These Mad Cavalry are elite troops selected from the Assak-dominated steppe cavalry. They've received shaman blessings, wear two layers of chain armor, and are smeared with cold whale oil. During berserk mode, they are unaffected by external influences and can exert extraordinary combat power.
In berserk mode, their average combat power even surpasses that of the Temple Warriors, but once the berserk ends, their combat power drops below that of ordinary cavalry.
Training Mad Cavalry is difficult, and maintenance is costly. Even with the vast resources of the Vladimir Empire, it can only afford to sustain a little over thirty thousand Mad Cavalry.
These Mad Cavalry are the nemesis of infantry, the nightmare of cavalry, and the shadow that causes artillery to despair when they can't reload fast enough.
They are almost invincible on the battlefield.
