Illyrian Thureophoroi Cavalry Reform

Who gets it: Histri, Liburni, Delmatae, Labeatae, Ardiaei, Illyrian Kingdom, Dardania, Iapodes and Daesitiates

Hear me, king, you, who is blessed by the sun and the snake and the sea, lend your ear to a simple man, but a man of honour. For Illyrios is my witness that I fought bravely in many bloody battles against the greedy Celts and the arrogant Greeks and that I saved your nephew during the battle of the green cliffs. Though no one can match the extraordinary courage of the Illyrians, we should be open to improving the equipment of our warriors. In many campaigns fought for you, my lord, and in my service as a mercenary for the proud Molossians and the mighty Macedonians, I have seen both Hellenes and Galatians use the big Thureos shield while riding their horses. Just image the terror we will strike into the hearts of our enemies if our mean can discharge their javelins from behind these large shields! Listen to me, and give our horsemen those shields, so they can lead you to victory!
