Mercenary Nubian Cavalry
Mercenary. Hired from a regional pool, not recruited from a building.
Class: missile · Category: cavalry · Men per unit: 30
Description
Nubian cavalry are lightly equipped raiders who are perfect for flanking attacks on an enemy line. They are recruited into the service of the Pharaoh from the upper reaches of the Nile. They are superb horsemen, proud and independently minded. Nubians do not wear armour, but then this is only to be expected among people from such a hot, harsh climate, but they carry good war gear otherwise: a shield, a spear for the initial charge, and a sword so that they can fight effectively in close combat.
