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.

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.

Nizagan-i Eranshahr
(Persian Archer Spearmen)

Armed with spear and bow, these troops are not well-regarded by the Greeks, having formed the bulk of the old Persian army defeated by Alexander the Great. They can hold the line against weaker infantry and cavalry. but they cannot be relied upon to put up an extended fight if the situation is not in their favor.

Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Eas_Atr_Armoured_Archers)
Thanvare-i Aturpatekan
(Heavy Atropatenean Archers)

These archers are the result of numerous Achaemenid Persian reforms, more or less inspired by Greek military traditions. Their armour is made of quilted cloth, leather, or quilted leather, often studded with bronze or iron rivets, offering some rudimentary protection without compromising mobility too much.

Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Eas_Atr_Axemen)
Tabargane Eranshahr
(Persian Axemen)

The Tabargan are steadfast warriors, aggressive and impetuous in temperament, valued by Iranians and Hellenes alike for their ferocity and courage. They are armed with the Sagaris axe, which they wield with skill, and a bundle of javelins. While ill-disciplined, they are prepared to use guerilla tactics.

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.

200 Arsti-Xsayaoiya
Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Eas_Atr_Guards)
Arsti-Xsayaoiya
(Satrap Guard Spearmen)

These spearmen wear scale armour underneath their robes, and do not carry shields or helmets to encourage their comrades with their contempt for the enemy's attacks. Their lack of shields also gives them greater manoeuvrability to fire their bows. Having practiced on the hunt and in many wars, they are some of the deadliest archers in the world.

256 Pantodapoi Phalangitai
Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Eas_Atr_Pikemen)
Pantodapoi Phalangitai
(Persian Levy Pikemen)

These troops are mostly levies of Judean, Syrian, and Persian descent that are co-opted into the army. They fight as pikemen, with no armour but round Illyrian style shields and Phrygian caps. This makes them a viable pike unit, though they are less disciplined and more prone to flee than more reliable Greeks and Macedonians.

175 Gund-i Palta
Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Eas_Atr_Skirmishers)
Gund-i Palta
(Persian Skirmishers)

Most armies use poorly equipped levies as skirmishers, very often as javelinmen, as these troops require relatively little training and financial investment, relying mostly on widespread natural skills and scant gear, while still providing some useful service.

Kofyaren
(Hyrkanian Hillmen)

Verkhana Kofyaren, or Hyrkanian Hillmen, are bands of warriors from the various clans of Hyrkania in northern Persia. These men are adept at guerrilla warfare and can serve as fierce light infantry. They wear simple tunics and are armed with spears, axes and shields. They are fierce warriors and will give a good account of themselves, but more disciplined infantry will get the better of them in combat.
