In the game's words
How to use it
The Qizilbash is a ranged heavy cavalry unit. It is available in the Commerce Age to anyone who has built a Trading Post at the Sufi Mosque. Armed with a lance and a bow this unit acts like a lancer with an additional ranged attack. The lance of the Qizilbash has increased range and will automatically be used if an enemy unit is close enough. The melee attack inflicts bonus damage against infantry. Although the bow attack does not share this bonus, it enables the Qizilbash to perform hit-and-run tactics.
History
The Qizilbash were semi-nomadic Turkomans from Anatolia, Caucasia and Mesopotamia who brought ancient Turkic religion and steppe traditions into harmony with Islamic spirituality and Sufi mysticism. The name “qizilbash” means “red head” which refers to their crimson red conic headwear and is a symbol of their allegiance to Shia Twelver Islam. During the 15th century the Qizilbash were the military backbone of the Safavids, a Sufi order and dynasty from Ardabil. They traveled light on horseback and fought with lances and traditional Turkic bows. The military successes of the Qizilbash in Persia enabled their Safavid leaders to found their own state, the Safavid Empire.
