Unit Description
Khwarazmian Cavalry are available to the Egyptians, Golden Horde, and Turks. They are Elite like knights, but are more controllable. Khwarazmian Cavalry are one of the more heavily armoured units available to the Egyptians and Turks, and are almost as good as the various knights. This armour makes them useless in their home territories though, they must be taken out of the desert to be effective in battle.
Khwarazmian 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.
In siege battles, Khwarazmian Cavalry may be dismounted for Saracen Infantry.
