Missile Cavalry (Custom Battle Units)

Fast moving and with a long range, missile cavalry are great at harassing their enemies, but weak if pinned down in melee.

Skytho-Sauromatai Hippotoxotai
(Scytho-Sarmatian Horse Archers)

As the Scythians progressively fall under Sarmatian influence, they adopt the equipment of their enemies. The Sarmatised" Scythian kontos bearers are a pure product of this evolution. They still use close-combat weapons and their bow as the main armament in any occasion."

Although the horse archer is the backbone of any nomadic army, mounted javelineers are used as well, mostly in close quarters on rough terrain, in ambushes and night raids. Scythian and Sarmatian heavy mounted skirmishers carry large shields, a bunch of javelins, and leather and scale armour. They are skilled and can also fight dismounted with various weapons, but the most common are the sagaris battle-axe and the akinakes.

(Sarmatian Noble Horse Archers)

Sarmatian nobles are among the few in their society that can actually afford the very high costs of reasonably good defensive gear and larger horses to carry a rider wearing such heavy equipment. However, they are not prepared to frontally charge any disciplined close-order infantry.

(Roxolani Noble Horse Archers)

If many Roxolani riders can now equip themselves with corselets of scale armour, their nobility will take this trend one step further and provide defenses for the horses they ride as well. Typically, they first probe for weaknesses and, if none are readily found, they work to create them. For such a task they may well resort to their bows.

(Sarmatian Horse Archers)

Life as nomadic herders on the steppe produces highly skilled bowmen and riders who can put those abilities to very good use on a battlefield. Typical horse archers carry little or no armour and are likely to suffer if forced into melee against most adversaries.

(Aorsoi Riders)

The Aorsoi are one of several major Sarmatian groups. Aorsoi riders are first and foremost horse archers, but on average, Aorsoi tribesmen are somewhat better-equipped than their counterparts from other Sarmatian tribes. Thus, they often wear a measure of simple armour and tend to carry spears in addition to their bows.
