Silladar

Unlike Pindari which are in effect mercenary freebooters whose activities often go beyond the pale, Silladars, like Merchant Cavalrymen, are recruited from Indian gentry. Their access to wealth means that they often have good mounts and weapons, although they are still somewhat antiquated in a world of muskets and Hussars. Silladars do well fighting archaic enemies, but are clearly no match for European cavalry forces in terms of arms and training, or against Chinese units which are known for their speed.
