Tarkhan are cavalry fielded by Mongol tribes and their erstwhile cousins, the Turks, but with a difference: while they may not be as cheap as Russia's Pomestia Lancers, they however have one fundamental feature: they are very tough riders. In fact, these mace-armed warriors are so hardened, that they cannot be considered light cavalry but rather as medium cavalry: they may have the same cost as any other light horse units, however, they have sufficient armour, attack and hitpoints to challenge even the mailed knights of Europe. Even so, they will crumple easily if faced with heavy infantry, so you should always be wary as to how you deploy them: Noble Knights should be avoided at all times, although it may be a bit of a relief to know that they have fairly steep reseach requirements.

| - Tarkhan are cavalry fielded by Mongol tribes and their erstwhile cousins, the Turks, but with a difference: while they may not be as cheap as Russia's Pomestia Lancers, they however have one fundamental feature: they are very tough riders. In fact, these mace-armed warriors are so hardened, that they cannot be considered light cavalry but rather as medium cavalry: they may have the same cost as any other light horse units, however, they have sufficient armour, attack and hitpoints to challenge even the mailed knights of Europe. Even so, they will crumple easily if faced with heavy infantry, so you should always be wary as to how you deploy them: Noble Knights should be avoided at all times, although it may be a bit of a relief to know that they have fairly steep reseach requirements. Although long a title in Turkic society, the title of Tarkhans did not obtain any historical significance until the 14th century among the Central Asian Khanates (in Egypt, it was an honorific bestowed on military pensioners). Although sometimes civilians that had performed exceptional services (such as leading a khan's family to safety iat the cost of personal endangerment), the more common way for tarkhans to arise was through military distinction — in the army of Tamerlane, the Tarkhans were military officers in charge of contingents of armed men. In the face of weak rulers, the Tarkhans could eventually prevail, just as how in Rome the Praetorians eventually could usurp power in the Late Imperial period: the Tarkhans in India were descended from one such nobleman who seceded from his lord.
