Unit Description
Golden Horde Heavy Cavalry are available to the Golden Horde once they appear in the campaign. They are Elite like knights, but are also Disciplined which makes them easy to control. Golden Horde Heavy Cavalry carry the standard cavalry shield which protects them in melee and from missile weapons.
Golden Horde Heavy Cavalry tactics are the same as most Knight and heavy cavalry units: flank the enemy, charge them in the rear, repeat as necessary. Avoid frontal charges into spear and pike units, avoid polearm units unless an instant rout is assured, and avoid camels.
Golden Horde Heavy Cavalry serve as the royal bodyguard units for the Golden Horde. The faction leader and heirs will appear on the campaign map leading Golden Horde Heavy Cavalry units.
In any battle, Golden Horde Heavy Cavalry may be dismounted for Golden Horde Warriors.
