Talsyn Cavalry & Chariots

Great Stag Knights

Great Stags are magical beasts that are closely connected to the most ancient forests. It is said that when one emerges from its dark arboreal shelter, it signals the onset of portentous times and that great deeds are at hand. Creatures of such noble presence can only be tamed for brief periods and never truly mastered. Despite this, they sometimes serve as war-steeds for particularly bold and noble Elves and especially those of righteous cause. To ride a Great Stag is to charge into battle with unsurpassed grace, for they are kings amongst beasts, natural spirits of the world made manifest.

Attributes

• Causes Fear
  This unit frightens all enemy units, reducing their leadership when nearby. It is also immune to fear. Fear penalties do not stack.
• Vanguard Deployment
  This unit can deploy outside the deployment zone.
• Hide (forest)
  This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
• Woodsman
  This unit can pass through trees.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Forest Stalker
  The Elves of Athel Loren gain bonuses to melee defence and accuracy while fighting within the forest.
• 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.
• Armour-Piercing
  The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
