Spakh

Spakh is a regular cavalry unit in Cossacks 3.

Background
Along with the janissaries, these troops formed 3 the core of the Turkish army. Spakhs comprised a heavy feudal cavalry settled at the European border of the Turkish Empire. Their accurate name, if they are heavy feudal cavalry would be Timariot Sipahi. They were perfectly skilled in combat and riding, as well as in hand-to-hand fighting. Their entire life was devoted to soldiering. They constituted a kind of warrior caste which was, in a sense, comparable to European knighthood. Spakhs wore armour and wielded varied weapons.
