Light cavalry are quick and highly maneuverable regiments primarily comprised of wealthier members of society. They excel at scouting terrain ahead of a larger force, patrolling territories, engaging enemy archers, running down routing foes, and screening friendly retreats. Light cavalry is best suited to open terrain, and is less effective when deployed in mountains, hills, or wetlands.
