Class: heavy · Category: cavalry · Men per unit: 6

This general has a bodyguard of loyal and heavily armoured cavalry to accompany him onto the field. Armed with lances, these men are superb shock cavalry, able to deliver a devastating and almost unstoppable charge. The nobles of Armenia are aware above all of two things: the small territory of their homeland, and the very large territories of their enemies that surround them. With their fearsome armoured bodyguards, trained from birth for combat, they are a devastating force in the battlefield.
