Equites Imperatoris
A offensive cavalry unit of the Romans. Every figure below is produced by the same engine behind the calculators, so a stat here and a result there cannot disagree.
What stands out
- With a Horse Drinking Trough at level 15 in its village it eats 2 crop an hour instead of 3.
- It carries 100 resources home from a raid, the most of any attacking troop, ahead of the Teuton Teutonic Knight (80).
- At Smithy level 20 its attack rises from 120 to 157.2, a 31% gain.
Smithy upgrades
Each smithy level raises a stat by a fraction of its base plus a term scaled by crop consumption. The crop term is why a unit’s gain is not simply a percentage of its base stat: relative to their stats, high-upkeep units gain the most.
