Training Grounds
A collection of men with spears is better than a mob with nothing.Very few easterners were professional soldiers and none, save for the noble-born cavalry, were formally trained or drilled. Instead, troops were levied by rich landowners as an obligation during times of war. For instance, levied infantry were typically untrained spearmen, with archers and slingers the more experienced and elite foot units. As might be expected due to the local terrain, cavalry was an important component in an eastern army, and several styles of horseback warfare emerged as a result. Horse archers were used to wear down infantry with fast, incessant attacks before and after thunder-strike cavalry charges from the fearsome heavy shock cavalry that was beginning to dominate the battlefield. Melee or spear infantry's main purpose was to pin the enemy down whilst the cavalry carried out complex its outflanking manoeuvres, which naturally affected the quality of troops employed for the role.
