In the game's words
How to use it
The Sipahis are a unique Ottoman cavalry unit with good speed, excellent hitpoints, and no range. Since they do their damage in melee combat, Sipahis rely on their speed and hitpoints to get close enough to do damage. Sipahis can only be sent from the Home City, and you can only have a limited number of them at one time.
History
The Sipahis were cavalry for two different nations. Their name derives from a Persian word for soldier, "sipahi." They were elite cavalry in the Ottoman army, performing much the same duties as the janissaries, only mounted. There were more Sipahi than any other cavalry in the Ottoman army. They were also Algerian cavalrymen that fought for the French in Africa. These cavalrymen revolted when the French wanted them to leave Africa to aid France in the Franco-Prussian wars. Mounted soldiers, they wore baggy pants and riding boots. Long, heavy cloaks, turned out to show the lining, draped them shoulder to calf, and they covered their heads with turbans. Armed chiefly with swords, they also carried firearms and spears.
