Levy Camp

Where levied citizens and subjects muster, and train to become soldiers.

Levies could be quickly mustered, outfitted and turned into an army whether citizens or subjects. Usually commanded by nobles or local dignitaries, levies supplemented the elite professional soldiers. Parthian armies, for example, were created by command of the king, who ordered his subordinates to muster troops and gather at an appointed time and place. These noblemen brought their households, attendant warriors, and hamspah - or levies. Over time there was a gradual move away from citizen and subject recruits to professional standing armies and greater use of mercenaries. Both classes were formerly levies who saw warfare as a career rather than a duty. In turn, this opened the way for promotion on merit rather than birth, creating armies loyal to generals rather than the old social order.

1	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Eas_Atr_Archer_Spearmen) Nizagan-i Eranshahr (Persian Archer Spearmen) Armed with spear and bow, these troops are not well-regarded by the Greeks, having formed the bulk of the old Persian army defeated by Alexander the Great. They can hold the line against weaker infantry and cavalry. but they cannot be relied upon to put up an extended fight if the situation is not in their favor.

2	256	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Eas_Atr_Pikemen) Pantodapoi Phalangitai (Persian Levy Pikemen) These troops are mostly levies of Judean, Syrian, and Persian descent that are co-opted into the army. They fight as pikemen, with no armour but round Illyrian style shields and Phrygian caps. This makes them a viable pike unit, though they are less disciplined and more prone to flee than more reliable Greeks and Macedonians.

3	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Eas_Atr_Skirmishers) Gund-i Palta (Persian Skirmishers) Most armies use poorly equipped levies as skirmishers, very often as javelinmen, as these troops require relatively little training and financial investment, relying mostly on widespread natural skills and scant gear, while still providing some useful service.

4	300	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Eas_Hillmen) Kofyaren (Hyrkanian Hillmen) Verkhana Kofyaren, or Hyrkanian Hillmen, are bands of warriors from the various clans of Hyrkania in northern Persia. These men are adept at guerrilla warfare and can serve as fierce light infantry. They wear simple tunics and are armed with spears, axes and shields. They are fierce warriors and will give a good account of themselves, but more disciplined infantry will get the better of them in combat.
