Cavalry units and pursuit

Post by Yaab »

I know cavalry units are few, use infantry movement speed and their cavalry devices are bulkier (higher load cost) due to horses.

However, do cavalry units have some under-the-hood bonus when set on Pursuit orders after a successful battle? I have never tested it but it sounds plausible.

Just a random thought.

I haven't seen any improved effect with a Cavalry set on pursuit. I think firepower/morale/encouragement/land skill has more effect on how well a pursuing unit does.

It seems to be based on movement rates (manual 8.3.1).

Cavalry doesn't seem to get higher movement rate, armoured unit does.
