Description

In-game

Let the thunder of hooves rise and fall like a summer storm, and be gone just as swiftly.

From horseback, a warrior can survey the world, bloodied and torn as it is. A warrior can also move faster, strike harder, and retreat quicker when in the saddle than on foot. When combined with the skill and equipment of an archer, mounted troops become one of a warlord's greatest assets. A unit of mounted archers can harass an enemy, inflicting causalities, and retreat before a counter-attack can be mustered. To the savvy general, they are invaluable.
