The armies of Hoysala consist mainly of its strong variety of swordsmen and longbowmen, who are more skilled than their light equipment might imply, supported by war elephants. However, they have mediocre cavalry and spearmen. On the campaign side of things, Hoysala can benefit greatly from maritime trade, and can use the wootz steel swordsmiths in nearby Tamil Nadu to upgrade their warriors' weapons.
The units unique to Hoysala will have Kannada names, while those that will be shared with the Hindustanis will either have Sanskrit names or be named after their caste. Some assets are subject to change, and most late-era models are still being worked on.
