"Cavalry. Good against ranged soldiers and siege engines."
In-game description

The Contarius (plural: Contarii) is a Heroic Age cavalry unit and the only melee cavalry available to the Atlanteans. It is a standard heavy cavalry unit: hard-hitting, relatively fast, but expensive. The Contarius is excellent against ranged soldiers and siege weapons, but weak against infantry and counter-cavalry.

Gameplay

The Contarius is a fast unit that can be quickly deployed behind enemy lines to eliminate archers and siege weapons before retreating back inside the base before the enemy has time to respond with infantry. Unfortunately, their high population value of three, costliness and lack of versatility means they can only be deployed in small numbers, as a support unit. They also make for effective raiders due to their high speed and large attack.

"Cavalry, Hero. Good against ranged soldiers and myth units."
In-game description
