Conquest: Old Dominion - Centaur Kerykes

Unlike the more docile Minotaurs or cunning Satyroi, the Centaurs were simply too primitive to integrate effectively into human society. The vast majority found their roles nonetheless as Prodromoi, scouts and border patrol forces that operated in regimented tribal structure bolstering the Legions with formidable vanguard and skirmish forces. A select few, the most ardent and pious among them, would be selected for further training, becoming an elite unit of messengers for the Pantheon: the Kyrikes, or Heralds, who could be trusted to deliver their gods’ messages even in the raging heart of a battlefield. HOW THEY PLAY: The Kerykes add an important ranged element to the Old Dominion's forces. Although possessing average volley characteristics, they more than make up for it with their ability to ignore intervening terrain when performing ranged shots and even causing additional damage upon contact with the target.
