Rider's Council (Troy)

Rider's Council is a horde military building chain in a Total War Saga: Troy, exclusive to Penthesilea's faction.

Description[]

While the usage of horse-drawn chariots on the battlefield was well established by the time of the Trojan War, horseback riding was still a few centuries away from widespread adoption. While an unhitched horse's speed was unmatched, its frame was still too small throughout the Late Bronze Age to efficiently carry the load of a fully-armed and armoured warrior. For this reason, only the most skilled and daring soldier would ride them, and the horse would still need hundreds of years of selective breeding and improved nutrition before the concept of cavalry would formally emerge.
