Qin the Unifier and Barbarian Horseman

[Goodenuf]

Hello everyone,
With the new ability to 'convert' barbarians, I've been able to capture "Barbarian Horseman", which as we know is a weak horseman. Usually I'll use them as a faster scout and (since they are weak) they are easily killed when running across other barb camps that have stronger units.
Can these barbarian horseman be upgraded at any point? I've noticed that they can't be upgraded to standard Horseman, but can they at any point be upgraded to more advanced light cavalry (e.g. Coursers) once they're available?

I'd like to know as well. Also the Barbarian Horse Archers.

I think from times in the past when I have had them (either captured by Mongolia, or bought in clans mode), they don't upgrade. So basically they're just scouts or cheap garrisons, sadly.

They never upgrade, and are essentially just dead weight after the early classical era. Ok for pillaging in safe environments though, since they get the standard light cavalry promotion table.

Feed them to the zombies.

Hi, is the text file supposed to be empty?

Edit: I turned affects saved games off. It doesn't seem to cause any issue in my ongoing game. And the text does show up just fine despite the empty text file.

Yes, the text file is empty. It's just a habit of mine to put a text file in the mod in case there is a text change but in this case there are no text changes.
