Units1 supported recipe route
WHY CONSIDER IT
Its movement and ability to move after attacking can support pressure across the map; it upgrades to Knight.
When it fits: Consider for Carthage after Horseback Riding and before Chivalry makes it obsolete.
The tradeoff: Carthage-only and a short window before Chivalry obsolescence.
