Barbarian Town (Silk)

Many hungry mouths are filled in a town.

Roman and Greek historians often described the barbarian tribes as wandering people who lived for the hunt and knew little of farming and construction. Nothing could be further from the truth. A number of structures have been discovered that show that so-called 'barbarians' had a firm grasp of building techniques and were able to construct homes and defences that have survived for thousands of years. Brochs, dry stone buildings found in Scotland, survived the harsh weather and provide interesting information about the people who built them. Many were multi-storey dwellings and historians still debate their use: some believe they were defensive structures; others argue they may have been prestige buildings, symbols of wealth and power.

Tabargan Suguda
(Sogdian Axemen)

Often hired to protect merchant caravans along the Silk Road, these soldiers wear native-style dress, and some are equipped with Scythian armour. They wield large poleaxes to fend off cavalry and infantry.

Zubindar-i Suguda
(Sogdian Javelinmen)

These men risk their lives by closing with the enemy while carrying only the lightest of equipment. Most armies use poorly equipped levies as skirmishers, very often as javelinmen, since these troops require relatively little training and financial investment, relying mostly on widespread natural skills and scant gear.

Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (AOR_26_Yuezhi_Archers)
Jamsya Yukhuna Duna Purma
(Yuezhi Horse Archers)

These horsemen make up the backbone of the Yuezhi cavalry, as horse-archers. As such, they are armed with extremely powerful composite bows of the asymmetrical, or "Hunnic" style. Their qualities as archers are offset by their performance in melee, as they are lightly armed and wear little to no armour. Used wisely, these mounted archers are a danger to any ill-prepared enemy.

120 Reidonez
Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (AOR_5_Germanic_Cavalry)
Reidonez
(Germanic Cavalry)

Reidonez ride small and sometimes poor quality horses, though they are excellent light cavalry. They are useful as scouts as well as skirmishers. However, like many Germanic warriors, they can lack battle-discipline and be overeager to enter battle against worthy opponents. This can lead them to be headstrong and difficult to restrain before a fight, as personal glory gained in battle is always welcome. Honour and standing come from fighting, and sometimes the urge for glory overwhelms their good sense!

200 Ambacti
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Ibe_Edetani_Ambacti)
Ambacti
(Edetani Guard)

These men are of high birth, forming the faithful followers of Edetani chieftans and bound religiously by a promise of loyalty: they protect their lord in battle to the last man. They are skilled, hardy, and very competent in hand-to-hand combat, which makes them effective against the best troops the enemy has to offer.

300 Dunaminica
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Ibe_Edetani_Heavy_Infantry)
Dunaminica
(Iberian Heavy Infantry)

The Dunaminica (Dun-a-min-eek-ah; "Fort Soldier") are the best regular footmen in Iberia. Their weapons and armour are those common to the Celtiberian elite. For weapons they have the famous Gladius Hispaniensis, which would become the standard Roman sword, complemented by javelins similar to the Roman light pilum. To protect themselves, they carry a scutum, a Celtic Montefortino helmet, Iberian bronze greaves, and an elaborate set of breastplates.

300 Neizes
Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Ibe_Edetani_Levy_Spearmen)
Neizes
(Iberian Levy Spearmen)

These levies prefer to fight only when their lands are in danger, because they cannot afford to lose what little they have, however they are able to participate in regional plundering against their neighbours if they can obtain some additional wealth through distributing loot after the battle. A precarious life with a simple diet makes a man dangerous; he becomes as cruel as the necessity he calls life.

300 Iabarannta
Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Ibe_Edetani_Light_Inf)
Iabarannta
(Edetani Light Infantry)

These men are hardened warriors and constitute the bulk of Edetani armies. They wear bronze helmets and round bronze breastplates above their short linen tunic. Their main weapons are the spear and the Soliferrum (a full-metal heavy javelin).

175 Karsken
Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Ibe_Edetani_Slingers)
Karsken
(Iberian Slingers)

Armed only with their sling and a knife, these slingers are largely unprotected aside from their small wicker buckler. This makes them extremely vulnerable to any troops that can catch them in a melee, and even light cavalry is likely to just run through them without breaking a sweat.

300 Iberi Lugoae
Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Ibe_Edetani_Tribesmen)
Iberi Lugoae
(Iberian Tribesmen)

In essence, these tribesmen are a transition between skirmishers and light infantry, for they are relatively more fierce than other peoples' support troops, and expected to be a part of some of the hand-to-hand fighting if given an opportunity. However, armed with a bundle of javelins, a spear, and protected only by a small shield, they should not be confused with real light infantry, and should not be expected to fight a protracted melee against a well-organised and prepared enemy.

60 Baggage Train
Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Supply_Iberian)
Baggage Train
Baggage trains, if attached to an army, grant additional supplies for a limited number of turns, varying for each campaign based on turns per year. A baggage train can supply armies even under harsh weather conditions, and is vital for prolonged military campaigns.
