Luuriag Tamma Units

In the rapidly expanding Khamûlid Empire, it quickly became clear that the Great Khan could not rely solely on forces provided by subordinate lords. Khamûl needed a large, well-trained and loyal army. Therefore, he established the Tamma troops, warriors who were contracted directly with him.
The primary task of the Tamma was to maintain order in the vast Empire. They stand both as garrison and a police force, and their concern is not only on civil issues. Many times in the history of the Empire it has happened that the domain of a disloyal Mirza or Noyon has been besieged by local Tamma troops to instantly crush a potential rebellion.
During the war, the Tamma form the core of Khan's army. Like the rest of the warriors, they arrive on the battlefield mounted, but during the battles themselves they often fight on foot, especially if the terrain makes it difficult to fight on horseback. They also lead in sieges, where it is the Tamma who take charge of preparing siege equipment and capturing a hold on the walls.
The Tamma are an experimental type of units. They are mounted, but their stats are closer to infantry units and it will often be worth ordering them to dismount. We still need to test how this will work in a campaign. If it doesn't work as well as we would like, we will most likely turn them into infantry units, but with campaign movement points equivalent to cavalry.

Cool. "Tamma" means "mare" (female horse) in my language.
