All There in the Manual: The history of mankind before they spread through the universe can be read on the Commander's Guide.The Alcatraz: Skantzoura in the SMC and the prison planets Lari and Belgirate in the LMC where Yuri and his crew are interned after escaping the SMC.The Large Magellanic Cloud is a lot more structured and less friendly to independent mercenaries, however only the toughest and deadliest Dogs can operate freely there. At least until the Lugovalians take over. Adventure-Friendly World: Independent Zero-G Dogs are an integral part of the setting to the point where the lines between 'mercenary' and 'national army' often blur, and the Cosmic Trade Authority and the Space Pioneering Law have established a Small Magellanic Cloud in a constant state of near anarchy, where anyone with a few thousand credits and a lot of luck, skill and cojones can become a king.Abusive Precursors: Sure, the Overlord gives us lots of technology in the exodus from Earth and left the void gates around for us to use, but that's only for us to complete our duty, after that they will proceed to destroy the universe.Absent Aliens: Subverted, just that there ARE aliens, but they are the ones who create the universe.2-D Space: Gameplay-wise it's only One-D, but in cutscenes battles are portrayed in Two-D.And so the day of the knight passed away, despite those archaic вЂњknightlyвЂќ orders still scattered about.ДЄdded in the Rise and Fall expansion pack.ДЄdded in the Gathering Storm expansion pack. Too, eventually the unchivalrous commoners were armed with pikes and longbows, the bane of mounted knights. Unfortunately, not many battles were fought on dry, open ground. Through the Dark Ages (and slightly beyond) knights dominated the open battlefield, able to trample the fleeing commoners. The knightly tradition arose from the Roman equites, an equestrian order that comprised the lower of the two aristocratic ranks of the Empire. Since the mounts and accoutrements and life-style of a knight were extremely expensive, it just wasnвЂ™t for the commoners (they got to be foot-soldiers).

In the Middle Ages, a knight was usually the wastrel son of a noble family who, having served his apprenticeship in war as a page and squire, had been raised to honorable rank and bound to chivalrous conduct (more an ideal than a practice). Killing a unit with a Knight triggers the Eureka for Military Science. Since neither of these resources is required by any other non- unique units after this point, if the civilization you are playing has a unique unit that utilizes one of these two resources, it is advisable that you choose to focus on Knights or Coursers based on which resources are more available to you without hindering the time window of your unique unit.

However, there is more to the story in this pairing that needs to be taken into account than the Cuirassier- Cavalry pairing: the Courser is cheaper to build and maintain, and uses Horses instead of Iron. The Knight-Courser pairing follows the classic strength formula: the heavy cavalry unit has slightly higher raw Combat Strength but is slower which, together with their respective promotion tables, makes the heavy cavalry an expert in domination while the light cavalry is better at pillaging and harassing. In Gathering Storm, the Knight no longer totally dominates the Medieval battlefield, as it now has competition in the form of the Courser, the new Medieval light cavalry unit. With its superior Combat Strength, a force of Knights can lay waste not only to armies, but also to poorly defended cities. A veritable mountain of iron armor equipped with a sharp lance, the Knight is a specialist in charging and breaking the enemy line. The Knight is the most powerful standard land unit up until the Renaissance Era, being slightly weaker only to Pikemen with their special bonus against cavalry. It upgrades to a Cuirassier, and requires 20 Iron to train. In the Gathering Storm expansion, the Knight's Production cost is increased from 180 to 220, its Gold purchasing cost is increased from 720 to 880, and its Gold maintenance cost is increased from 3 to 4.

It upgrades from the Heavy Chariot (or its replacements, except the Maryannu Chariot Archer), the Hetairoi, or the War-Cart and requires Iron. The Knight is a Medieval Era heavy cavalry unit in Civilization VI. Hard-hitting, Medieval era heavy cavalry unit.
