Great video - appreciate your going through all of the different iterations in a very clear manner (including the special buff, which made a surprisingly big difference)
Hello friend, basic pre-gun warfare strategy, when you have elite units in relation to the enemy units, and are at a numerical disadvantage, you have to extend your line of combat, so that the enemy does not use the numerical advantage and surround your army like in the video, if you had used the extended line battle formation, the HRE Gilded Knight would have won as they would have taken less damage as they would face fewer units at the same time
@@Dodo-td1pg the heavy cavalry type is an example to maximize the spear's damage you have to extend the formation line, because when it is compacted the units behind lose the time of the spear's power which if I'm not mistaken is 8 seconds for the charge, making this type of unit lose its function
@@phelpao1997no because units that haven’t used their charge will automatically run to the closest unit they can hit and use their charge, a knight charge is never wasted they’ll do it point blank if they have to
@@Kangaroofilet friend, if I'm not mistaken, the charge has 10 seconds of time from the attack command and a certain distance from the target, with the war formation used in the video, the knights will have to walk a longer path to the target, using precious seconds and disabling the power of the knights' special ability
Varangians take it easily since you are not involving archers. The +2 armor of Chad at Arms is offset entirely by the base +2 damage of Varangians. English max imp MAA (with Network of Citadels buffing attack speed by 30%) takes 13,24 seconds to kill Max imp Berserking Varangian. Max imp Berserking Varangian takes 12,09 seconds to kill English max imp MAA. In a multiple unit situation, the increased speed of Berserk Varangians also allows them to engage another MAA a little faster (only a small buff but its something).
It would imply that French royal knights are" low quality", which they're not. Gilded knights perform quite well in a lot of matchups despite their number disadvantage. It's just that in this case, the royal knights are individually too strong of a unit, so the extra power of the gilded knight can't compensate for the lack of numbers
@@RoulicisThe Correct. Royal Knights have additional HP and damage after charge so they are improved compared to vanilla knights. Put a Gilded Knight vs vanilla knights/lancers like Abbasid and the former probably win with equal pop.
Trash balance, simple as that. The Prelate buff round says nothing, as the prelate costs even more pop and easily removed by killing him, while royal knights could have jean to buff them.
and micro prelate is annoying AF, especially with cavalry, they are too slow, and too weak, with the fiewer troops of OOTD and no marching drill they are more vulnerable and easier to focus, this civ is supposed to be 1 star, while sushi is 3 star, its unbelievable...
@@lolilol3396 They had the makings of an easy civ right there, by just making their units be bullies who kill everything on pop-efficiency but suffer against counter units, but no they made them the exact opposite.
gilded knights death animation like: damn bro you spent all these resources on me and let me die XD

Nice video. Can you do cataphracts vs gilded knights, or Cataphracts vs French royal knights, or Russian Knights vs Gilded knights
More testing. Great videos
I would be happy if you write your video suggestions in this comment.
Have you done Gilded Knight vs Mounted Samurai yet?

It would be unfair to give extended line battle formation to only one side

So, Quantity compensates for quality ,right?
