Legion Outriders (innovation)
The open steppe of Eastern Aversaria have always been a difficult land for the Aautokrata to control. Many of the barbarian tribes who inhabit this inhospitable land simply choose to disappear over the horizon rather than face a Legion in open battle, returning once the army has withdrawn to resume raiding and pillaging. Worse, swaths of the land is still woefully underdeveloped and unfit for traditional farming resulting in a settler population who often dabble in nomadism themselves. These two factors allow us to recruit some of the best light horsemen in the civilized world, raised in the saddle from birth and tutored in the ways of steppe warfare by its barbarian masters.
