The Royal Stratiotai is the Greek unique Heavy Cavalry of the Enlightenment Age that replaces the standard Cuirassier.

Overview

Compared to Cuirassiers, Royal Stratiotai have +3 movement speed, making them the fastest Heavy Cavalry. This means that Royal Stratiotai can function as a rapid response unit, almost as much as Light Cavalry, easily outrunning Ranged Cavalry and being even more capable than standard Heavy Cavalry to eliminate the already vulnerable Gunpowder Infantry. Royal Stratiotai also do +5% damage against all units and buildings, which makes them more lethal in all situations.
