are not fast (values pretty standard for walk, run, charge speeds), have low charge, attack, defence, and honor (AKA morale), and they get four shots. Each of those four shots can cause more damage than a single volley of cav archer fire, but overall these are pretty weak units.

As Cheetah said, put on engage-at-will, since the range at which they retreat in skirmish mode is farther than their javelin range (kinda like Naptha guys in that respect).

Use em as cheap cav to harass enemy pavs, or to flank the line. Sometimes they are fun, like T1 says, to use, like against Pikemen; drives the AI or human opponents crazy 'cause they stay just out of reach.

A definite high micromanagement unit, but one that I enjoy when playing as the Spanish.
