COnquistadores: What exactly will they be?

[Solver]

Trip, here it is:

[monkspider] Firaxis: Can you comment on what unit the Spanish Conquistador is based on
[JeffreyMorrisFIRAXIS] Monk: Jinetes..They would have been called jinetes but the spanish version of the game used that name for cavalry. They're light cavalry.
[JeffreyMorrisFIRAXIS] Fast cavalry...yes.
[Trip] Firaxis: How is the Conquistidor different from regular cavalry (other than having a lower attack rating)?
[JeffreyMorrisFIRAXIS] Trip: those stats will no doubt change in testing.

That's it, from the chat with Firaxis. There's that Light Cav, and they also commented on Keshik...

LoL yes, I know, I was the one that asked. The way I understood that was that Conquistadors were light cavalry, which is based upon the regular Cavalry unit. After all, they told me earlier that the new units were Medieval Infantry and Guerrillas... why would they not mention 'Light Cavalry' as another unit as well, if they had meant to tell us?
