What should I be upgrading with my French Knights to make them stronger and survive longer? Which Techs?
Upgrade all melee techs and armor techs in your blacksmith, do all the upgrades for your knights in the stable and there is an upgrade for Calvary in the university for higher hp
It depends on what units your opponent is making.
Techs cost a lot of gold, specially early on, so you gotta pick the upgrades that are relevant to the situation.
For example against English who make a lot of longbows you want to prioritise the ranged armor upgrade, while in a French mirror or against a someone who is making a lot of melee units then you want the melee armor instead. Obviously eventually you want to have all of them but it’s always good to research them in accordance to what your oponent is throwing at you.

The French automatically get melee damage.
The most important upgrade to get early on is ranged defense (S I believe is the hotkey)
