Italian paladins? I believe due to terrain issues, countries in the peninsula were hard to train up a strong cavalry force. Whether they enjoyed making use of heavy cavalry or not is another thing. Likewise, it is really strange that the Spanish in this game have paladins. It is absurd, since the terrain in Iberia was hostile to preparing to a strong cavalry. Also, as the Spanish learned tactics from their conquerors, Arabians and Berbers, they more enjoyed using light cavalry(they also enjoyed using Genitours) than heavy cavalry. You should remember that Tercio was born in Spain partly due to relatively weak cavalry(when compared to the French and German counterparts).
