Barbarian cavalry are lightly armoured and carry spears. They are best used as scouts and in pursuit of fleeing enemies.
Overview
Barbarian cavalry are lightly armoured and carry spears and shields. They are best used as scouts and in pursuit of fleeing enemies, and ride sturdy, sure-footed ponies with a good turn of speed. Like many barbarian warriors, however, they can lack battle-discipline and be over-keen to enter battle against worthy opponents. Honour and standing come from fighting, and sometimes the urge for glory overwhelms good sense! These men are all good fighters, but find organised, formal warfare goes against the grain. They are unlikely to be very effective against steady infantry unless attacking from an unexpected direction.
Details
Barbarian Cavalry are the first cav these barbarian factions get They have surprisingly good attack and a strong charge bonus with low defense.
Barbarian cavalry should be used to charge in from the flank or rear of tougher enemies if possible This guards their low defense and their high charge should kill a lot of the enemy, ideally they should rout soon after impact. They are also excellent for chasing down archers and killing routers. They also do very well against weaker infantry, like Iberian Infantry. Just keep them out of a tough melee, as they will drop quickly. They have fairly low morale, but they are impetuous so they don't rout easily.
