Guard Cavalry is not subject to Obligatory Charge.

The City Foot are from the trade route cities and tend to be used defensively.

The Hyrkanians appear to be an Asiatic Horse type culture. I have based this list on a mixture of Sarmatian, Hun and Timurid Army Lists.

Hyrkanian banners appear to be simple coloured flags or animal tail type standards.

Hyrkania was allied to Turan.
