Class: missile · Category: cavalry · Men per unit: 32

While it is true we have lost some of our old ways, even now many a common Scythian man is raised on horseback, with a bow in his hand. When the need arises, we shall call upon the Scythian Levy Horsemen. While they have no armour and are not trained to fight in formation, they are numerous, and they are expert bowmen. As long as these men are kept out of close combat, they will do us great service, raining clouds of arrows upon our hated enemies!
