== Gameplay == The stats can be upgraded from the technologies found in the [[Storage Pit (Age of Empires)|Storage Pit]] and they also benefit from the [[Nobility]] upgrade, which increases the hit points from 150 to 172. Cavalry deal +5 damage against {{1class|Infantry}}. Their fast speed, good pierce armor, and high hit points let them chase [[Villager (Age of Empires)|Villagers]], [[Archer unit (Age of Empires)|archers]], [[Stone Thrower]]s, and [[Slinger (Age of Empires)|Slingers]]. Hence, they are a good base for an early raiding army, and the go-to units for countering ranged units. Despite their bonus against the [[Short Swordsman]] line, they are not cost effective against them due to being three times more expensive. However, they are quite effective in terms of population space, in particular if the enemy has not researched [[Logistics]] yet. Cavalry quickly become obsolete with Iron Age technologies, and do not deal attack bonus against [[Academy]] units, being countered by them instead.
