does anyone know for sure what captain perks apply to dismounted cavalry?

[Grizzly]

Do they still gain effects from cavalry perks or do they switch into infantry perks?

the only thing i could find about it was one comment on reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bannerlord/comments/11duau5/dismounted_cavalry/

but we all know how reliable that is so i wanted to know if more people can confirm

I don't actually know, but I would assume they always count as cavalry because they can still mount/dismount and the unit itself is still a cavalry unit.

I think they work, but perks that require a mount obviously won't work.

But my humble opinion, what would be the point of dismounting the cavalry in the game?
I don't see any advantage, unless you're doing a roleplay, or something like that, but it's your game, play how you want

Depends on the perk. If the perk says its for mounted troops, then its only for mounted troops.

well you kinda said it yourself with the "play how you want"

its simply to only use Imperial Elite Cataphracts and just use them as infantry in shield wall because that unit is actually the "most tanki" unit in the game (for example he has more then 70 body armor, most other, even T6, only have something between 50-60)

ill also max out medicine for that HP boost and get leadership as high as possible for big party

is this the strongest way to play? doubt it cause the T6 from the khuzait still exist lmao
is this efficent? heck nah, making a T6 cav costs a ton of money and then just to let them not even use their horses? lmao

however it is a big blob of units that can tank more then any other blob of units and im here for it

Unfortunately, it appears that that question is not entirely straigthforwaard. There was an interesting thread on the main forum about it; that you could try to search for.

But the buttom line was that TW has not been consistent in how they code whether something is counted as e.g. infantry. In some cases it might be only the infantry class that it applies to. Whereas, in other cases it may apply to anyone on foot that carries a melee weapon.
