Tactical Analysis

Strengths:

✅ Superior Mobility – With multiple Pegasus-mounted heroes and Pegasus Knights, this army can quickly control the battlefield. ✅ Devastating Charges – Knights of the Realm and Pegasus Knights hit hard with their Lances and Furious Charge. ✅ Versatile Support – Yeomen, Peasant Bowmen, and Bombards provide essential ranged and screening options. ✅ Strong Leadership & Blessings – Rallying Cry and the Blessings of the Lady keep units steadfast in battle.

Weaknesses:

❌ Low Model Count – While elite, this army lacks massed infantry to absorb casualties. ❌ Reliant on Charges – If Knights are bogged down in prolonged combat, they can struggle. ❌ Limited Magic Defense – The Outcast Wizard is not as effective as a dedicated mage.
