I am playing as Azum, now King of Abyssinia. I have taken Cairo and a small rebellion has taken place. My retinue 5k retinue of Ethiopian light infantry was sent to kill the rebels, but I noticed that their tactis were thus:

General Skirmish Tactic (gives no bonuses as far as I can tell)
Hesitent Commander -150 heavy inf -150 heavy cav
Wait tactic


Where are the tactics for the light infantry???
What is the point of the Ethiopian light infantry there is no tactic for them?

You know, after I've lost another battle while outnumbering opponent 2:1 thanks to light cavalry tactic turning on four times in a row, I'd be happy if there were no LC tactic at all. Likewise, I'd hate it if there were any LI tactic.
Honestly, there is no point whatsoever in LI cultural building and retinue.

The best option would be to switch your culture ASAP. Other than that, generic cavalry retinue has some HC, generic pike retinue is good against Arabian cavalry while generic infantry retinue is overall fine.
