Very much appreciate the info! The items in particular will be VERY useful. This is exactly what I'm looking for.
Although you are not incorrect regarding the Hobilar, I would direct you to search for Hobelar - you will see that it is a correct spelling, and in fact the origin of this type of unit is actually Irish, where they were light horsemen who rode Hobby horses, equipped with Padded Cloth or in some cases Mail Shirts.
Also - when it comes to units and equipment, I am taking a fair amount of liberty with time-periods for the sake of making balanced, interesting and unique troop trees. The hobelar probably wouldn't actually have existed at the time this mod is being tentatively set.
