| yeah but knights are the slowest .. :) only griffins and cavalries that I really have to "THUMBS UP" for the inits .. :) |
| 719: Treefolk as very low attack and very low initiative. Because of this and its entangle treefolks mainly acts as bowmen protectors. Certainly great in certain Merc and hunts, not good in other battles. |
| okay. I'm about to try the a merc quest. It's a Vanguard of knights. What do you think I should do? |
for AJackal:
Its already too late but dont try anything else than vanguard of wizards. Its about the only one you can beat at level 4 |

| are xbow's really all that better than bowmen?? its rare for a unit to be within 3 tiles of an archer for Aimed Shot, and the xbowmen dont have volley! volley seems awesome for killing clumps of casters like druids and magi ! do you only get same amount of bowmen as xbowmen? |
| thank u. Anways what do think I should put as my first talent at lvl. 5? Rally, Basic fortune, basic defense, what? |
for 726
xbow is really better
for 7 levels you familiar with volley, so you thinks its great.
but lv 8 is a big change in the way of fighting.
the using of xbow is very different from bowmen.
one thing to say is
"put your xbow under strong protection and
i can say that a lot of unit died with aim shot. ^_^
two more proves are no more bowmen in higher level 's troop and someone use diamond upgrade asap. |
#727:
Generally, go for Escort for level 5. Since it's unique to knights and knights troops are slow by nature, escort helps u to deal much more damage than the other talents.
Of course, it varies from situations, but u can always change/reset your talents instantly at no cost. :) |
726.
With Expert Holy Magic, Bless makes xbows damage 8-8 <- Big cheat =D. And as for clumps of druids and magis u get monks to the aid as well .. :) |

it means we have to build mage guilds and spend talent points on magic
really costly
is being a non-mage knight less advanced at high lv? |
| Actually just the 2-8 damage range for xbow is a huge improvement over bowmen. Aim shot is just extra bonus. Also xbow have 50% more hp. One of the biggest weaknesses of bowmen is that they die too easily. |
Also xbow have 50% more hp
According to that 'graphic' list, bowmen have 7 HP, while xbow have 10 HP. But I know what u mean, that +3 p/stack plus the +1 defense could make quite a difference. :) |

It also work the other way around.
A single curse and x-bow turns into crap-bow :p |

Really!?! Ehh.. I have a weak heart for a knight, pls dun say such stuff to scare me.. |
| xbow rulez this game , no others units cant do so big dmg .Holy knight is more usefull for MQ and hunts. |
| what tallent should i get along with escort at lv 6 ? |
About crossbowmen
one thing i can say is "to prove by yourself" |
| I'm thinking about going with Unholy Knight build. Would that be good for Group battles? |

yeah, a wiz come to knight thread to piss all other knight off? can i complain wiz is too good with spell? 1 zap kill 5 guardians?
come on, knight is slow. in return, they get better hp and def to prevent knight lose most of the unit in 1st turn.

unholy knight? i assume you are mention knight is not using holy spell much. you still can go dark knight or pure might knight. due to talent point, get in lv7 before you start to ask about dark knight :)
any posts after 726>

- xbow: are they really good?
the only difference btw xbow before lv8 is on the non-pvp fight. xbow doesnt seems good in pvp before lv8. for me, i had kick a knight with diamond in lv7. he expect xbow can save his butt from my kicking.
"protect your xbow with all cost", this only apply if you are using max xbow as major dmg output in non-pvp fight. in my pvp case, i seldom protect xbow hard but just try to not let them die too fast if they are not magor strength.
even xbow has better hp, max dmg, ability and def than bowmen, but in the cost of those, xbow lose the ini. it can be devastate for you. most of our bowmen always die before move, so it still change nothing after become xbow.
higher max dmg = screw you up sometimes. if you are not going to spell at all, try to not use max xbow as major strength.
without bless and you are not lucky, imagine that 104 xbow only deal 300+ dmg even with aimed shot, now you got it? due to the max dmg increased, xbow is always the target for curse and confusion.
conclusion: like 738 said, go to prove it by yourself.

- spell power, invest or not?
if you are interest on spell BUT not going to invest any spell power, you still can get benefit of spell. it will be abit tough for you to get Sp on other way.
after lv10, you will have ENOUGH talent point and get twilight(+3 Sp on both holy and dark spell). but, you will end up with +3 sp on holy and +8 Sp on dark due to a must on fallen knight(+5 Sp on dark). therefore, you still have to invest on some Kn while using some Sp art to boost Sp before lv10.
once you get priest, you will get its holy spell cast. it will be other story for you to not invest spell at all but rely on it. just keep in mind that the spell power is limited by the amount in stack AND the spell in only in adv level. |
