Total War Wiki

Horsewomen are a type of cavalry unit in a Total War Saga: Troy.

Description[]

A plausible historical origin for the mythological amazons is the Pazyryk, a Bronze Age people related to the Scythians. The excavation of burial mounds in Siberia has revealed the mummified bodies of bow-legged women bearing battle scars suggesting they rode horses throughout their lives and participated in armed conflicts. If these were indeed the Amazons of legend, then the fabled warriors were among the first in human history to wage war on horseback, a fact corroborated by the many accounts from Ancient Greece describing their exceptional equestrian skills.
