Overview
Qizilbash Warrior: Qizilbash Warriors are a fast medium cavalry option whose movement supports raids and quick reinforcement. Their best contribution is choosing where to fight rather than standing in a prolonged exchange against heavier units.
Plan and execution
Use scouting to find an opening, send the Qizilbash Warriors around the edge of the base, and target a resource camp or isolated support unit. Withdraw before the defender can surround them and use their speed to reinforce whichever flank is under pressure.
Risks and adaptation
Their melee armor and attack are limited compared with top heavy cavalry. Avoid frontal charges against prepared anti-cavalry units and do not mistake speed for durability.
