Deadly with a bow and highly mobile, Scythian horse archers are thorns in the side of many opponents.
Overview
On the vast steppes, the horse archer reigns supreme. These riders are the product of generations spent perfecting the skills needed to effectively wield a bow while mounted. They can circle an enemy, thickening the air with arrows until they are sufficiently weakened for heavier troops to launch a main attack. Their superb horsemanship means catching them with a counter charge is difficult, even one with light cavalry. The Scythians are not a squeamish people and cover their quivers with human skin, which is valued for its whiteness. They aren’t fastidious either, and many never wash themselves or their clothes! Their horses are often smaller than those of other nations, partly because many Scythians ride geldings. These animals are, reputedly, less likely to snort and whinny, giving away their position inadvertently.
Details
Scythian Horse Archers are better than average with slightly more defense and amour than basic eastern horse archers. They can hunt archers but otherwise should exclusively shoot.
