Requires: Famous Horse Dojo and Spear Dojo

Naginata Cavalry are heavily armed and well
armoured cavalry, designed for assaulting
strongly defensive troops. They are slower
and less well armoured than heavy cavalry
but are more offensive in melee as their
heavy weapons are able to overcome even
highly skilled and heavily armoured
opponents.

Extra info:
A further refinement of heavy cavalry came
about when samurai began using naginata
polearms from horseback. This gave them
many of the advantages of a sword, with the
reach of a spear!

Naginata Cavalry can only be trained at a location where there is a Famous Horse Dojo (i.e. one that has already been improved) and a Spear Dojo.
