Why can't I upgrade my Saka Horse Archers & Horsemen?

Why can't I upgrade my Saka Horse Archers & Horsemen? - Person Riding on Horse Under Cloudy Sky during Daytime

I have Saka Horse Archers. I now have the Stirrups tech and have made a Knight. However I do not have the option to upgrade Saka Horse Archers or Horsemen to Knights.

Why not? Am I missing something?

They are light cavalry - but this is not in wikipedia. What am I missing?



Best Answer

Knights are not light cavalry they are heavy cavalry. Chariots or War carts can upgrade to Knights but Horsemen cannot.

Can you upgrade barbarian horsemen?

neither the Barbarian Horseman nor the Barbarian Horse Archer have any upgrade set up in the game files, nor do they replace any other unit from which they could adopt the upgrade path (not sure that even works for units, though).

What do Horsemen upgrade to civ6?

Upgrades to
  • Courser.
  • Black Army.
  • Oromo Cavalry.


  • How do you counter scythia in Civ 6?

    Domination is the best route for Scythia. Their major weakness here is their lack of advantages against cities, but they can carve through the armies of enemy civs even if their enemies have a substantial production advantage. Religion works rather well.
