This unit by leong_winglam is, as it’s name suggests a reskin of a knight to create a brand new cavalry unit. What’s great about this unit is that the author has provides us with three alternative cavalry units, each one looking similar but with slight differences. The knights take the form of a noble knight, mounted on a beautiful white horse. They are wearing a thick suit of armour and equipped with a spear. Each unit’s horse has its our skirting, and this becomes larger and brighter from knight to knight. This gives the knights a looks as though the are upgrading, and thus you can use all three of these knights to replace the Knight/Cavalier/Paladin line in game.
The quality of these is exceptional. The author demonstrates great skill in photoshop with copy and paste and recolouring techniques to create a brand new unit. He has recoloured the units to create something brand new and has not lost and definition in the units detailed design. The armour, spear, helmet and horses skirt are all very detailed and clear. No pixelation is too be seen and the animation between the frames is very clear and smooth.
There are a number of uses for this Knight. The author designed it as an Asian Knight, but it can have so many more uses. It would be perfect for a hero in a new modded scenario or a royal knight or guard to protect a king. The units also come with custom icons to make them even more unique.
Overal this is a brilliant unit. Highly detailed and extremely useful.
