Warrior Lodge

An artistic eye can be useful and profitable.

Many Roman writers attempted to reduce the Celts to a crude people who lived for war and little else. When describing the Celts of the Po Valley, Polybius commented that “their lives are very simple, and they had no knowledge whatsoever of art or science”. Due to archaeological finds we know this to be an oversimplification of a very complex society, and beautiful examples of Celtic art found all over Europe tell a very different story. Items like the Gundestrup Cauldron and the Desborough Mirror show that the Celts had excellent metalworking skills, an artistic eye and the ability to tell stories through their art. The intricate detail on the cauldron was preserved by the peat bog in which it was discovered. The glass used in the figures' eyes gives us some idea of the excellent artistic and craft abilities of the men who made the Cauldron.

175 Komatai Toxotai
Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Dac_Archers)
Komatai Toxotai
(Dacian Archers)

In times of war, hunters and skilled archers formed into war bands. Apart from the bow they have only a short spear and wear leather armour, armguards and trousers for protection.

300 Komatai Pelekuphoroi
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Dac_Axemen)
Komatai Pelekuphoroi
(Dacian Axemen)

Aside from their large contingents of Drapanai, the Pelekuphoroi are the common warriors of the Karp and Kostobok tribes. They wield bronze axes and have sturdy round shields. Their scale leather provides adequate protection against Scythian arrows and Bastarnae spears but will do little to stop a heavy, curved falx blade. These fast, hardy troops are best used in ambushes, hit-and-run attacks, or flanking manoeuvres against heavier warriors, but are fierce enough to stand in the battle line if the situation demands it.

175 Dakes Toxotai

Dakes Toxotai

Any lack of skill is hidden behind a typical Dacia belligerence.

300 Costoboci Pelekephoroi
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Dac_Costoboci_Hillmen)
Costoboci Pelekephoroi
(Costoboci Axemen)

The Costoboci are northern Dacians, who have been isolated for a long in the southern Carpathians, protecting the Dacians against the western Celtic invaders and the fierce Bastarnae over the mountains. They are hardy mountaineers, but too poor to afford better equipment than weapons like wooden-tipped javelins and shock weapons like the battleaxe.

175 Komatai Agrianai
Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Dac_Elite_Archers)
Komatai Agrianai
(Elite Dacian Archers)

These men are wealthy Komatai drawn from the Getic tribes dwelling along the Karpathes. They wear studded leather armour and trousers and are armed with bows. Their incessant fighting in more recent years against migrating Celtic tribes led many of them to adopt the Celtic-style longsword, which makes them deadly when closing in for the kill. Unlike most other archers though, these men can perform well in close combat, although they are most effective against weakened, exposed, or tired foes.

300 Dakes Drepanephoroi
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Dac_Falxmen)
Dakes Drepanephoroi
(Dacian Falxmen)

Falxmen give all enemies pause: who wants to be cut in two with a single blow?

300 Drapanai
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Dac_Shock_Infantry)
Drapanai
(Falxmen)

The Drapanai contingents are made up of resolute warriors, well aware of their role as shock troops on the battlefield. While the average Getic soldier tells himself he is immortal, more than any others the Drapanai join battle without fear of death. They fight bare-chested, wearing only trousers. Their trademark though is the falx, a vicious blade capable of severing limbs and causing horrible wounds with a single, crushing blow. Their lack of armour is a drawback against concentrated enemy missile fire, so they should not be exposed to enemy ranged attacks needlessly.

175 Komatai Sphendonetai
Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Dac_Slingers)
Komatai Sphendonetai
(Dacian Slingers)

These skirmishers are a valuable addition to any Dacian army and can perform superbly in rough terrain. They carry no armour to speak of, except small round shields, and are armed with slings and a dagger. They are usually very young men and their role is merely to try and force the enemy into acting rashly; however, troops lacking armour can still pay dearly facing when them.
