Slavic Noble Skirmishers are a type of missile infantry in Total War: Attila.

Description

"Skirmishers can be the difference between victory and defeat - it is a skill, a calling, and an art."

Skirmishers harass the enemy, never giving them pause to regroup or breathe. Successful skirmish forces were often used to pin an enemy down whilst the vanguard prepared for the decisive attack. In the east, for instance, many armies primarily employed skirmish cavalry, born of and entirely suited to the terrain upon which they fought and their cavalry-heavy structure. The javelin was an oft-used weapon for skirmishers, particularly from horseback. A rider could hurl his weapon at the enemy and be far away before they had time to react. Those foolish enough to turn and face the threat could be blinded to an infantry bulwark bearing down upon them.
