Vlandian Banner Knights are tier-six noble cavalry of Vlandia.
Tactics[]
Compared to Imperial Elite Cataphracts, they are similar in strength yet less armored both body- and horse-wise. Unlike their Imperial counterpart, however, Vlandian Banner Knights have a higher 
One Handed skill, are paid lower wages, and carry a shield that makes them slightly less vulnerable to archer fire.
Still, Vlandian Banner Knights' heavy armor, speed in charging, and lances make them very deadly when charging into archers or flanked infantry - a commander can order their infantry to engage the enemy's at the front, keeping them busy while ordering Vlandian Banner Knights to charge into the enemy flanks and behind.
Similar to all cavalry, a low 
Athletics skill means that, once either ordered to dismount or unhorsed by enemy archers, Vlandian Banner Knights run slower than infantry - this makes them less able to escape archer fire as well as unlikely for them to outrun infantry if unhorsed amid enemy lines.
