Royal Stables

Noble horses are fitting mounts for the best of cavalrymen.

Eastern cavalry had both Hellenistic and Persian influences, with the more easterly states favouring cataphract-style scale armour, in the Parthian fashion, protecting both rider and horse. As a result, the Seleucid kings that followed Alexander maintained two 1,000-man units of elite cavalry, the Hetairoi, modelled on Parthian cataphracts. Following the Alexandrian and Parthian examples, heavy cavalry were a hammer in the tactical toolbox of eastern generals, driving off their opposite numbers before outflanking and exploiting vulnerable infantry flanks. This was helped by the use of a wedge formation to drive into the enemy and break their ordered lines.

1	120	Cavalry / Shock Cavalry / (kar_cataphracts) Thorosani Mkhedroba (Kartvelian Cataphracts) Some higher nobles are retained in the royal guard as cataphract lancers. They are kept in reserve in battle and launched at the right time, delivering an unstoppable shock to the enemy. After the charge of their heavily armoured horses and use of their long kontos lances, they enter melee combat using axes and longswords. If the first charge is not sufficient to disrupt the enemy line, lighter cavalry then charge to turn the tide of battle.

2	120	Cavalry / Shock Cavalry / (kar_medium_cav) Mkhedroba (Kartvelian Lesser Noble Cavalry) These petty nobles, earning small properties, are well-protected, use a short kontos lance. They form the bigger part of the lancer cavalry, mounted on medium-sized horses, which can be very fast and nervous. Perfect to counter most cavalry units, they are extremely good at protecting the flanks of the army and chasing light infantry, or they can add their weight to the charge of other cavalry units.
