Skirmish infantry are indeed a bad idea in Prax.

	I don't think I'd say they have a full mounted unit, but they really only have one military unit worth of anything that isn't militia. 
	They certainly seem somewhat horse obsessed, and go out of their way to train people to fight from horseback. Given that, even if they have only a few people trained to fight from horseback, it would seem insane of them not to use them. 

	So, when did Kuschile change from 'ancient founder' to 'eccentric priest'? And given the cult has a clear association with horses and riding in every version, since when did learning for fight from horseback become 'eccentric'?
	Cheers
