Unit Description
Horsemen are available to the Danes, Hungarians, and Poles in the Early period, and can be recruited with very low build requirements. They are not as fast as the lighter cavalry, and not as tough as their successors, Mounted Sergeants, but their cost and early availability make them useful. Horsemen should be used for quick strikes against missile units and to chase routers. They will not survive in combat against competent units, but they are better than many of the other fast cavalry units. Best utilized behind enemy lines attacking siege machines and keeping archers disrupted, but in a pinch can be used as flankers. As they are Impetuous, care must be taken to keep them out of trouble.
In siege battles, Horsemen may be dismounted for Round Shield Spearmen.
