Yes, in EB1 that was the concept, iirc, but it was never inplemented: it was easier to get Scythian horse archers, the Armenian ones requiring baracks upgrade. they were also more expensive than the Scythians both in terms of recruitment and the upkeep, iirc.
so you had a paradoxical situation when Hayastan had Scythians as its default horse archers.
you're right though, in EB1 they were considered a regular unit and had no reform-tied restrictions.
