Germanic Mounted Brigands are a type of missile cavalry in Total War: Attila.
Description[]
"Armed with spear and javelin, these mounted raiders are ideal battlefield scouts."
The lack of strong, fast mounts in northern Europe restricted the Germans’ ability to build cavalry forces. Horses were expensive to keep and, given the size and strength of typical Germanic warriors, they were more suited to life as infantry. While the Germans relied primarily on the strength of their infantry, some tribes built reputations as skilled horsemen. Notoriously aggressive in their cavalry tactics, they often seized the initiative when faced with greater numbers. Their confidence as riders was also unshakable; turning their backs on new technologies and techniques, the Germans notably refused to use the four-horned saddle that had revolutionised the cavalry of their Celtic neighbours. Even so, there were a number of tribes that became renowned for their cavalry expertise.
