They cannot be easily found in groups of enemies since they don't usually upgrade their troops to this tier.
Like all heavy cavalry, Mercenary Horsemen are useful against mid-tier infantry and driving routers off the field. Unhorsed, they pack a punch versus strong bandits and mid-tier infantry and are a match to any Khergit or Vaegir troops. However, despite their good armor, their weak weaponry means higher-tier cavalry can outmatch them.
Mercenary Horsemen's high wages and relative rarity means they are rather absurd to use as a main cavalry force - even though they seem strong, they could easily be unhorsed by a formation of Sea Raiders or a large group of Mountain Bandits.
