As with their foot-borne counterpart, they provide good value for their coin in the early game, but later units totally out-class them.
They can also be found in the northern Italian provinces, and in Galatia.īarbarian Cavalry Mercenaries are the mounted version of the barbarian infantry. They can be found in every province from Spain to Britannia, across central and western Europe, and all the way out to the Pripet Marshes of Domus Dulcis Domus. Not exactly cost-efficient, but when needs decide values, they can be worth it. They are also useful in boosting populations, especially on Huge Scale. They are quite handy in the early game for battles and quickly boosting an army's punch, but the higher-tier units available later in the game make the use of these as battle troops obsolete. The warcry helps to give them a decent punch, as does their ability to hide and fight in woods and snow.
They are armed with spears, making them useful against cavalry, but since they lack the phalanx, they are not all that useful. Barbarian Mercenaries are the standard mercenary unit of the game.
