Alexandria (Occupied)

Heir to Alexander.

Even in the ancient world, cities grew up in places where people had already been living for a long time because the sites were defensible, controlled river crossings, had natural resources nearby or were safe from floods and other natural disasters. Cities, despite their rulers’ best intentions, were rarely planned. There might be sections where public buildings stood by broad, open streets and temples were laid out in magnificent splendour, and patrician dwellings hid rich opulence behind bland frontages. But equally likely, if you walked a few paces in the wrong direction, you would be guaranteed to find a maze of twisty backstreets, cheek-by-jowl houses, and run-down slums, alehouses, whorehouses and slaughterhouses, all jostling for what little space there was within the walls. The city was the world in miniature, with all the wonder and squalor that implied. Romans and Greeks equally could take civic pride in their urbanity and sophistication, and at the same moment be a little disgusted by the dirt and tawdriness of the back streets only yards away.

200 Melophoroi
Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Eas_Atr_Apple-Bearers)
Melophoroi
(Persian Apple-Bearers)

These troops are not the picked elite of the Persian army, but they constitute the backbone of the army as its standing core of professional soldiers. They are not hoplites, nor do they fight in a phalanx, but neither are they unskilled levies. They carry a long spear with counterweights made of silver and gold �apples,� (so are called melophoroi, �apple-bearers�), a dipylon shield, and wear the typical Persian scale armour, but have no helmets.

Vazraka Sparabara

The Sparabara are recruited from full members of Persian society. They are trained from childhood to be soldiers, and when not called out to fight on campaigns in distant lands, they practice hunting on the vast plains of Persia.

Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Eas_Atr_Shield_Bearers)
Sparabara
(Shield Bearers)

The Sparabara, meaning "shield bearers" in Persian, are usually the first to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. These soldiers are armoured in quilted linen and carry large rectangular wicker shields as a form of light manoeuvrable defence.

Shuban-i Fradakhshana

In battle, slingers are used as light skirmishers, troops with no armour or melee weapons but who rush forward against the enemy to pepper them with stones, only to flee when threatened.

300 Gund-i Nizagan
Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Eas_Atr_Spear)
Gund-i Nizagan
(Eastern Spearmen)

These poorly trained levy infantry are armed with a spear and a leather-covered wicker shield. Spearmen such as these are trained to form ordered ranks and to march in step. Grouping together bolsters morale and the shieldwall helps to neutralise arrows.

200 Poy-Darsam
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Eas_Atr_Elite_Infantry)
Poy-Darsam
(Persian Elite Infantry)

This unit is comprised of some of the greatest warriors in the ancient world. Poy-Darsam are armed with a wooden palta shield, and characteristic axes and maces. They wear brilliant corselets of heavy scales to protect against the fiercest attacks, and they can hold their own in even a protracted melee. Their great pride and honour prevent them from wearing any head protection however, as that would be considered a cowardly and shameful act.
