Class: missile · Category: cavalry · Men per unit: 32
The East was renowned for its horse-archers, and these one may have strongly participate in forging the legend. The wealthiest people of their homeland, Caucasian Iberia, their equipment and horses are some of the best. Indeed, they fight mainly as ranged cavalry, so they need light armours, but they won't recoil if they need to fight right in the middle of the melee. This led to a mix of light and heavy cavalry features, like a scale armour over the torso, but with rest of the body bare. They use the composite bow, which is one of the strongest bow that existed, yet a small one; this is the perfect weapon when fighting on a horse back.
