Massalia (Occupied)

Gateway to Gaul.

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.

1	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (afr_mer_axemen) Qadosh'ba (Ethiopian Axemen) These fierce soldiers fight with the heaviest of the infantry. They wield large double-bladed axes and fight as powerful shock infantry. They wear a mail vest and leather greaves in addition to a long tunic. Fighting without helmets or shields, these men crash into an enemy line ferociously, using their large stature and raw power to push through enemies with reckless abandon.
1	200	200	1224	1224								56	13	25	42	10	20	55
2	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (afr_mer_hoplites) Yam Suph Gora (Red Sea Hoplites) These hoplites are mostly Hellenic colonists who were drawn to the Erythraian Sea coast. Their aspis has no bronze coating, relying on elephant skin instead.
2	200	200	957	957								30	9	20	60	10	20	50
3	300	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (afr_mer_light_melee_inf) Bilit'ti Sayif (Ethiopian Swordmen) These swordsmen are equipped only with helmets and shields, as body armor would just burden a soldier in the hot climate. They are elite troops, and can be expected to fulfil their role as assault infantry as long as they are properly used.
3	300	300	713	713								38	11	19	56	4	20	40
4	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (afr_mer_medium_spearmen) Dill'e Gora (Ethiopian Spearmen) These men are equipped with spears, shields, and helmets the quality of which might change depending who is levying these troops.
4	300	300	808	808								33	9	15	71	8	20	50
5	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (afr_mer_spearmen) Gora'ba (Meroe Spearmen) Armed with javelins, spear and shield, these troops can skirmish and face enemy infantry in melee. They already know that they are superb hunters and warriors, and do not need to prove their skills to anyone by attacking impetuously!
5	300	300	506	506								28	9	14	54	3	20	45
6	300	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (afr_mer_tribal_warriors) Kulus Bomani (Kushite Painted Warriors) The tribal warriors from the Kushite kingdom are described by Herodotus as half-painted in vermillion and white. They are fierce and versatile, used mostly as heavy skirmishers, fighting with clubs, axes and short spears.
6	300	300	576	576								39	11	20	60	1	20	60
7	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (AOR_11_Celtic_Levies) Lugoae Vocontae (Celtic 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.
7	300	300	496	496								21	9	10	65	4	20	30
8	120	Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (AOR_11_Celtic_Light_Cavalry) Vocontae Epos (Vocontii Cavalry) Vocontae Epos constitute the bulk of Vocontii 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.
8	120	120	1216	1216								26	9	22	39	4	20	40
9	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (AOR_11_Celto_Hellenic_Infantry) Keltohellenikoi Thorakitai (Celto-Hellenic Infantry) These shock infantry are Celto-Hellenic 'men-at-arms,' Celtic warriors of a mixed culture. While they are not of especially great station, they are capable warriors fighting in the Celtic manner, in a motley combination of Hellenic and Celtic gear and dress: long Celtic shields, a Greek helmet, a Celtic sword, and javelins. They soften up an opponent with their javelins and charge an enemy once they're weakened with the great force of Celtic warriors.
9	200	200	1263	1263								39	10	15	73	16	20	55
10	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (AOR_11_Greek_Colonist_Levies) Massaloi Pantodapoi (Massilian Colonist Levies) The heritage of the citizen-soldier runs deep in all Greeks, no matter what their home.
10	300	300	562	562								26	9	11	66	4	20	30
11	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (AOR_11_Massalian_Hoplites) Massaloi Hoplitai (Massilian Hoplites) Hoplites: no other word says Greeks at war in quite the same way.
11	200	200	1021	1021								29	9	13	62	12	20	40
12	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (AOR_11_Massalian_Thorax_Hoplites) Massaloi Thorakitai Hoplitai (Massilian Thorax Hoplites) These Massilian warriors are equipped in the traditional hoplite style, sporting heavy chainmail cuirasses.
