Atropatkan Minor Settlement (Iron) Level 4

Eastern Town (Iron)

Small farming settlements were the backbone of ancient civilisations in the east, feeding the great cities such as Antioch and Seleucia. Situated to exploit good land, fishing, mining or quarrying, defence was often too expensive to be more than a secondary consideration. As the populations of the great cities increased, surplus food from these farming communities became essential. As small military garrisons were positioned to protect valuable resources and trade routes, there was a slow growth of many hamlets into towns, as people and trade passed.

1	200	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Eas_Atr_Elite_Shield_Bearers) Vazraka Sparabara (Elite Shield Bearers) 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.

2	300	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.

3	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Eas_Atr_Slingers) Shuban-i Fradakhshana (Persian Slingers) 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.

4	300	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.
