Chieftain |
|
The Gaulish armies and the other Barbarian
tribes have nowhere near the level of
organization the Roman and Eastern armies
demonstrate. The warriors in these armies will
follow whomever they think will lead them to
victory. |
|
|
Druid |
|
The Druids are priestly corps in charge of
safeguarding the history and traditions of
the Celtic tribes. They lead religious
ceremonies and care for the diseased. |
|
|
Infantry |
|
Infantrymen are the most basic troop amongst
the Barbarian tribes. They are recruited from
the strongest and most robust peasants. They
are lightly armed and their main objective is
to build and repair siege engines and defence
towers. They are also in charge of building
garrisons. |
|
|
Bowmen |
|
In terms of apprececiaton, archers are
thought of as the lowest form of soldier
amongst the Gaulish, German and Briton
warriors. However, great quantities of
fearsome Bowmen are used to harass Roman
armies. |
|
|
Pikemen |
|
The Barbarians recruit Pikemen from the best
infantrymen. They are then provided with a
sharp iron headed spear, and their main
function is to confront the enemy's cavalry.
They are less flexible then than their Roman
counterparts, but much more resistant to
damage. |
|
|
Warriors |
|
The tall, strong and savage looking Barbarian
Warrior has terrorised the Midterranean for
centuries. They are superior in one to one
combat than any other type of infantry.
However, they lack the discipline and
flexibility that characterises the
Legionaries. |
|
|
Nobles |
|
Amongst the Gauls, Nobles are the most
prestigious combat unit. This is why the
Barbarians have the strongest and most
heavily equipped cavalry, but this is at the
cost of neglecting command in the infantry.
As with all other cavalry troops, Nobles are
vulnerable to spears and arrows and cannot
penetrate dense forest. |
|
|
Mounted Bowmen |
|
Barbarian mounted bowmen are certainly better riders
than Roman archers. However the combination of speed
and offensive range ability make them the choise
troop for harassing and disorganising the enemy on
flat and open ground. |
|
|
Hunters |
|
The Roman Legiones were masters of the
battlefield for centuries, forcing the
Barbarian tribes to learn guerilla warfare.
The Barbarian hunters are the strongest most
gifted and experienced of these guerillas.
Their knowledge of forests allow them, given
a few moments alone, hide them in a forest
so as to make them completely invisible to
any enemy that may come close to them. |
|
|
Berserkers |
|
The most savage Barbarian Warriors are armed
with long swords, and they have no need for
things like armour and helmets. When they
fight against a large number of enemies, the
swords of these warriors draw circles of
death that damage more than one unit per
strike. |
|
|
German Cavalry |
|
The best riders come from the hard and uncivilised
German tribes. They are incredibly brave and are
masters in the art of riding while attacking. Due to
their densely forested German origins, these riders
have no problem with difficult terrain. |
|
|
Hawk Scout |
|
Gaul scouts are an extremely important unit
that are able to see through the eyes of Hawks
and report on terrain from great hight. |
|
|
Wolf Scout |
|
This scout unit can control wolves that are able
to report on activity in dense forest areas.
This can warn the scout of any enemy ambush that
may await there. |
|
|
Catapult |
|
Catapults can throw big rocks in an arc, this
allows the user to hit the enemy without
disrupting their own defensive/offensive lines.
They are however less then accurate when having
to attack moving targets. |
|
|
Ballista |
|
The Ballista has amazing destructive potential
in the battlefield. Using the force of torsion
from animal tendons and guts, it is capable of
propelling huge wooden bolts in a straight
trajectory. In this manner, the wooden bolts are
capable of penetrating many enemy lines before
comming to a halt. |
|
|
Battering Ram |
|
The Battering Ram is a siege weapon designed to
survive long enough to reach the fortress gates
and knock them down. They are also very usefull
for destroying garrisons and defence towers. |
|
|
Assault Ladder |
|
Assault Ladders are the most basic fortress
assault armament. They are however very weak but
are able to move trough shallow water unlike
other siege weapons. |
|
|
Assault Tower |
|
Assault Towers are enormous structures that can
be pushed against the walls of an enemy fortress
in order to gain acces to it. You can place up
to three troops in a tower, they are aslo able
to shoot from inside the tower if your troop has
a range attack. Assault Towers cannot go up or
down slopes. |
