120 Khuveshavagane Shahvar
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.

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 With the royal treasuries withdrawn and the adoption of additional Macedonian conventions, the Khuveshavagan are no longer "Kinsmen" per se.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

200 Arsti-Xsayaoiya
Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Eas_Atr_Guards)
Arsti-Xsayaoiya
(Satrap Guard Spearmen)

These spearmen wear scale armour underneath their robes, and do not carry shields or helmets to encourage their comrades with their contempt for the enemy's attacks. Their lack of shields also gives them greater manoeuvrability to fire their bows. Having practiced on the hunt and in many wars, they are some of the deadliest archers in the world.
