Medium Assault Raider - Duguth Spearmen

Able to withstand rough seas, these ships' crews can capture enemy vessels in any weather.

It may take many battles to find the best place to embed a spearhead.

Most of the northern European tribes were not naval powers, but there were still able seafarers to be found amongst them. Shipbuilding techniques were well understood, so while many vessels were small leather-skinned boats for inland and inshore use, bigger sea-going vessels were also made. Shipwrights used heavy planking for hulls, stitched together and then fastened to a wooden skeleton to create sturdy craft able to cope with Atlantic conditions. Julius Caesar was surprised at the quality of the enemy ships when his fleet clashed with the Veneti from modern-day Brittany. The Veneti vessels had flat bottoms to cope with shallows, but were also of heavy oak construction to cope with rough seas. This made them tough opposition for Roman galleys, and capable of shrugging off a ramming attack. Caesar said that the enemy ships "...were constructed of planks a foot in breadth, fastened by iron spikes the thickness of a man's thumb; the anchors were secured fast by iron chains instead of cables”. When the Romans were forced to board, they faced fearsome warriors used to close-quarters fighting at sea.

(Duguth Spearmen)
While not as disciplined as Roman Legionaries, Rome's attempts to incorporate Germania into its empire left its mark on Germanic armies, particularly the various tribal factions settled along the borders, who served as a buffer and fought as foederati for the Romans. Surely influenced by Rome's burgeoning Legions, the Saxoni developed remarkable military organisation for a northern Germanic tribe. Warriors were grouped into warbands, each with its own chief, and were further categorised into classes. Of these, the Gedriht were the personal retainers of the chief, who swore an oath to die with their leader. The Geoguth were the youngest warriors, who formed the bulk of a warband and fought on the frontline. The Duguth were older, veteran warriors, who had earned their positions but may not have been as swift as their younger counterparts. Naturally, the best equipment was reserved for the Gedriht, while the other two classes shared what little weapons and armour were left - metal and metalworking skills were uncommon in Germania at this time. The elite warriors were also responsible for starting the baritus, the infamous, terrifying Germanic war-chant.
