But I love the Lancers, because as bad as their armour is, that means no armour piercing attack has any effect on them which means they're ideal for dealing with Cataphracts/Desert Cavalry, at the least. You may ask, why cataphracts? Sure they'll take casualties like hell, but at least they won't be fighting at a relative disadvantage compared to other more armoured foes. And they're cheaper, easier to retrain, and have you seen that charge bonus?
