Latin Rebels (Hannibal at the Gates) Missile Infantry

Illyro-Italian Bow Auxiliaries

Versatile warriors that fight effectively with bow and sword. Can form testudo.

This imitation auxilia unit is the result of constant interaction between Northern Illyrian tribes and expansionist Latins. Comfortable in either a support or assault roles, these versatile troops shower the enemy with arrows from afar before advancing into the melee. Their heavier armament makes them quick to tire, but they are far less vulnerable to cavalry charges and opposing ranged units.
