incas, and Mayans. However, they are still susceptible to certain weaknesses, such as overwhelming firepower, Monks, Camel Riders, or Pikemen. Their ability to most slaughter infantry, archers, lighter cavalry, and siege weapons is unparalleled in the Castle Age, where they often form the primary fighting force. The Knight is a heavy cavalry unit in Age of Empires II that can be trained at the Stable once the Castle Age is reached. I feel like a baseball player who can't hit a curve anymore.Paladins and Knights taking out enemy infantry. I can't for the life of me keep up my economy like I used to. I was a Mongol rush player in my golden years, but there are all these new civilizations I've wanted to try out and I just stick it on random to see if I like a different style now, but every civ results in my embarrassing demise.
My rank is crashing, team mates message me during games, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THESE VILLAGERS HERE?" and I'm like, "Oh, don't worry, they're totally building this that and the other thing at this very second! What a coincidence you should ask me!" I used to rock this back in the day and now I'm staring at shit like, "How did that guy get to the Castle Age already when I just got to Feudal like 8 minutes ago? WHERE DID ALL THESE KNIGHTS COME FROM? FUCKKKKK." I downloaded it last week because I loved it and because I wanted to relive my glory days of RTS games and this one in particular.
