Taksashila Military (Recruitment) Level 4

Hamspah Barracks

A permanent garrison gives the safety needed for growth and trade.

Mustering a force required careful planning. Levies were often expected to provide their own arms, such as spear and shield, or javelins and even bows. If this was not done, they would have to be outfitted at the expense of the state treasury. This took time, and the easiest way to get everyone organised and equipped was in temporary camps. Dependent on circumstances and population, permanent quarters or barracks for levies would be built. Barrack-based troops could be used to supplement town watches or to patrol borders and guard trade routes. Even so, conscript levies were usually poorly trained, and more lightly equipped than noble, professional or mercenary soldiers.

1	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (ind_armoured_swordsmen) Utkrsta Khadgadhara (Indian Chosen Swordsmen) Boasting handsome salaries, these soldiers are exceptionally well-trained and equipped with broadswords, mail armour, circular wooden shields reinforced with iron, and darts/javelins, with thick turbans as headgear. They are equipped to suit a fighting style that is more expressive and fierce compared to their lesser counterparts.
1	200	200	1267	1267								39	12	18	77	16	20	60
2	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.

3	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (ind_guildsmen) Sreni Pattya Yoddaha (Indian Warrior Guildsmen) These infantrymen, members of self-regulating professional guilds called "Sreni," are equipped with the best that money can buy. For defence, they wear armour of iron and brass scales over a quilted cotton cuirass, with additional protection for the arms, legs, and shoulders. For offence, they carry a large sword-axe made of high quality iron from the mines of Magadha.

4	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (ind_heavy_swordsmen) Ksatriya Uttarapatha (Indian Heavy Swordsmen) They carry metal round shields and are armed with Khanda swords. These warriors make quite good assault infantry and their swords may cut through most infantry.
4	200	200	977	977								40	11	13	73	10	20	55
5	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.
5	200	200	880	880				9	215	7	15	26	10	8	34	3	20	45
6	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (ind_macemen) Ksatriya Gadahasta Yoddhr (Indian Macemen) Warriors from the higher tiers of the Kshatriya caste, these men have chosen to fight with the mace, a weapon with substantial symbolic importance in India. These men are professional soldiers, paid by the government and very well trained in combat. Heavily equipped and well trained, these men are excellent infantry to send into the fiercest melee.
6	200	200	958	958								39	11	13	67	10	20	55
7	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.
7	200	200	515	515				9	165	5	15	19	9	8	30	1	20	40
8	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.
8	300	300	512	512								34	10	11	57	1	20	45
9	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.
