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	300	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (ind_axemen) Parasudharah (Indian Axemen) These axe-bearers are not guards, but regular soldiers. They wield long two-handed iron axes with wooden or bamboo handles. Since they wear little to no armour and do not carry shields, they are vulnerable to missile fire, but their halberd-like poleaxes can cut through infantry and cavalry alike. Axemen like these can be seen on grave paintings in the Ajanta Caves.

2	200	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (ind_longbowmen) Capadhara Yoddhr (Indian Longbowmen) These men are armed with the weapon most closely associated with the ancient Indian warrior: the longbow. These archers can use their bows with great efficiency, and though they may not have the best aim, the power and range of their weapons more than makes up for this, and their broadswords make them more capable in melee than most archers.

3	200	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (ind_southern_mercs) Dravida Bharya (Dravidian Mercenaries) The word Dravidian comes from the Sanskrit term dravida, which means southern. These Dravidian tribal warriors wear simple loincloths, or even skirts made out of plants, and are armed with simple spears and bows. While not directly subjects of the emperor, a substantial part of Mauryan armies consists of auxiliary troops levied from allied kingdoms and subservient tribes, used to bolster the size of the army.

4	300	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (ind_swordsmen) Ksatriya Khadgacarmadharas (Indian Swordsmen) Armed with big chopping swords and tall shields, these swordsmen are the shock infantry of Indian armies. The kukri swords they wield have a curved shape, resembling the Greek kopis, but are bigger. They are likely the product of Hellenic influences on Indian armament, where the Indians have adapted the shape to fit other purposes as well.

5	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (ind_veteran_spearmen) Sathriya Leetipadai (Pandyan Spearmen) These battle-hardened veteran spearmen are recruited from more elder Kshatriyas. They are useful as flank-guards, advance guards for the archers, and reserves behind the swordsmen, in case any foe, especially horsemen, should get the better of them.
