Melee Cavalry (Custom Battle Units)

Although they are versatile units protected by shields, melee cavalry are weak against more specialised units.

Skythioi Lonchophoroi
(Scythian Armoured Lancers)

These armoured lancers wield a lancia: a one-handed lance, shorter than the kontos, mainly used by the Sarmatians. They also have a light thureos shield of wicker backed with leather, covered with painted linen, as well as leather and scale armour, and modified Greek-style helmets.

Skuda Uaezdaettae
(Scythian Noble Cavalry)

The Skuda Uaezdaettae, or Scythian nobles, fight in a manner almost more similar to the Greeks than their nomadic ancestors, preferring the xyston or spear to archery, even though they still carry composite bows. Equipped with a fine linothorax reinforced with metal scales, long pteryges, and a Greek-style bronze helmet, they are still a deadly cavalry force, though not to the extent they once were.
