## Visual Decision

Wei elite cavalry v5 is accepted as a heavy mounted unit. The dark horse, blue-gray tack, armored rider, and lance silhouette distinguish it from Shu cavalry while staying contained at tactical scale.

## Notes

v5 balances mounted scale and tile containment after earlier versions were too short or too narrow. It keeps a stable hoof baseline, no border hits, and a clear horse-and-rider silhouette at 50px battle scale.
