Ansariyun

Girt with javelins and sporting superior tactics, Ansariyun are a corps of elite javelin cavalry available only to the Arabs and exemplfy the state of the art tactics that have allowed the Arabs to overrun Syria, Egypt and Persia by melding the tried-and-tested raiding techniques of pagan times with a new disciplined professionalism inspired by the new Islamic deen. Unlike the ranged cavalry of China or Britain which wear armour, Ansariyun rely on superior tactics and zeal to outwit their foes. In addition, these units also have an offensive strength boost to all nearby units, making their value to combined arms approaches all the more appealing. Equally, they also have a stealth ability, but unlike the British Uchelwr which is cloaked, Ansariyun need to stay inert for a few seconds before they can become stealthed.
