Unit Description
Pronoiai Allagion are available to the Byzantines. They are Elite like knights, but are more controllable. Pronoiai Allagion carry the standard cavalry shield which protects them in melee and from missile weapons. Early on in the campaign they perform well as heavy cavalry, but they become outdated as the years pass.
Pronoiai Allagion tactics are the same as most Knight and heavy cavalry units: flank the enemy, charge them in the rear, repeat as necessary. Avoid frontal charges into spear and pike units, avoid polearm units unless an instant rout is assured, and avoid camels.
Pronoiai Allagion trained in Nicaea gain a +1 bonus to valour.
In siege battles, Pronoiai Allagion may be dismounted for Byzantine Infantry.
