In the game's words
How to use it
The Boyar is a heavy hand cavalry unit armed with a sabre. It is available in the Commerce Age at the Trading Post to anyone who has allied with the Houses of Phanar by building a Trading Post on one of their palaces. Boyars have high hit points and a decent attack like Hussars. Their faster attack speed against units and buildings makes Boyars formidable at raiding.
History
Boyar has been a high noble rank in Eastern and South Eastern Europe since the early middle ages. For most of the medieval period this hereditary class of wealthy landowners wielded great political power and enjoyed various privileges. Throughout the ages the status, power, and obligations associated with the boyar title saw different regional interpretations and stratifications. Mandatory military service or the emergence of a class for landless boyars were common developments. In the Danubian principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia several boyar classes existed that were tied to the ownership of land, serfs, and high offices in administration or military. As most of the Balkans had been under Ottoman rule for hundreds of years Boyars tended to serve the Ottoman Porte. Subsequently affairs of boyar families became closely entangled with those of the Ottoman royal court where they occupied high offices. This trend increased in the 18th century during the Phanariot era which saw a strong growth in boyar numbers. When independence movements were on the rise in Greece, Bulgaria, Moldavia and Romania many boyar families fell out of favor at the Ottoman Porte and eventually encouraged them to pursue influential positions within the new nations of the Balkans.
