Favorite cavalry unit

I dont know if they could really qualify for a separate unit but somatofilakes strategou are insispensable and they replenish themselves automatically

While maybe not my favorite, as I can't really say if I have a favorite yet or not, I like the Prodromoi. Very reliable medium cavalry, one time in particular I recall how a unit of them chewed through Pontos' Kappadokian Cavalry like they were nothing. Definately a good alternative to the Hetairoi if you're strapped for money.

I forget their exact name, but I prefer the galatian heavy cavalry found in Ankyra...they make a nice all-round unit that can fight well in melee and is a good flank-guard for my makedonian phalanxes.
