Class: missile · Category: cavalry · Men per unit: 32
Sarmatian Roxolani lancers are the horse archer killers. While enemy horse archers are busy skirmishing with the enemy, these lancers will charge through their lines and kill as many as possible. They aren't as armoured as their noble compatriots, as the nobles have more money to spend on armour, but they get the job done. Having them go against Cataphracts isn't advised as they would lose handily. Going against horse archers, or light infantry is their natural role and in this role they excel.
