Yeoman Cavalry (Total War)



The Yeoman Cavalry is a light frontline cavalry spearman unit of Ordona Province.

History
Yeomen were the owners of Ordonian households, often with several families of Farmers below them. Though they were often a bit wealthier than their workers, they still answered to their immediate Fief Lord and were drafted into mandatory military service. Often Yeomen would ride their family's Goat into battle, bringing with them a spear to match enemy cavalry.

Role: Light Frontline Cavalry Spearmen
Ordonian Goats were some of the toughest creatures of their kind, and despite their smaller size they could easily go up against a horse or larger mounted beast. Coupled with the Yeoman's long reach, these units best served as anti-cavalry forces on the front lines.
