Stratioti

[Lonecat Nekophrodite]

If this light cav unit is to be in Civ6 (or any Civ game). What should they be?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratioti
1. Greek renaissance UU
2. Merc unit recruitable from a city state (Name it)
3. Generic Light Cavalry 'graphical variants'

 

[Ryansinbela]

They could also be an Albanian UU if they get added

 

[Duke William of Normandy]

If Albania was in Civ 6 as a City-/state, it could probably provide the Stratioti as a Unique Knight replacement. Same if Albania was an actual Civilization.

 

[Lonecat Nekophrodite]

^ Weren't Stratioti Light Cavalry?

 

[Duke William of Normandy]

Whoops. Maybe Courser replacement, then.

 

[Lonecat Nekophrodite]

And what should be the name of aforemented Albanian CS by the way?

 

[Duke William of Normandy]

Perhaps Tirana could do.

 

[Boris Gudenuf]

Stratioti or Stratiotet were almost the definitive mercenary light cavalry of the late Medieval - Early Modern Eras in Europe, along with the Hungarian Hussars. To show that, make them an effect of Suzeriegnty over an Albanian City State (ala Lahore and the Khalsa now): Tirana is the largest Albanian city, but Shkoder was one of the most famous sieges in Albanian history, and associated with Skanderbeg the National Hero, so would also be a good bet.
