Tarentine Elite Cavalry

[TunaMaker]

I'm playing as Epirus and really love the unit of Tarentine Elite Cavalry I started out with in Taras and I'm really hoping I'll be able to recruit them later on. What do I need to recruit them, and are they only available in Taras (as I assume is the case)? Thanks.

For Epeiros, it appears that they are recruitable in Kalabria and Brettia only. There are more light but armed cavalry in the works for them though.

Is this unit restricted to just Epeiros ?

[TunaMaker]

What level MIC do I need for Tarentine Cavalry? And which one, the factional MIC or the regional MIC? Thanks.

Shouldn't the Romans get them as a regional unit? Or did they never use Tarentine cavalry?

[Spoofa]

is this cavalry any good? i had quite a few in my army but they only seemed to get slaughtered when used for flanking =/

or are they suppose to be skirmisher cavalry? Lol i dont quite remember

[paullus]

skirmisher cavalry, the only hand to hand fighting i'd use them for would be against foot skirmishers or other light cavalry.

[Watchman]

They've got AP melee weapons and a decent attack with them, so I'd say they make decent enough flankers for a heavy-cavalry fight. Kinda like Hippakontistai on steroids really.

Aww, that's a pity, I'd really like to have them in my mak army when I finally cross the Adriatic and finisg the epeirotes for good ( it is 240BC and they have taken the whole southern of Italy and Rome!)
