Bizarre unit.

I could be wrong, but "genitour" most likely refers to Jinetes, a type of skirmisher cavalry in Spain inspired by the Arabs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinete

They were characteristic of medieval Spanish armies more so than the gun armed Conquistador, who began to appear in the 16th century. But AoC wouldn't be the same without holy fuck OP conqs, so it's all right.
