Light Moorish Cavalry are a type of shock cavalry in Total War: Attila.

Description[]

"Steeds as fast as the shifting sands, and riders just as deadly."

The Moors were an ancient Berber people from northern Africa. Known to the Romans as 'Mauri', the province of Mauretania was named for them. Before that, they both traded with and, at times, were 'friends' - clients - of Rome. Yet Mauri history goes back a lot further; they were known to be trading partners of Carthage at the height of the dead city-state's mercantile power. During the 3rd century AD the Mauri even produced two important bishops, one of whom went on to become St Augustine. At the time of the Vandal conquest of Roman Africa many of the Mauri were fully-integrated into Roman society. However, some continued to live in the desert, on the borders of the Roman world and in the tribal manner. Their traditional methods of fighting kept the Vandals from completely subjugating the region, much of which remained in Mauri hands until the Islamic conquest of the 7th century.
