120 Khuveshavagan
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 With the royal treasuries withdrawn and the adoption of additional Macedonian conventions, the Khuveshavagan are no longer "Kinsmen" per se.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.
