Northern Veteran Sabre Cavalry
"The charge? Oh the charge is only the beginning…"The horse is a trusted and beloved, but oft-skittish companion on the battlefield. Not so with these cavalry, whose riders and steeds both are veterans, tested and forged in the fires of war.
Much like their other mounted comrades, these sabre cavalry excel in the melee, but are fashioned in even better armour befitting of their station. Their redoubtable discipline means they can be deployed about the battlefield with a devastatingly effective ease.
Unit Abilities
-
Diamond
The unit forms into a hard-edged diamond, good for both offence and defence but limiting manoeuvrability. -
Loose
The unit spreads apart, making it more difficult for arrows to hit them. -
Wedge
The unit forms into a spear-tip, best for driving directly through enemy lines. -
Miasma
The dense and tough undergrowth that plagues the jungles of the South is a hindrance to all those who try to penetrate into the heartlands of the Nanman.

This unit's speed and mass will work against it if charging the pointy end of enemy spears!
