Cavalry Skirmisher

Cavalry Skirmishers are ranged Cavalry that deal pierce damage in combat with significant bonuses against Archers and Cavalry Swordsmen. In addition like all cavalry they are quick and agile - making lightning raids against the enemy tempting and worthwhile. They typically are used to Flank opponents to quickly rout ranged infantry, harass workers or envelop enemy formations with sustained mobile fire. Additionally, they make excellent scouts with their extensive Line of Sight and agility, lending themselves to quick scouting and exploration. Promoted Cavalry Skirmishers receive upgrades to their range, accuracy and a small boost to their hitpoints and armor.

Cavalry Skirmishers are produced at both the Civilization Center and/or Barracks for civilizations that possess them. While the Persians like all cavalry may also find them in their Stables
