In the game's words
How to use it
The Zenata Rider is a mercenary ranged cavalry unit. Like the Javelin Rider, it is effective against cavalry but weak against most other units.
History
The Zenata are a Berber or Amazigh people-group famed for their historical use of cavalry, a mantle dating back at least to the medieval period. These swift light cavalry charged into battle armed with heart-shaped shields and several spears that could be hurled or thrust. They were so effective that their arrival in Spain spawned a new military designation, the Jinete or Genitour, whose name and fighting style were directly derived from the Zenata cavalry. Their use persisted well into the early modern period.
