Category:Swords of the Prophets unique units

There are several pools of "regional units" available to all factions.
 * The first, the "Roman" consists primariy of Byzantine units. Horse archers are a common sight in these armies. Scale armour is the common theme that holds them together, but only the Byzantines proper can access Rise of Kings units. Byzantine lancers are a halfway house between European lancers and Persian ones. The signature unit of the Romans is the tagmata cavalryman.
 * The second, the "European" contains mostly European units. With few exceptions, they are usually Germanic and so consist of Feudal Retinue swordsmen, Javelin Cavalry and Lancers.
 * the third, the Central Asian group, relies on hard-hitting cataphract lancers instead of conventional cavalry. They are arguably the best heavy cavalry units. Central Asian factions mostly rely on both cavalry archers AND javelin cavalry together, with cavalry archers usually being more.
 * Steppe Archer is available as a cavalry archer
 * Magyar Noble Cavalry is retitled as Steppe Cavalry
 * Finally, there are also Indian and African armies.
 * Indian armies revolve heavily around one thing - war elephants. As such, sword infantry and heavvy cavalry or light horse cavalry are non-existent until much later, and can only be recruited from a Warrior Hall.
 * Nubian/Nobatian armies revolve around two things -archers and spears. Javelin cavalry and medium cavalry units are the usual units that they use while siege technology is primiti9ve for them at best.
