Dark Rider

No-one knows what Dark Riders truly are. Whilst most of the dark legion's ranks consist of disaffected humans turned to Zharagorn, the inhuman speed at which these elite units side raises questions over whether the riders were truly human, or whether the steeds are truly horses. Whatever they are, the hordes of Dark Riders is one of the most feared sights of the unstoppable legion.

Individually, Dark Riders fight little better than well-trained human rider, and can be held back by infantry who are suitably armed and suitably fortitied. But the real danger is their sheer numbers. They love to overrun and rout forces weaker than them, and they strike so quickly many forces are destroyed before they know what's hit them. All too often your best chance of survival is to outrun them - if you can.

Special Notes:This unit has a defense cap on certain terrain types — it cannot achieve a higher defense rating on mixed terrains with such terrain types.
