What was the battlefield role of the horse archer? Many people have written that the horse archer was the single dominant all-defeating type of soldier in the ancient world, citing the Parthians, Mongols, and Huns as examples.

If your enemy has no places that he needs to defend, no cities, no ports, no mines, nothing of that kind, if he is truly nomadic, then the horse archer is a very effective type of soldier to be, but as soon as he conquers anything and tries to settle, and hold onto his gains, he may find that horse archery isn't that great after all.
