    Overview

    Easily recognizable by their distinctive animal skins and feathered shields, these troops are recruited from many peoples. They have an ethos of personal, rather than collective, bravery. The animal skins worn include wolf, leopard and bear pelts, and their winged shields are enhanced by attaching bird feathers to them. They are armed with scimitars, and these can cause terrible slashing wounds in hand-to-hand combat. The task of the scouts, though, is to avoid combat, seek out the enemy and return with news.

    Historically, Deli infantry men and cavalry were irregular troops, and deli horsemen would often find employment guarding caravans and important dignitaries.

    Details

    Deli Horsemen are the Ottoman equivalent of Western Light Dragoons. They lack the manpower boost of dragoons and have slightly worse statistics. However, Deli Horsemen are available right from the beginning, and are an invaluable complement to the poorly-trained Isarelys. They should be used to harass the enemy with their carbines and to support friendly lines where needed. Furthermore, due to their average melee statistics, they can defeat other units in melee if supported by friendly units.
