Eastern Rebels Military (Stables) Level 3

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 / Missile Cavalry / (Eas_Atr_Elite_Cavalry) Khuveshavagane Shahvar (Persian Kinsmen Cavalry) Armed with javelins and a machaira, and commonly deployed in column formation, these cavalrymen are equipped for melee combat, like the later cataphracts, but they are also skilled with their javelins. Financed by the royal treasuries, they form a contingent of honour guards, known as the Kinsmen.

2	120	Cavalry / Shock Cavalry / (Eas_Atr_Elite_Lancers) Khuveshavagan (Persian Kinsmen Lancers) In the Achaemenid Empire, the Khuveshavagan were the most expensively attired cavalry in the world, and were indeed the sign of the equestrian power of the Persian Empire. After the conquests of Alexander, they have undergone several changes. With the royal treasuries withdrawn and the adoption of additional Macedonian conventions, the Khuveshavagan are no longer "Kinsmen" per se. Armed with a xyston and a machaira and heavily armored like the later cataphracts, this unit can mount a terrible charge, wreaking havoc upon the enemy.

3	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Eas_Atr_Light_Cavalry) Persae Hippakontistai (Light Persian Cavalry) These Asiatikoi horsemen are a light but versatile unit, able to skirmish and perform screening duties. The Epigonoi are thoroughly Hellenised Persians, a fusion of Hellenic and Iranian traditions brought about by Alexander's conquests.
3	120	120	899	899				14	85	8	5	30	11	18	35	2	20	35
4	120	Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Eas_Atr_Median_Medium_Cavalry) Asabaran-i Madaen (Median Medium Cavalry) These excellent medium cavalry are capable of skirmishing, charging, and fighting fairly well in melee. They are raised from the old Persian estates which were not seized by the Macedonian invaders.
4	120	120	1946	1946								36	11	24	52	16	20	55
5	120	Cavalry / Shock Cavalry / (Eas_Atr_Medium_Lancers) Asabaran-i Aturpatekan (Atropatenean Lancers) These horsemen ride to war in scale armour, wielding long spears and axes in the old Persian style. They form a reliable medium cavalry unit for which a good commander will find many uses.
5	120	120	1979	1979								36	9	33	42	16	20	50
6	120	Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Eas_Atr_Medium_Melee_Cavalry) Persae Hippeis (Persian Medium Cavalry) These medium cavalrymen are a versatile task-force able to perform a wide range of roles in battle. They are armed with a thrusting spear, but they are not well-suited to take on heavier cavalry or elite infantry formations, and their loyalty is measured only in weight of gold.
