With luck and skill you can exterminate half the enemy army before going in.Most basic unit of all. These machines are priceless whe taking cities because they are able from a safe position to devastate enemy forces which are behind the walls, leading to panic.
Usual greek-type Peltasts (called Velites in Rome). The most powerful unit in Rome: Total War.
More powerful are only Armoured War Elephants.
These are small elephants who don't shoot arrows, plus they run amok pretty fast. Light support cavalry, used to harass the enemy's flanks. The General's unit, his faithful bodyguards. Try pulling out the Riders of Rohan attack trick while using them.Only thing that will remain of the enemy will be piles of dead bodies (be careful with heavy spearmen and infantry, though, after the initial charge, if everything is not down, then you should go back and return again).įearsome devices. To be used in combination with the Cataphracts.Īwesome cavalry, just crushes everything. Usual light cavalry, though, a bit less strong than the light roman cavalry. Excellent unit, must be your main infantry as soon as you get it - and the money. The best copy of roman Legionaries abroad. The best phalanx units for this faction, recommended to be replaced by or used together with the Legionaries. These are also useful as peasants to "transfer population", but they cost more, so I guess they're pretty unnecessary - can be used only as Town Watch.Ī better phalanx unit than the Levy, these must replace their predecessors. The Militia Hoplites act as the Town Watch - very useful outside of the battlefield, when you need someone to guard a town (leave at least 4 regiments of Militia Hoplites, they'll be okay), or on the battlefield, when you need to distract an enemy group, lure them into a trap or something. However, it's useful if you want to "transfer population" from one settlement to another (Show me How).
