Javelin Cavalry

Javelin cavalry - the most commonplace Missile Cavalry unit. While they are recruited by almost all factions, they are generally basic units, until you can recruit mercenaries into your armies, such as: - Tarentine Cavalry (Graeco-Italian merc cavalry with good armour) - Baktrian Cavalry (Asian merc cavalry) - Arab cavalry (weaker, but faster moving)

Javelin Cavalry like most crossbow and/or javelineer units have an armour-piercing attack, so in large numbers, they are ideal for use as a counter-cavalry unit, meant mainly to repulse enemy heavy cavalry.
