Sorry if this asked before

Will Pontos have their own elite cavalry in eb2?

They can recruit Khuveshavagane Shahvar no?

It can be recruited in Karthiokherta(sp?), Edessa, and, iirc, in Phraaspa ( perhaps in some other Iranian lands, don´t remember exactly ). But you´d need at least lvl.4 ( perhaps even lvl 5 ) factional barracks to be able to hire them. The problem is, they are not available in Amaseia, or the regions around, when you actually need them, but i figured that Cappadocian Mediums can be quite usefull, and you´ve got your heavy chariots, in case you need some shock cavalry.

thanks for reply but they are regional units all faction can recruit them.

I mean will Pontos have their own elite cavalry. (only recruit by Pontos)

None are concepted so far, although something will probably be done in the future.

Wrong, the Khuveshavagane Shahvar is the elite cavalry of the old Persian satrapies, and they are not regional units (though they are available for other factions if they develop them as type IV or type III govs). They are shared by Pontos and Hayasdan. I didn't work on recruitment for Pontos, but they should have been available in Amaseia for Pontos (but then Pontos has rather wierd recruitment and so that may be a choice).
