Peasant Horsemen

Stoic Cathayan cavalry, as expendable as they are dutiful. The Celestial Emperor thanks them for their sacrifice.

The armies of Grand Cathay are vast, and if there is one thing the Dragon Emperor does not want for, it is men and women to fill their ranks. Horsemen are a common sight in the provinces, the horse being as prolific a beast of burden and transport as it is in the Old World. Cathayan generals use these highly-mobile troops primarily as scouts, though they can also be used to lure away enemy troops or draw them into ambushes.

Attributes

  • Expendable
    Witnessing friendly expendable units rout does not reduce other units' leadership, unless they are themselves expendable.
  • Vanguard Deployment
    This unit can deploy outside the deployment zone.
  • Hide (forest)
    This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
  • Yang

Strengths & Weaknesses

  • Harmony: Yang
    This unit counts as a Yang unit and gains increased melee defence and leadership when near Yin units.
  • Very Fast
    This unit can run circles around most other units, taunting and harassing the enemy or evading its missile fire.
  • Vanguard Deployment
    This unit can deploy in an expanded deployment area, allowing it to start the battle within striking distance of the enemy - or somewhere unexpected.
  • Expendable
    Witnessing friendly expendable units rout does not reduce other units' Leadership, unless they are themselves expendable.
