Ordinary peltast units, like the roman Velites. Same as for the Bedouin Warriors, only mounted on light horses.Ĭamel-mounted light horse archers. This one has camels as mounts (they terrify horses). Typical light cavalry that you will use (as mercenaries) if you don't have the money for Cataphracts. They can shower the enemy with arrows and they can suffice to make the enemy run. Now, this is probably the best ever cavalry unit in Rome: Total War, because it combines archery with an ultra-heavy defense and ability to fight in a melee just as good as the Cataphracts. Typical horse archer unit, barely armoured, relying on swiftness and hit-and-run tactics. One of the best general units there is, matched by the Roman General.

Rock and roll baby! The best cavalry unit there is, matched perhaps only by other Cataphracts and roman Praetorian Cavalry. Nice adaptation, and in a pair with the Heavy Spearmen, definitely recommended. The thing you will probably use for your conquering needs. Much worse than the Hillmen, in my opinion. Low-class infantry however, cheap and okay for the start of the game. However, it's useful if you want to "transfer population" from one settlement to another (Show me How).
