    * '''Class:''' Cavalry Lancer.
    * '''Hacker Armament:''' Kontos Lance (all iron; 3.6 metres long; two-handed weapon; held the kontos with his right hand towards the bottom of the spear shaft, while the left was in front about 2 feet forward. Then the spearpoint was held on the left side of the horse's neck. So if you looked from the top, the kontos would be at a slight angle from the horse's line of symmetry; absorbed the shock of a hit, since there were no saddles or stirrups to cushion the collision for the horseman). Cosmetic akinakes -- since Cataphracts were drawn from the wealthy upper class -- and they would used these at close range after charging with kontos (hacking, 2.5-3m long).

+   * '''Special''': The Lancer should be slower than most cavalry. Heavily armoured, it's main attack strength comes from heavy trample and charge bonuses. Otherwise, the Lancer is at a considerable disadvantage in a slugging melee. They do have a ranged secondary attack with their Eastern composite-recurved bows.
