EAST HEAVY CAVALRY.pngPontic heavy cavalry are javelin-armed horsemen who can also fight hand-to-hand - a potent combination in one force!

Overview

Pontic heavy cavalry are javelin-armed horsemen who can also fight hand-to-hand - a potent combination in one force! They wear light chainmail armour and carry shields and swords so that they can close with opponents and fight when the situation requires. Their primary means of attack, however, remains the javelins that they carry. They can pepper an enemy with missiles and then have the option of closing to deliver the coup de grace, or they can withdraw and await another opportunity for mischief! They are not ideally suited to fighting other skirmishers - many of their javelins will be wasted against targets who can dodge, after all - but they can be very useful in driving broken enemies from the field.

Details

Pontic Heavy cavalry very versatile cavalry they have a strong missile attack and their good amour let them resist a good deal of incoming javelin fire. they should be able to easily defeat any other javelin cavalry in the game. They also double as excellent medium cavalry with high morale.
