Some questions about cavalry units?

Post by Sasarai10 »

-Why weapon is changed from sword to spear?
-Why cavlalry units are classified as "infantry" (if they aren't archers or mages) when infantry means on foot?
-Archers and mages are considered infantry if they are on foot as well,don't they? So basically we should have 8 different types.

-swords,spears,bows,mages (on foot)
-sword,spears,bows,mages (cavalry)

edit: btw,if Riou engages in combat,he's appearing to be one of the soldiers using his tonfa...and he rides a white horse if his unit becomes cavalry....

what the hell? :?:

the enemies are further away from you if you're riding on top of a horse, so a spear is better for fighting on horseback.

Cavalry units are considered Infantry units in S2 because Cavalry is a support ability that change the unit's appearance, not a separate attack type. Infantry has a move of 1 and a range of 1, Archers have a move of 1 and a range of 2, and Mages have a move of 1 and a range of 3. Cavalry can be added to any of these without changing the unit type. Flik, for example, is an Archer unit with the Cavalry ability.

In SV Cavalry units use swords because Spear is a separate unit type with different stats than regular Infantry (increased attack and defense/reduced speed, if I recall correctly).
