Barbarian Town (Grain)

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.

1	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (AOR_10_Crossbows) Gastraphetes (Crossbow Infantry) This unit is the forerunner of medieval arbalesters. The gastraphetes crossbow, however, is more a handheld siege weapon than a battlefield weapon. The army of Syracuse was one of the first to use this weapon, with one unit of psiloi under the tyrant Dionisyus I. Later, this weapon would find its way into the Macedonian army of Alexander, used during several sieges by specially trained soldiers to kill city defenders.

2	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (AOR_10_Dart_Slingers) Kestrosphendones (Dart Slingers) The kestros is a dart thrown by a specially made sling, or propelled by a staff on a sling. It takes a long time to reload, but allows for more deadly and accurate shots than any other weapon of the time if correctly used, thanks to the shape of the darts, which can fly straight and precise trajectories. This weapon is mentioned in a Polybian account about new weapons in the army of Perseus, shortly before the last open confrontation between the Macedonians and the Roman Republic (169-168 BCE).""""

22	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (AOR_22_Mesopotamian_Levies) Gund-i Madaen (Mesopotamian Levies) Levies can fight and are relatively cheap to maintain, but lack skill and conviction.

23	36	Elephants / Elephant / (AOR_23_Indian_War_Elephants) Elephantes Indikoi (Indian War Elephants) The most exotic and temperamental of beasts, these huge animals will trample any enemy underfoot and even scare away other smaller elephants!

The bows they carry are a larger version of the Scythian recurved composite bow, enabling them to outrange, outshoot, and outpower other steppe nomad horse archers, making these foot bowmen the ideal counter to horse archers in a stationary exchange of missiles.
28	175	175	502	502				9	165	5	15	12	11	8	26	1	20	25

30	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (AOR_3_Gallic_Levies) Aeudi Lugoae (Gallic Levies) During periods of strife and war, it is sometimes necessary to call upon ordinary citizens to organize as militia. Called Lugoae, militia in Celtic societies are farmers, craftsmen, fishermen, and so on, called to brief military service in periods of crisis. They may train a few times a year to fight, and games and sports encourage a decent level of physicality, but they're still only militia, and can only be trusted to do so much.

31	120	Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (AOR_3_Gallic_Light_Cavalry) Leuce Epos (Gallic Cavalry) Leuce Epos constitute the bulk of Gallic cavalry. Well-trained compared to many of their enemies’ cavalry, they are invaluable to any army. They throw javelins at a distance, depleting an enemy before charging with their main spears. They are trained to throw javelins, charge, and withdraw repeatedly, and they do it well. A bronze helmet, shield, and light weapons may not seem the equipment of any particularly great cavalry, but they are a solid medium cavalry force, capable of running down routers, defeating light cavalry, and skirmishing if necessary.
31	120	120	1216	1216								26	9	22	39	4	20	40
32	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (AOR_3_Gallic_Medium_Spearmen) Gaelaiche (Gallic Spearmen) The Gaelaiche carry cheap equipment: Celtic longspears, javelins, and a shield. Their longspears are fair quality, with broad, sharp heads that cause deep, terrible gashes, and can be used to bring down horses as well. These weapons are accompanied by javelins thrown into an enemy position to disorient and kill a few foes. The Gaelaiche are mostly composed of the youngest Celtic warriors, but there is no shame in an older, experienced warrior fighting with a spear as well; the spear is a respected weapon in Celtic society.

33	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (AOR_3_Gallic_Skirmishers) Aeudi Gaeroas (Gallic Skirmishers) Even the poorest of the tribe can fight for the tribe's honour and glory.

34	300	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (AOR_3_Gallic_Swordsmen) Bataroas (Gallic Swordsmen) The Bataroas hail from a region the Romans call Transalpine Gaul (Gaul on the other side of the Alps). Raised from the Celtic warrior class, these Gauls are proud and experienced fighters who often value feats of impetuous valour over acts of more prudent common sense.
34	300	300	865	865								38	11	17	62	8	20	50
35	300	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (AOR_39_Dacian_Falxmen) Daki Drepanephoroi (Dacian Falxmen) Falxmen give all enemies pause: who wants to be cut in two with a single blow?

36	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (AOR_40_Sardinian_Archers) Kasatim Shardanim (Sardinian Archers) Archers are ideal for harassing the enemy from afar, and goading them into foolish action.
36	175	175	376	376				9	165	5	15	10	7	6	22	1	20	25
37	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (AOR_40_Sardinian_Levies) Dorkim Shardanim (Sardinian Levies) Levies are plentiful, and can stand in battle when properly commanded.
37	300	300	417	417								21	9	10	60	3	20	35
38	120	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!
38	120	120	1084	1084								26	11	20	34	2	20	35
39	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (AOR_5_Germanic_Hunters) Skutjanz (Germanic Hunters) A deer or a man: the target still needs killing.

40	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (AOR_7_Alpine_Levies) Noricene Lugoae (Alpine Levies) While ill-disciplined, these men are ferocious fighters in search of honour.

41	300	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (AOR_7_Alpine_Swordsmen) Kluddacorii (Alpine Swordsmen) Tribes from the Alps and some nearby territories have swordsmen of their own: the Kluddacorii (Klod-ah-kur-ee-eye; “Sword Band”). These men often wear little in battle, removing anything that might be a hindrance except trousers and shoes, and fight using a powerful charge after throwing their javelins in an attempt to overwhelm an enemy position or break a gap in an opposing line. Warriors from these tribes are high-spirited and very eager to fight given the chance, so they have decent morale, but their lack of armour is a detriment in a prolonged engagement, or if they are flanked.
41	300	300	727	727								33	11	13	65	6	20	35
42	200	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (AOR_9_Mamertine_Spearmen) Mamertinoi Doryphoroi (Mamertine Spearmen) The famous Mamertines are named after the Oscan war god they worship, Mamers.

43	300	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Dac_Carpi_Swordsmen) Carpi Machairaphoroi (Carpi Swordsmen) The Celticisation of western Dacians has led to a bigger number of swordsmen in the Dacian army. These units are skilled and versatile, and the Carpi are one of the most well-known fighting tribes among the Dacians. They are primarily mountaineers living on both sides of the Carpathians, which bear their name.
43	300	300	475	475								32	11	11	50	1	20	40
44	300	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Dac_Dii_Rhomphaiaphoroi) Dii Rhomphaiaphoroi (Dii Falxmen) The Dii, known for their barbaric fierceness and cruelty, have been known to massacre an entire city, including the animals. In battle they prefer the ambush, and their attack is strong enough to break even experienced formations. Equipped with a short falx, a Pelte shield and helmets of Thracian style, the Dii are good shock troops.
44	300	300	663	663								40	11	15	55	3	20	55
45	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Dac_Elite_Skirmishers) Komatai Epilektoi (Elite Dacian Skirmishers) Selected for their better equipment and superior physical abilities, the Komatai Epilektoi are a step beyond the standard Komatai. Equipped with the same studded leather armour worn over trousers and woollen shirts, most of these men also wear a simple iron helmet. They can also afford higher quality shields and better weapons: two heavier, well-made iron throwing spears and a Celtic longsword are fairly standard. With their better equipment, they can stand in a battle line.

46	256	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Dac_Light_Phalanx) Getikoi Stratiotai (Dacian Light Pikemen) The tribes that have contact with the Hellenic poleis on the western shores of the Pontus Euxinus form a distinct breed of warriors. These men are renowned for their ferocity, and all Macedonian expeditions sent against them effectively disappear in the Getic wasteland", Moreover Macedonian kings like Lysimakos knew Getic captivity. Their contact with the Hellenic poleis made them well familiarized with the phalanx formation. These men are equipped with Phrygian helmets, padded leather armour and large oval shields. For weapons, they carry a spear and a sica into battle, similar to most Hellenic phalanx soldiers."

47	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Dac_Medium_Sica_Warriors) Epilektoi Sicaphoroi (Dacian Medium Sica Warriors) These medium infantrymen are the chosen ones" amongst the efficient and numerous Sicaphoroi. They are still equipped with a sica as main weapon, and still rely on iron-tipped javelins. They do not have helments, but wear a light and flexible composite leather jacket reinforced by bronze pieces."
47	200	200	876	876								38	11	13	74	8	20	55
48	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Dac_Moesian_Spearmen) Moisoi Doryphoroi (Moesian Spearmen) Moesia is a semi-mountainous, landlocked region. The Moesians are grouped into several tribes and are frequently at war against their neighbors. The choice weapons for these infantrymen are a spear and oval shield. They are sometimes willingly recruited as mercenaries by the Greeks and Macedonians, to avoid their raids on the frontier by denying them their best soldiers.
48	300	300	462	462								24	9	10	67	3	20	40
49	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Dac_Peucini_Skirmishers) Peukini Akontistai (Peucini Skirmishers) Peucini armies mainly consist of lightly equipped infantry. The vast majority of them are skirmishers, with maces and axes as secondary weapons. They have settled in the delta of the Istros (Danube), on an island called Peuce facing the Pontus Euxinus, hence their name.

50	300	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Dac_Sica_Warriors) Komatai Sicaphoroi (Dacian Sica Warriors) The Sicaphoroi, sica bearers," are recruited from the peasantry, and fight with a falx and javelins, in the common way of Getic and Dacian warriors. The Sica is the common short falx used by peasants for harvesting. It is not designed as a true weapon, but over time, a true military version has been developed as a main weapon by experienced warriors."
50	300	300	519	519								34	11	13	69	1	20	45
51	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Dac_Skirm) Dakes Akontistai (Dacian Skirmishers) These skirmishers are used to plague an enemy line with repeated volleys of javelins.

A baggage train can supply armies even under harsh weather conditions, and is vital for prolonged military campaigns.
