Long shield cavalry are spear-armed light cavalry, who can be used to break enemy formations, drive off skirmishers and pursue fleeing foes.
Overview
Long shield cavalry are spear-armed light cavalry, who can be used to break enemy formations, drive off skirmishers and pursue fleeing foes. This makes them a flexible and powerful force for any commander to have under his hand. They can also fight effectively in melee after a charge, as they carry swords of the falcata design. These are cunningly balanced so that the weight is towards the tip of the sword, giving a powerful cutting blow. Against spearmen, however, they can be at a disadvantage.
Details
Long Shield Cavalry effectively replace Round Shield Cavalry as they are better in every way. They have high morale for light cav so they are useful for smashing into enemies from the flank and chasing routers. They provide decent support for heavy cavalry as well due to their morale they can hang tough even when outmatched.
