I agree with the poster above, teutons need light cavalry to have a cheap counter against all kinds of archers as E skirmishers come very short, and without bracer they cant counter effectively FU archers.

Teuton paladins do are 'slow as fuck', maybe against foot archers the difference is not so notorious, but against civilizations with great cavalry archers such as huns, mongols, turks or sarracens, teutons are at complete disadvantage. Try countering mangudais or turkish HCAs with your paladins and siege onagers against the AI, it's excruciating. They have the slowest cavalry of the game besides viking cavaliers. Hell, even mongol siege rams travel faster then teuton paladins, lol.

Overall, the teutons are a 'slow' civilization as their ships also lack the +10% speed upgrade and their TKs are also the slowest infantry of the game.
