Hall of Champions

Fire destroys but it can also create.

Due to the tribal practice of making votive offerings to gods of rivers and waterways, many bronze artefacts have been discovered at the bottom of lakes and rivers all over Europe. The River Thames in London, England must have held particular significance to the local tribes as a number of bronze work pieces have been discovered on the bottom over the years. The Waterloo Helmet, a ceremonial piece with two horns, was discovered in 1868, and the Wandsworth and Battersea shields were also recovered from the river and now reside in the British Museum. Like the helmet, the Battersea Shield is thought to be a ceremonial piece as there is no evidence of damage and no sign that it was ever attached to a wooden base, which would have given it the strength it required to be battle ready.

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.

Dakes Thorakitai Doryphoroi

Well armoured, and hard-hearted, these Dacians are useful spearmen.

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.

Ballista bolt or falx? Does it matter how an enemy dies?

Oxybeles
(Bolt-Thrower)

Honest falx-work or scorpion bolt: it makes no difference as long as the enemy dies.

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.

200 Epilektoi Drapanai
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Dac_Elite_Falxmen)
Epilektoi Drapanai
(Dacian Elite Falxmen)

These very skilled falxmen are the chosen men from the Drapanai units. Well protected, but more agile than the late Roman legionaries, these elites use the terrific cutting power of their falxes to disrupt the enemy lines, or to exploit the gap created by the regular Drapanai.

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

200 Getikoi Epilektoi Hoplitai
Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Dac_Heavy_Hoplites)
Getikoi Epilektoi Hoplitai
(Dacian Heavy Hoplites)

The best Dacian infantrymen are these remarkably well-equipped elite hoplites. They just as impressive as some foot tarabostes could be, with tremendous skill and experience of war. Such infantrymen are a kind of royal foot guard, recruited from among the best by their prince. They guarantee a strong anchor for a wavering battle line.

256 Komatai Thorakitai Stratiotai
Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Dac_Heavy_Phalanx)
Komatai Thorakitai Stratiotai
(Dacian Heavy Pikemen)

These are the rank-and-file of the Getic professional troops, raised once the Getic state reached a strong level of organisation. They are well adapted to dense forested areas, thus their cohesion does not suffer from fighting in rough terrain when in close formation. These warriors wear mail shirts, and Phrygian helmets over their traditional wool shirts and trousers, befitting their status as professionals.

200 Getikoi Hoplitai
Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Dac_Medium_Hoplites)
Getikoi Hoplitai
(Dacian Hoplites)

These Dacian hoplites have adopted the tactics of the Greek originals. They have adapted the use of phalanxes and tortoise formations, and fight with a reinforced and wide thureos shield, leather armour, and a bronze helmet.

Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Dac_Reformed_Infantry)
Daoi Thorakitai Machairaphoroi
(Dacian Thorax Swordsmen)

Men of skill and experience are chosen to assist Dacian spearmen in close combat. These late elite infantrymen are actually inspired by roman legionary warfare. They are protected by leather scale armour, chainmail, and simply designed helmets.

Sauromatai-Daoi Toxotai
(Sarmato-Dacian Noble Archers)

These Sarmatised" elite archers are late dismounted Daco-Sarmatian troops. They wear the typical spangenhelm and scaled armour, and are nobles or a chosen elite."

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.

300 Dakes Doryphoroi
Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Dac_Spear_Warriors)
Dakes Doryphoroi
(Dacian Spearmen)

These spearmen have some training, and are a reasonably capable force.
