Vaegir Horsemen are the fourth-tier cavalry unit of the Kingdom of Vaegirs. They are upgraded from Vaegir Veterans and can be further upgraded to Vaegir Knights. Compared to other fourth-tier cavalry, they have below average riding skill.

Vaegir Horsemen generally ride Steppe Horses or Hunters. They carry a variety of weapons, from two-handed axes and swords to spears and shields, although they very rarely use the shield-and-sword set and are unable to use any form of ranged weaponry. They wear lighter armor, from low-tier leather to high-tier lamellar.

Tactics[]

While not as strong or heavily-armored as Vaegir Knights, the Horsemen's faster horses will enable them to attack the enemy first if ordered to charge. Their primary strength is to charge through enemy ranks and break them into a disorganised mass, so that archers are then able to pick off the scattered opponents. Vaegir Horsemen are also useful as a lure to keep enemies away from archers or infantry.

Stats and Equipment[]

Note: Troops have a set of default stats; at the beginning of a new game, these stats are randomly adjusted for each type of troop. The following is the default set for this troop as seen within the game code and may not reflect the specific stats you will see during actual gameplay. For more information, see Troop stats.
