In the game's words
How to use it
The Royal Horseman is a heavy hand cavalry mercenary. Royal Horsemen are powerful, durable units that inflict trample damage on adjacent enemy units. They also utilize a melee attack with a large area of effect.
History
As the opulence and military prowess of early-modern European states increased, several monarchs and other magnates equipped ‘gardes du corps’ – personal bodyguards, usually consisting of elite cavalry. While these gradually became increasingly widespread, those in France and the German states developed an especially fearsome reputation. Heavy cavalry remained effective in battle, whether as a shock force, when executing cleverly timed tactical maneuvers, or merely when protecting their ruler, but there was a darker side to them as well – they were often sent to literally trample unruly subjects in instances of civil unrest.
