In the game's words

How to use it

The Mansabdar Sowar is an Elite Indian unit that can be trained at the Charminar Gate Wonder. It has an inspiring affect on all nearby non-Mansabdar units of the same type, increasing their attack and hitpoints. The Sowar is a heavy cavalry unit that brandishes a powerful talwar saber from atop a camel. It is especially good against archers and skirmishers. Its speed is perhaps the Sowar’s greatest asset, as it is able to cover great distances in a short duration.

History

During his rule over the Mughal Empire of India, Akbar the Great brought the whole of his military organization under a new system of administration called the mansabdari. The title was taken from the term “mansab,” which means rank. Officers in the Mughal army were given a mansab and then expected to be servants of the state, with their dismissal or suspension resting directly in the hands of the emperor. There were thirty-three grades of mansabdars, differentiated by the Zat and the Sawar. The Zat referred to the number of troops that the mansabdar maintained, while the Sawar referred to the number of horses that he maintained. The number of soldiers under a man’s command could start at ten and rise into the ten thousands. Of course, the highest rank that any common officer could hold only offered a command of 5,000 men. Larger forces were always first allotted to royal princes. Yet, after the death of Akbar at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the grades were increased. Common officers could reach the mansabdar grade corresponding to a command of over 20,000 men. In Persian, the word “sowar” literally means “the one who rides.” During the British East India Company’s occupation of the Indian subcontinent, “sowar” was used in reference to native cavalry units in the Company’s employ. These mounted soldiers were considered the equivalent of sepoy infantry soldiers, and they were often utilized as escorts and guards.
