====Notes====
Depending on your faction, Guard Cavalry have two distinct appearances.

*Western nations: done at this point. Can give to India and Iran and Turkey and Arab nations since they don't actually use them.
*For the East Asian factions, Guard Cavalry appear wearing leather armour and a plumed kettle helm and are lance cavalry.
*For most Southeast Asian factions, Guard Cavalry are based off the African cuirassier unit.
*This is the only unit available to Korea bar the appearance of Merchant Cavalry.
*Japan can recruit only Kibatai .
There are 2 versions of Guard Cavalry:
* The first one evolves into Cuirassiers (Dutch, Swedes, Portuguese)
* The second one remains in the game, and will not evolve until new units are researched. Such units are the following:
** Mexico: Permanentes
** Americans: Texan Lancers
** Peru: Montoneras.
** China: Beiyang Cavalry
** Koreans, Thai, Bamar, Malays are permanently stuck with this unit well until the end of the game!
