Horseback Unit

Horseback Unit is a designation certain classes have that mark them with a vulnerability to anti-mount weapons (e.g. Horseslayer, Poleax).

Overview
Horseback units generally have greater movement than non-mounted units, granting them exceptional map presence on the ground. Consequently, they possess the ability to readily manipulate the offensive momentum of the battlefield as well as provide various forms of support (e.g., cleanup, shuttling, scouting). Likely as a balancing mechanic, their mounted attribute can be exploited by certain weapons that deal effective damage against them.
