Teutonic Knights are slow, yes, but own nearly every other melee unit. I have tested them on on one against even Jaguar Warriors, and the Teutonic Knights own. That is taking into account Garland Wars, or whatever gives the Jags the +4 attack vs infantry. Now Elephants and Cataphracts own Teutonic Knights, one Cataphract can defeat two Knights if he encounters them one on one. With the knights together the Cat loses. Like any army, you cannot rely on one unit (except for maybe horse archer civilizations). Archers need protection from cav, cav need protection from spears, spears need protection from swords, swords need protection from archers. Horse archers lose to foot archers and Skirmishers.
