Cavaliers are recruited from Training Grounds.

[edit] Upgrading

Cavaliers can be upgraded to Champions in Castles or Hill Forts for 200 gold per Cavalier, or in Stables on the Adventure map for free.

[edit] Comments

Because of the Jousting ability, Cavaliers/Champions can be considered the game's number 1 when it comes to burst damage. Just equip the Necklace of Swiftness and Cape of Velocity to Sir Mullich, then cast Expert Haste, Prayer and Bless on the Cavaliers/Champions and there you go - Stupid amount of damage any day.
