I'm surely not completely wrong since they are less effective on a smaller scale. Also, didn't you say you hate using cavalry?

Don't let yourself be misled by their name. They are not Peltastai. They are an elite assault infantry, the creme da la creme. I imagine they fare pretty bad as Peltastai.
