The Ma horse men are recruited from the northern border. Made out of the peoples of the plains and border peasants (Although some recruits come from mercenary bands.)

Ma horse men fight not for the good of the empire. They fight for land a citizen ship. The light lancers are given some good mail and leather armor and a heavy lance while the light archers are simple given a bow.

The Maishi are a different breed of warrior. They are recruited from the nobles of the land and serve as shock cavalry. 500 maishi are always part of the emperor's guard cavalry.

Maishi can also be dismounted and used in battle as heavy infantry. When doing so they gain the title Tiequan.
