    Yep, with AP lances Illyrians are also brilliant at the shock charge into engaged (and tired) enemy infantry.

    I have used Illyrian cavalry a lot in my special Galatian army.

    Not Curepos? They're almost as effective, given they've got the same lances, though no axes. Better armour, though.

    Skuda Tabari : they're cheap , have axes , and look grim which is always a cool thing.

    Well the same goes for half the Sweboz roster , or is it the forest that makes me feel so ?

    Grim frostbitten kingdoms . Ah....
