{barb_peasant_briton} 蛮族農民

{barb_peasant_briton_descr}
森林に隠れる\n\n農民は気乗りしない戦士であるが、蛮族農民は他よりも優秀な戦士である（厳しい環境は厳しい男達を作る）。全ての軍隊で集団は有利であり、農民を強制的に徴兵するのは安く大量の男達を掻き集める一つの方法である。 彼らは多少の戦術的な判断力を持つが、戦うことには消極的だ（興味もなく、理解もできない戦いに引っ張り出されるより家を守るだろう）。しかし、援護があれば、土地を見て隠れることの名人だ。

{barb_peltast_gaul} 投槍戦士

{barb_peltast_gaul_descr}
森林に隠れる\n濃い草むらに隠れる\n\nSkirmishers are lightly armed troops who should break up and harass enemy formations before the main battle lines meet, and act as a screen for heavier troops. Their skills also make them useful in springing tactical ambushes.\n\nEach man is armed with a clutch of throwing spears, a short sword and a small shield, but they do not wear armour preferring speed over protection. \n\nSkirmisher Warbands are often the tribe's younger warriors. These men have yet to prove themselves as warriors, so are not necessarily tough enough to stand against a seasoned enemy in hand-to-hand fighting.

{barb_peltast_gaul_descr_short}
散兵 rush forward to pepper an enemy with throwing spears, and then run away before a counter-attack can be organised.

{barb_slinger_briton_descr}
森林に隠れる\n\n投石器は単純な武器に見られがちだが、投石兵は一撃で最強の男を倒すことも可能だ。投石兵は敵目掛けて石の雨を降らせ、大ダメージの標的とする。結局のところ、彼らは少年期より投石器で狩りをしてきている。投石兵は（ナイフやショートソード、盾のみといった）装備や防具のため、自ら切り刻まれに行くような混戦に参加することはできない。遠距離から敵を殺す、最強の飛び道具を使う戦士である。

{barb_archer_dacian} 弓戦士

{barb_archer_dacian_descr}
森に隠れる\n\nArcher warbands are used to harass and break up enemy formations, so that other warriors can then get in amongst their enemies. The members of the warband are lightly armed and equipped, relying more on speed as a protection from foes. Any archers caught in the open by cavalry will be in trouble unless they can withdraw to more favourable ground or behind a shield wall of friendly warriors.\n\nTheir bows have a short range, but each warrior carries a good selection of hunting and war arrows, designed to cause massive bleeding and pierce armour respectively. Their choice of missile is matched to the nature of the target.\n\nThese archers are at their best in wooded country, where their 優秀 stalking skills learned on the hunt can be put to use.

{warband_archer_dacian} 精鋭弓戦士

{warband_archer_dacian_descr}
優秀\n精強\n森林に隠れる\n\nChosen archers are highly prized for their 優秀 skills in war. They are the best archers available to barbarian warlords. They are all, as might be expected, excellent bowmen, fleet of foot and expert hunters. They are given the best bows available to their people, and are also equipped with good swords and chainmail armour too. This equipment means that they can do more than just defend themselves in hand-to-hand combat. They can, when required, act as light infantry. Their presence on a battlefield is always useful, as they have the flexibility to be both archers and infantry and do a good job in both tasks.

{warband_huntsman_gaul} 森林戦士

{warband_huntsman_gaul_descr}
精鋭\nどこにでも隠れる\nすごく精強\n\nA life spent hunting is an excellent training for war. Personal courage, skill and the readiness to take a life can all be learned during a hunt. Foresters are highly skilled men with both the bow and the spear, their preferred weapons. They also each wear good leather armour.\n\nTheir hunting skills also stand them in good stead when stalking men instead of animals - these men can hide almost anywhere, taking advantage of every scrap of cover. The ability to spring ambushes as well as fight hand-to-hand makes them a uniquely flexible force for a warlord and one that, unusually, has enough sense to obey all orders. Foresters already know that they are superb hunters and warriors, and do not need to prove their skills to anyone by attacking just because they can!

{warband_hurler_briton} 投首兵

{warband_hurler_briton_descr}
野生的\n衝動的\n森林に隠れる\n\nIn battle, head hurlers throw the heads of fallen foes coated with quicklime. These missiles are both dangerous and loathsome. Head hurlers combine the practical and the macabre in equal measure - they collect the heads of fallen enemies and preserve these by dipping them in quicklime. The limed heads are used as disgusting missiles in battle, flung into enemy ranks at surprisingly long range. As missiles the heads are heavy enough to cause injuries (and have an undoubted impact on morale) but it is the lime that really does the damage, causing nasty burns. 投首兵 also carry swords for use in close combat should this be necessary.\n\nHead hurlers, however, also show little regard for their own danger and are not above rushing into combat without orders.

衝動的\n森林に隠れる\n\nWarbands are bound to the service of a strongman or petty village head. They are the basic 'unit' to be found in many barbarian armies. They fight well, as glory and loot are the road to status, but are often difficult to control. They care little for discipline and less for restraint, but they can be relied on to fight, and fight hard. In warfare it is up to each man to prove his own bravery and worth, so the savage charge into the enemy is about as sophisticated as they ever want to be!\n\nEach man carries a stabbing spear and a large shield.

森林に隠れる\nファランクス陣形を組める\n\nThe men of a spear warband are effective against cavalry and most infantry, but lack the discipline of more 'civilized' troops. Their spears, however, make them valuable defensive warriors for any warlord.\n\nThe warband is the basic unit of any barbarian army - a group of tough warriors bound together in the service of a tribal strongman or village headman. Each warrior is protected by a large shield. In common with other Germanic warriors, these men are very clever when concealing themselves in forests.

{warband_falx_dacian} 鎌兵

{warband_falx_dacian_descr}
優秀\n衝動的\n森に隠れる\n\nFalxmen are used to carve a path into enemy formations. They are 優秀, but somewhat ill-高い規律 warriors who are willing to charge into a fight without orders. They wear no armour, partly as a sign of their bravery and partly because it would interfere with the free swinging of their falxes.\n\nA falx can cut a man in two lengthways in the hands of a skilled user. It is a frightening weapon: a curved scythe-like blade on the end of a long handle that is sharpened on the inner curve of the blade. The damage from any blow is done with a pulling motion, meaning that any blow that lands will hack off a limb or decapitate a foe at the least. Historically, this is one of the few weapons that made the Romans change their standardised armour, as they added reinforcing bars to Legionary helmets after encountering falxmen.

They are, however, very well equipped with the finest swords that the smiths can make, along with chainmail armour and large shields. They are an intimidating sight for any enemy.

{warband_woad_briton_descr}
衝動的\n精強\n森林に隠れる\n\nReligion and magic are powerful reasons for bravery.\n\nWoad warriors are brave fighters - and mad. They disdain armour and most clothing, preferring to paint themselves with intricate and stylised magical designs in woad (a blue dye) to deflect enemy blows and missiles. The patterns created can be elaborate and almost inhuman, and are supposed to be unnerving for enemies unused to such practices. Belief in magic also armours the woad warriors against fear, and makes them savage, dangerous and not-quite-controllable fighters. Woad warriors carry only blades and shields but it is a foolish commander indeed who underestimates their impact in battle!

{naked_fanatics_dacian_descr}
衝動的\n精強\n森林に隠れる\n\nThere are warriors among the barbarian ranks whose love of battle is such that they live for little else. Clad only in flimsy loincloths, the fanatics whip themselves into a frenzy by chanting, beating themselves and drinking heavily. In this state they make an unnerving sight on the battlefield! They are best sent into battle en masse, shocking the enemy by a ferocious charge, but they should be kept away from enemy cavalry.\n\nThey carry just swords and shields and have practically no discipline, but they can cause heavy casualties among most enemies. They fight mostly (if not completely) naked to emphasise their own fierceness and utter lack of fear. Scars and tattoos adorn their skin, and they let their hair grow wild. Only after a kill is their hair cut, often with a sword blade while standing over a freshly dead foe.\n\nWhile their reckless courage is not in doubt, they can lack the cohesion and discipline to adapt to setbacks, breaking and running in confusion when subjected to severe pressure.

Positioned just behind the battle line druids can also form a powerful reserve, ready to join the fray at a crucial moment.\n\nEquipped with sickle-shaped swords and small shields, the mail-clad druids are excellent fighters. Their good war gear is a reflection of their status as teachers, judges, soothsayers and the focal point of religion and magic among their people. As Celtic cultures lack a written form, they are also the memory of the tribe as well, remembering all the important facts of tribal history.\n\nHistorically, the Romans despised and then targeted these men because they practiced particularly savage forms of human sacrifice and because of their cultural importance. When a tribe's history was wiped out, it became a little easier to bend the people to the will of Rome.

{night_raiders_german_descr}
精強\n歩兵を恐怖させる\n\nFor most armies, night is a time for withdrawing to camp and roasting a boar or two. For German night raiders, it’s the time to paint themselves and set out in search of enemies to slaughter.\n\nLightly armed infantry, the night raiders' value lies in their ability to spread terror. These warriors from the remote depths of the tangled German forests carry just a small shield and an axe, but weapons of iron and steel are only part of their armoury. Before battle, they daub their bodies with black dye, giving them an otherworldly appearance. When the moment is right, they charge - wild-eyed and screaming - at their foes. Any who survive assaults by these maniacal barbarians are convinced they are spirits sent from Hades!

They will use chants, strong drink, potions, rituals and even self mutilation to whip themselves into a fighting frenzy. Once the madness is upon them, little can stop them - their blood-crazed dash into the thick of combat is deeply disheartening (at best) to any who stand against them. They may try to cut their enemies to pieces in this state, but will think nothing of trying to gouge, bite, head butt and kick opponents to death as well.\n\nThey disdain armour as a sign of weakness, along with mercy, common sense and knowing when to stop fighting. They are supremely dangerous foes in close combat.

野生的\n歩兵を恐怖させる\n\nGerman screeching women think nothing of participating in a battle, wailing encouragement to their own men as they fight, and screaming defiance at the enemy to unnerve them. It’s not uncommon for women to accompany armies on campaign, but few actually take to the battlefield. Germanic warriors are inordinately proud, so the prospect of facing the scorn of their women is more than many care to think about. While they wield their hatchets with gusto, their true value is in the unnerving effects they have on enemies - the foul ululations of these women can strike fear into the strongest of hearts! They are best positioned safely behind friendly infantry where, like dark and demented cheerleaders, they can avoid combat while creating their particular brand of intimidation.

Having the wealth to risk a horse in battle requires status, and among barbarians this status is retained by acts of personal bravery. As a result, these men think little or nothing of danger, and are keen to be the first to come to grips with an enemy.\n\nThey are well armed and well armoured, having spears, heavy mail coats and shields. They are, however, prone to attacking whether or not it makes sense to their warlord - glory and honour are always worth pursuing, after all!\n\nThey are best employed at what they do best - hitting an enemy hard and repeatedly. Victory over the foe is always glorious, so they will not think less of an order to attack the flank or rear of an enemy unit.

They can circle an enemy, thickening the air with arrows until they are sufficiently weakened for heavier troops to launch a main attack. Their superb horsemanship means catching them with a counter charge is difficult, even one with light cavalry.\n\nThe Scythians are not a squeamish people and cover their quivers with human skin, which is valued for its whiteness. They aren’t fastidious either, and many never wash themselves or their clothes! \n\nTheir horses are often smaller than those of other nations, partly because many Scythians ride geldings. These animals are, reputedly, less likely to snort and whinny, giving away their position inadvertently.

優秀\n精強\nカンタブリア円陣を組める\n\nHorse-archery is the defining characteristic of warfare on the wide-open steppes of the east. Most nobles and their retinues from these territories are highly practiced in this deadly art from an early age. Scythian nobles are 高い規律, following the well-established code of honour of the upper circles of their people. \n\nThese units of aristocratic mounted bowmen are composed of men of well above average station. They can afford a better class of equipment than typical horse archers, including coats of mail that hang to the rider’s knees when he is in the saddle. They also carry swords, and are not afraid to close for a melee if the opportunity presents itself but are sensible enough not to hurl themselves into the fray without orders.

野生的\n衝動的\n楔型陣形を組める\n\nAmong many Scythian tribes, the culture of war is so strong that both sexes are admired for their prowess in combat. Head hunting maidens are a product of this ethos, and have a strong motive for drawing blood in battle: they are forbidden from marrying until they do so. In the same fashion as any other Scythian warrior, high-ranking maidens who fall in battle are given honour burials along with their weapons and equipment.\n\nFor all their valour, these virgin warriors are physically weaker than most of their male opponents. Consequently, they make good light cavalry, riding down and disrupting enemy archers and light infantry, but (for the sake of future generations if nothing else) they should be protected from the enemy’s stronger forces.

They do not bother with shields so that both hands are free to manipulate the lance.\n\nOn the battlefield Scythian nobles are often used to break through an enemy line after it has been weakened by archery, carrying all before them in a 高い規律, dangerous charge.

優秀\nカンタブリア円陣を組める\n\nScythian noble women are excellent and well-armoured horse archers, but they are vulnerable in close combat. Among the horse tribes of Scythia, it is expected that women of noble families will ride into battle alongside the men. These women provide valuable support to their male kin, softening up the enemy prior to the main battle with a deadly hail of missiles. They are excellent archers and riders, even by the standards of Scythian horsemen. They are armed with superbly accurate and powerful composite bows, but only carry knives for defence.\n\nThe martial culture of Scythia is not discriminatory when it comes to battle: Scythian women who fall in combat are usually buried with their war gear in the same way as the men. Some young girls even have their right breasts mutilated with a hot iron so they don’t restrict their right arms or a bow string. Perhaps such practices are the origin of the stories about the tribe of fearsome Amazon warrior women, said to rule a city hidden somewhere on the steppes!

They can maintain a sustained and concentrated barrage on enemies and then fall back rapidly to avoid hand-to-hand combat. 投石兵 carry a shoulder bag with many pieces of lead shot (they can also use stones picked up on the battlefield) and several spare slings including slings of different length for greater or lesser range. Other than a knife and a small shield, they carry no other equipment.

Learning to use a bow well is something that takes a lifetime and constant practice, and putting food on the table provides good practice.\n\nThey are best used to weaken enemy formations, or placed in a spot where they can retreat and find protection from other troops.

{carthaginian_city_militia_descr}
穴を掘れる\n\nTown militia are trained bands of citizens dragged from their homes and shops, given a spear each and some rudimentary training before they are thrown into battle. Their war gear is literally no more than a cheap shield and a spear, so they are defensive troops best used against light cavalry. They should not be expected to stand unsupported against an enemy, and until they have been seasoned by surviving a battle or two they shouldn't be expected to do much more than defend themselves! They are, however, cost effective to raise.

穴を掘れる\n\nLibyan spearmen are best when defending against cavalry, but can hold a battle line for a while when required. They are recruited from among the lower orders of Carthaginian society, and given basic training in how to handle their spears and war gear. They are better equipped than, say, militia, as they have light leather armour as well as shields and helmets. Their training also makes them effective in battle, as they are unlikely to cut and run in the same way as a militia unit.

They are equipped and organised in the same fashion as Greek hoplites, with long spears, large shields, breastplates and helmets, and they can use phalanx tactics. This is a style of warmaking that has proved its worth over the centuries.\n\nThey are drawn from the social 精鋭 of Carthage, men of noble and wealthy birth and their loyalty is exemplary. The original purpose of the 神聖隊 was to act as an officer corps for the Carthaginian army and an 精鋭 force, and to put Carthage above any local loyalties. Opponents have learned that these men are formidable in battle, a linchpin for the entire Carthaginian army!

精鋭\n衝動的\n精強\n森林に隠れる\n\nAmong the doughty folk of the Spanish hills the bull warriors are men whose bravery, stamina and skill is unmatched. These 精鋭 fighters are shock troops who disregard all danger when cutting their enemies to pieces. Carrying only a sword and shield they do not look much of a threat, a mistaken assessment that enemies rarely get to make twice! This is particularly true of they manage to ambush enemy forces. They fear no men and their over-eagerness to join a battle can be problematic, but like all foot soldiers, they need to be wary of cavalry.\n\nBull warriors derive their name from the distinctive horned helmets which they wear.

They are recruited from amongst nomadic peoples who need their weapon skills to survive in harsh conditions.\n\nThey are best employed to harry enemies and thin their ranks with volleys of missiles. They should avoid being sucked into hand-to-hand combat, as their knives are more useful in skinning animals than killing men; also, other than a small shield they have no armour.\n\nHistorically, Numidian justice was extremely harsh on deserters and cowards: crucifixion was a common punishment.

They are tough troops used to eking out an existence in the unforgiving desert periphery. The prospect of a punishing march across great distances to these robust people is almost as familiar to them as the passing of each day. Equipped with spears and large shields of wood and animal hide, battle holds few fears for these people - life in a desert gives people a certain fatalism.\n\nThey are some of the best fighters available to Numidian commanders, but their lack of formal training is a slight weakness.

They have had training from Roman advisors, and this makes them the best trained of all Numidian soldiery. They cannot, however, use tactics like the tortoise (or testudo) when approaching enemy formations, but they do fight in the same fashion as the original Legionaries, first throwing heavy spears (pila) at the enemy and then closing for hand-to-hand combat.\n\nA combination of rugged upbringing and harsh training makes them reliable and slow to tire in combat: a Numidian force can be sure that these men will do their duty.

This makes them a flexible and powerful force for any commander to have under his hand. They can also fight effectively in melee after a charge, as they carry swords of the falcata design. These are cunningly balanced so that the weight is towards the tip of the sword, giving a powerful cutting blow. Against spearmen, however, they can be at a disadvantage.

They carry spears and wear good armour, so that they can charge home with devastating effect. They are the devoted servants of Astarte, handed over to the temple and state by their patrician families for military duties rather than ritual sacrifice.\n\nHistorically, the great Carthaginian general Hannibal took units of the 神聖隊 over the Alps and into Italy; even though they got no reinforcements from home two-thirds of these men were still fighting after 14 years of campaigning.

{numidian_cavalry} ヌミディア騎兵

{numidian_cavalry_descr}
精強\nカンタブリア円陣を組める\n\nNumidia produces some of the finest cavalry in all Africa, if not the Western Mediterranean world. Armed with javelins, these mounted skirmishers can be a nightmare for an opponent as it can prove practically impossible to pin them down in combat.\n\nTheir tactics are to pelt the enemy with deadly volleys of javelins, and then swiftly retreat when charged. If the enemy stand, they are slaughtered with volleys of javelins, and if they run the Numidian cavalry can ride them down!\n\nInstinctive riders, the Numidians are famed for not using a saddle or reins, using only a stick to direct their horses. Nevertheless, they manoeuvre with the 'grace of a flock of birds'.\n\nHaving adapted to the broken expanses of their homelands, Numidian cavalry have great stamina, and they are also experts in their form of the Cantabrian circle attack.

The kings of Numidia are wise indeed to exploit this pool of skilled fighters. These are also a 精強 people, and can put up with many privations thanks to their desert upbringing.\n\nThey are not the strongest cavalry in the world, but they can surprisingly effective against both infantry and especially other (horse) cavalry. Armed with spears and carrying large shields, they are not at their best in protracted melees, but used as hit-and-run raiders they can be very effective.

戦猟犬 are bred for a savage nature and great size, but then hunting men is only a little more dangerous than hunting mountain lions! The beasts are muscular and powerful. Originally bred for hunting large prey, they are now trained to hunt and attack men. 戦猟犬 are usually unleashed on an enemy to break a line and unnerve opponents. Few men are able to stand steadily in the face of a snarling and partially-starved beast. The hounds are trained to bite and hold on, dragging down their human targets, and hamstringing horses.\n\nTheir handlers are brave and not easily intimidated: many have fingers, hands or even chunks of limbs missing!

They are fast moving, able to trample and gore enemies seemingly at will when being urged on by their riders. They are a living battering ram aimed at the enemy battle line. When pursuing enemies they can be even more deadly. \n\nEach elephant is unarmoured, but many blows simply glance off the tough hide. Only a single rider is carried.

Over three metres tall at the shoulder, these are large and bad-tempered animals, and they have been known to run wild with fear and anger in battle. When this happens no one - friend or foe - is safe. For this reason the driver always carries a small mallet and a spike so that he can kill the animal if necessary by driving the spike into the base of the skull.\n\nThe crew are armed with bows to shoot down into tightly packed enemy formations, but the elephant itself is also a weapon: it can trample and gore men easily, hurling them around like rag dolls.

{carthaginian_onagers} オナガー

{carthaginian_onagers_descr}
焼夷弾を発射可能\n\nThe onager is a catapult jokingly named for the tremendous kick it has when fired at the enemy (an "onager" is a wild ass). This war machine is powered by a twisted spring of animal sinew ropes, the most elastic substance available. \n\nThe throwing arm is held in tension by the sinews. When pulled back and held by a catch it can fling a boulder with considerable speed and range. This version can be used for reducing stone fortifications, but it can also be used on the battlefield for destroying enemy artillery and harassing troops (although admittedly by killing some of them outright).\n\nThe onager can also be used to launch incendiary missiles such as firepots, making it a versatile piece of artillery to any commander.

{east_peasant} 農民

{east_peasant_descr}
穴を掘れる\n\nPeasants are reluctant warriors, but numbers are useful in all armies. Forcing peasants to fight is one way of getting lots of men in the field quickly and cheaply. They have little tactical sense, and even less willingness to fight - they would rather be defending their own homes than be dragged to a battle they neither care about nor understand. But if nothing else, they are useful when there's digging to be done! They are, however, experts at reading the land and hiding whenever there is cover.

They are skirmishers and not intended to hold a position in a battle line. Instead, their job is to harass and disrupt enemy units as well as screen the main force of the army. They are also adept - as their abilities would suggest - at staging tactical ambushes.\n\nPeltasts are equipped with a clutch of javelins, a sword and a light shield, the pelte, which gives them their name as 'pelte-bearers'. They wear no other armour, and rely on speed as the best form of protection.

Although only armed with spears and shields, they are a valuable addition to many forces. Their skills at reading ground allow them to hide where others cannot, and this makes them valuable to commanders with a penchant for tactical ambushes.\n\nThey are expert raiders and thieves (often taking sheep and goats from their lowland neighbours) and this is, unfortunately, something that makes them occasionally difficult to control. They do not see any need for military formalities!

They are drawn from among the peasantry and urban poor, given minimal training and sent into battle. They are, however, given large shields.\n\nIndividually, they are not outstanding warriors, but as a group they have their uses in holding off light cavalry; even medium and heavier troops will be unwilling to charge into a forest of spear points.

Their war gear includes long spears, chainmail and round shields.They can withstand attacks by most cavalry, and the training they have received allows them to form phalanx and carry an attack to an enemy infantry line. Against skirmishers and other missile troops, however, they require some support.\n\nThese men are recruited from the native population, not from among the Greek stratum of society that exists in all the Successor states, so they do not have the discipline of the 'hoplite ethos' in their training. They are still, however, worthwhile troops.

{east_hoplite} ファランクス兵

{east_hoplite_descr}
ファランクス陣形を組める\n穴を掘れる\n\nPhalanx pikemen, or phalangites, are well-drilled infantry who fight best as solid mass of men. They are armed with an enormously long pike, or sarissa, often 4-5m in length. This is the weapon that Alexander's armies used, and it has remained popular in all the Successor states that sprang up in his collapsed empire, even though most of the men recruited to fight as pikemen are neither Macedonian nor Greek by descent. It is popular because the first five ranks can present their pikes to the enemy creating a mobile forest of sharpened metal, while those further back hold them at a 45 degree angle to deflect enemy arrows.\n\nIn phalanx formation these men can advance in a 高い規律 mass and 'push' against an enemy line, often breaking through in the process as few enemies will stand in the face of so many spear points coming towards them! Indeed, from the front a phalanx can be almost invulnerable.

They are lightly armoured and carry a small shield, and each carries an enormously long pike, or sarissa. This 4-5m long spear allows up to five ranks of 銅盾兵 to bring their weapons to bear on the enemy, while those further back can protect the front ranks by angling their pikes to deflect missile fire. When deployed as a phalanx they are extremely formidable unless outflanked, attacked from the rear or subjected to intense missile fire. Their 優秀 discipline, training and espirit de corps makes them slow to tire on the battlefield as well.\n\nBronze shields are the successors to the hoplite warrior traditions of Greece and Macedonia; to carry a bronze shield means that you are worthy of honour and that your family has social standing.

Although armed and equipped in the manner of Roman legionaries, with iron-shafted throwing spears (pila), short swords, chainmail and large shields, these men are not of quite the same quality as the originals. Armenians are 精強 folk and do not tire easily. It is true, and they have accepted the iron discipline that legionary training requires, but the quality of that training is not quite up to Roman standards. They are good heavy infantry once seasoned, but poor training means they cannot use the famous tortoise (testudo) formation. That said, they can still give a nasty shock to any enemy - their fighting style of bombarding an enemy with pila and then closing for the kill is just as effective when performed by Armenians as it is when Romans do the job!

They do not wear armour, but do carry shields and swords so that they can fight in hand-to-hand combat should the need arise. They are, however, best used to dash in and harass a mass of enemies such as heavy infantry who cannot hope to catch them. They are not ideally suited to fighting other skirmishers - many of their javelins will be wasted against targets who can dodge, after all - but they can be very useful in harrying fleeing enemies and driving them from the field.

They are the ultimate in shock cavalry, an armoured battering ram to crash into an enemy position and sweep aside all who stand against them. They are armed with heavy lances for the initial charge and maces for use in close combat. They wear armour that is almost unmatched for weight and protection, and their horses are similarly armoured. On the move they are a wall of metal bearing down on enemies, tipped with razor-sharp spear points.\n\nTheir armour is their main strength, but it also means that these troops can be quite ponderous and slow moving. That said, sheer weight means that they can often break through (or ride over) an enemy line without too much trouble.

They are not as headstrong as other 精鋭 heavy cavalry and will not charge without orders - war is a serious business that has little room for vainglorious folly. They wear heavy chainmail and carry swords for use in close combat once the initial charge is over and momentum has been lost. While not in quite the same class as the super-heavy cataphracts from nearby Armenia, these men are a powerful force. They should not, however, be expected to charge into prepared spearmen.\n\nCappadocia is a region that is famed for its cavalry, and these men are rightly feared throughout Asia Minor.

They can trace their lineage back to the tribes of the steppes, and this tradition gives them fine skills with both the horse and the compound bow. They wear mail armour and carry swords so that they can defend themselves at need, or even carry the attack to lighter opponents, but they are primarily fine horse archers, able to ruin formations of solidly-packed enemies.\n\nA skilled commander will use these troops in cooperation with heavier cataphracts when he can, softening up an opponent with missiles before delivering an armoured punch, or beating an enemy down before driving them from the field with lighter pursuers.

They are not as armoured as cataphract lancers, yet most enemy missiles are turned aside quite easily. Mobility and speed have been sacrificed to provide protection. Their composite bows allow them to attack enemies at long range, but they also carry swords so that - if needs be - they can close up and fight hand-to-hand.\n\nThe weight of cataphract archers means that they are 'heavier' than most shock cavalry but this is not their primary purpose. Being able to fight in close combat should be seen as a bonus to their primary abilities.

カンタブリア円陣を組める\n\nHorse archers are a speciality of the East: swift horses and expert marksmen make a deadly combination. They are armed with a powerful bow and a dagger for defence, but they are not armoured and should not be expected to fight other than to escape. Horse archers rely on the maxim that 'speed is armour' to keep them out of trouble. Infantry have no hope of catching them, but other cavalry may be able to chase them down. Wise eastern commanders know this, and deploy horse archers with other cavalry to act as a deterrent to over-ambitious pursuit by an enemy.\n\nIf horse archers have a weakness it is that of all soldiers armed with composite bows: these weapons do not take well to damp or wet weather, as the glues used to construct them become weakened. While this is seldom a problem in their home provinces, it can be in wetter climes.

優秀\n精強\n楔型陣形を組める\n対騎兵ボーナス\n\nCataphract camels are well armoured - camel and rider both - shock cavalry. Their primary purpose is to charge into the enemy, using weight and speed to cause additional disruption. The riders carry lances for the initial charge and long maces to continue fighting once in hand-to-hand combat. Recruited from among desert dwelling peoples these soldiers rely on their heavy armour for protection, and their camels are equally well protected. This heavy armour also means that, while they are slow to get moving, they are almost unstoppable in a full charge.\n\nThey can be used against infantry like any other cataphracts, but their chief virtue is that the smell of the camels upsets horses, giving them an edge when fighting against cavalry.

優秀\n精強\n暴走の可能性\n歩兵を恐怖させる\n騎兵を恐怖させる\n\nWar elephants are fierce and terrible beasts, able to trample men and horses into the dirt. Over three metres tall at the shoulder, these are large and bad-tempered animals, and they have been known to run wild with fear and anger in battle. When this happens no one - friend or foe - is safe. For this reason the driver always carries a small mallet and a spike so that he can kill the animal if necessary by driving the spike into the base of the skull.\n\nThe crew are armed with bows to shoot down into tightly packed enemy formations, but the elephant itself is also a weapon: it can trample and gore men easily, hurling them around like rag dolls.

They are, however, somewhat uncontrollable: these units are not only so keen to attack the enemy that they will do so without orders, but also 暴走の可能性 and attack anyone - friend or foe alike - who happens to be nearby.

This war machine is powered by a twisted spring of animal sinew ropes, the most elastic substance available. \n\nThe throwing arm is held in tension by the sinews. When pulled back and held by a catch it can fling a boulder with considerable speed and range. This version can be used for reducing stone fortifications, but it can also be used on the battlefield for destroying enemy artillery and harassing troops (although admittedly by killing them outright). \n\nThe onager can also be used to launch incendiary missiles such as firepots, making it a versatile piece of artillery to any commander.

Like other peltasts, this unit is well suited to using ambush tactics.

{greek_hoplite} ホプリタイ

{greek_hoplite_descr}
精強\n穴を掘れる\nファランクス陣形を組める\n\nThe basis of nearly all military power in Greece once revolved around the hoplite. Operating in phalanxes, or tightly grouped blocks, these men are a powerful force against infantry or cavalry.\n\nHoplite tactics are simple: formations generally approach the opposing army in normal order, and then close ranks into the phalanx so that each soldier is protected by overlapping shields. Then it is simply a matter of closing with the enemy as quickly as possible to decide the battle. Well trained, these troops have great stamina, and are some of the most effective soldiers in the known world.\n\nHoplites generally supply their own equipment, so are not drawn from the poorer sections of society. They wear a hardened leather cuirass breastplate, and carry both a round shield (the hoplon) and a thrusting spear. This spear has a bronze butt-spike to plant in the ground (bronze is not prone to rusting like iron), which doubles as a weapon if the pike shaft breaks.

Each of them is equipped with good body armour, greaves and a helmet and carries a large round shield, the hoplon that gives this kind of soldier the name of hoplite. Each man is also armed with a formidable thrusting spear called the xyston and a sword. They are usually employed as solid, close-packed groups of men, presenting a wall of spear points to the enemy. In phalanx formation, they use weight of numbers to batter into enemy formations.\n\nThey are vulnerable to flank and rear attacks, and ideally need some sort of light supporting troops to screen them as they approach the enemy.

All of Spartan life is spent training for war. Weaklings perish soon after birth; youths are taught to thieve and terrorize the slave class to harden them; young men are taught nothing unless it has something to do with the arts of war - even music and dance are there only to help keep step when marching and obeying orders.\n\nThe result is a man who thinks nothing of danger, expects to win, and creates a sense of dread in his opponents.\n\nSpartans fight in the traditional fashion as hoplites, carrying a long thrusting spear and the large round hoplon shield, and as a phalanx: a close-packed mass of men moving as one to crush their enemies.\n\nIf they have a weakness it is that they are hide-bound traditionalists, and the once-mighty state of Sparta has not moved with the times.

Due to their lack of armour they are best used as defensive infantry, absorbing enemy attacks, or screening the flanks of the main line.\n\nEquipped with a long pike some 6m in length (the sarissa) many ranks can bring their weapons to bear on an enemy, presenting a bristling array of spearheads to an approaching foe. They also carry swords for use when the enemy breaks through the pike line.\n\nAlthough training is practically non-existent, as inheritors of the hoplite tradition levy pikemen can manoeuvre in a phalanx formation. But with no armour other than the small shields strapped to their left arms, under pressure these levied troops are liable to suffer heavy casualties.

In phalanx formation these troops can be used to pin the enemy line in place, while mobile forces wheel around the flanks to deliver a decisive blow. \n\nThe phalangites are drawn from families with decent resources, as these men need to provide leather cuirass armour and a metal helmet for protection. Phalanx pikemen carry a small shield strapped to the left arm, leaving both hands free to brandish a lengthy pike (the sarissa). Gripped in both hands above the head up to five ranks’ worth of pikes can be aimed at the enemy. Men in rows further back hold their pikes at a 45 degree angle, creating a shield to ward off enemy arrows. All phalanx pikemen also have short swords.

The tough royal pikemen carry the shorter hoplite thrusting spear, and are well protected with their large round ‘argive’-pattern shields as well as leather armour. Other units can draw confidence from the presence of these proud warriors, which makes them a bulwark of many a Macedonian battle line. When close-quarter fighting starts they also carry short swords like other pikemen.

They are 精鋭 foot soldiers on which many a battle will turn; they are well 高い規律 and physically fit, so these troops will neither panic nor tire easily.\n\nThese men use the 6m long pike (sarissa) and carry a small shield coated in silver that gives them their name. To carry the silver shield into battle is the realization of many a Seleucid boy’s dream, though only renowned men of higher birth would automatically qualify for such an honour.\n\nOnce in phalanx formation the silver shield pikemen are an almost immovable object unless attacked from the flanks. If the fighting becomes too intense and cramped, they can use their short swords.

Some scribes would have it that there are no fiercer men in battle, and they are a formidable resource for any Thracian commander: they are highly unlikely to break and run.\n\nEven their weapon of choice - the rhomphaia - is a cruel looking, curved blade sharpened on the inner edge, like a sickle. With one blow, this weapon is capable of severing an arm or leg. Each バスタラナエ warrior also carries a small shield, which other than his helmet is his only protection, not that this lack of armour worries these fearless fighters for a moment!\n\nOften tattooed and with blue-dyed hair, the only concern with such battle-hungry fighters is that they are liable to fling themselves into the fray at the earliest opportunity.

Although they have cavalry swords for close quarters fighting, a lack of armour means once the melee becomes protracted they are susceptible to enemy counterattacks: slugging it out with heavy forces is not sensible for these soldiers. Rather, these men should operate on the periphery of battles where they can ride down enemy skirmishers and missile troops. They can be thrown into to heart of the fighting if necessary, or when a weakened unit’s flank or rear can be attacked.

They do not wear armour, but do carry shields and swords so that they can fight in hand-to-hand combat should the need arise. They are, however, best used to dash in and harass a mass of enemies, such as heavy infantry who cannot hope to catch them. They are not ideally suited to fighting other skirmishers - many of their javelins will be wasted against targets who can dodge, after all - but they can be very useful in harrying fleeing enemies and driving them from the field.

As a result, they are best used as a hit-and-run force, rather than as soldiers who can indulge in hand-to-hand combat. That said, they are excellent for breaking up skirmishers, attacking lighter infantry such as missile troops and pursuing already broken enemies to prevent them rallying and rejoining a battle.

Armed with spears, these men are shock cavalry, able to deliver a devastating charge attack; they are then well trained enough to fight effectively in continued hand-to-hand combat.\n\nLike all general's guards, this unit is best committed to the fight at the point of crisis, when the general's inspirational leadership and the combat power of his men can tip the balance.

These spear-armed cavalry are an 精鋭 reserve for use in a moment of crisis.\n\nEvery warlord commands by right of personal courage as much as tactical skill, and must prove himself in battle. He and his guards are equipped as cavalry with spears, leather armour and shields so that they can dash to any point on the battlefield and fight. The warlord can inspire his men to greater efforts just by his presence, and also has enough men to be a significant force should the need arise.

精強\n暴走の可能性\n歩兵を恐怖させる\n騎兵を恐怖させる\n\nElephants are a terrifying spectacle to opposing troops, well able to smash battle lines and toss men aside like dogs with rats.\n\nStanding at just over two metres tall at the shoulder, these particular animals are rather tractable and can be trained for warfare relatively easily. They are fast moving, able to trample and gore enemies seemingly at will when being urged on by their riders. They are a living battering ram aimed at the enemy battle line. When pursuing enemies they can be even more deadly. \n\nEach elephant is unarmoured, but many blows simply glance off the tough hide. Only a single rider is carried.

Over three metres tall at the shoulder, these are large and bad-tempered animals, and they have been known to run wild with fear and anger in battle. When this happens no one - friend or foe - is safe. For this reason the driver always carries a small mallet and a spike so that he can kill the animal if necessary by driving the spike into the base of the skull.\n\nThe crew are armed with bows to shoot down into tightly packed enemy formations, but the elephant itself is also a weapon: it can trample and gore men easily, hurling them around like rag dolls.

{greek_onagers} オナガー

{greek_onagers_descr}
焼夷弾を発射可能\n\nThe onager is a catapult jokingly named for the tremendous kick it has when fired at the enemy (an "onager" is a wild ass). This war machine is powered by a twisted spring of animal sinew ropes, the most elastic substance available. \n\nThe throwing arm is held in tension by the sinews. When pulled back and held by a catch it can fling a boulder with considerable speed and range. This version can be used for reducing stone fortifications, but it can also be used on the battlefield for destroying enemy artillery and harassing troops (although admittedly by killing them outright). \n\nThe onager can also be used to launch incendiary missiles such as firepots, making it a versatile piece of artillery to any commander.

Metal blades stick out from each axle like malign horns to cut down infantry. They are, however, somewhat uncontrollable! These units are not only so keen to attack the enemy that they will do so without orders, but also 暴走の可能性 and attack anyone - friend or foe alike - who happens to be nearby. These are not subtle troops, and their chief power lies in a headlong charge into an enemy formation.\n\nEach chariot is pulled by powerful horses, and the crew is heavily armoured.

{roman_peasant} 農民

{roman_peasant_descr}
穴を掘れる\n\nPeasants are reluctant warriors, but numbers are useful in all armies. Forcing peasants to fight is one way of getting lots of men in the field quickly and cheaply. They have little tactical sense, and even less willingness to fight - they would rather be defending their own homes than be dragged to a battle they neither care about nor understand. If nothing else, they are useful when there's digging to be done! They are, however, experts at reading the land and hiding whenever there is cover.

{roman_archer} ローマ弓兵

{roman_archer_descr}
穴を掘れる\n\nRoman archers are supporting troops for heavier infantry, very much a secondary role in Roman warfare. They are missile troops almost exclusively, as their lack of armour and poor hand weapons mean that only a heartless or desperate commander would deliberately order them to fight in hand-to-hand combat. Archery is not really a significant part of the Roman way of warfare, but the need for some missile troops is obvious to Roman commanders, and hence these archers are recruited from among the peasant classes.

{roman_archer_auxillia} 補助軍弓兵

{roman_archer_auxillia_descr}
高い規律\n精強\n穴を掘れる\n\nArcher auxilia are supporting troops for the heavier legionary infantry, an important secondary role in Roman warfare. They are not expected to fight in hand-to-hand combat and are not given the war gear to do so for long; their job is to provide supporting fire and let the legionaries fight the main battle. Because the Roman army is standardised around its heavy infantry legionaries other types of troops are recruited as auxiliaries. Their training is very nearly as vigorous as that of the legionaries and discipline in auxilia units is certainly as harsh and uncompromising.\n\nHistorically, with the changes introduced by Gaius Marius professional auxiliaries were recruited to serve alongside the now-professional legionaries; a wholesale shake-up of the Roman military machine saw the whole army being put on a full time, service-for-life footing, with auxiliaries being rewarded with Roman citizenship at the end of their military careers.

森林に隠れる\n濃い草むらに隠れる\n穴を掘れる\n\nvelites are light skirmishing troops who screen the main battle line of an early-pattern Legion as it advances.\n\nThey are armed with javelins and a stabbing sword, and carry a small round shield but no other protection. It is their task to harass the enemy before the main combat begins.\n\nvelites are recruited from younger citizens, who lack the experience (or the money for their own gear) to fight as hastati or other heavy infantry.\n\nRoman velites become outdated after the Marius Reforms. Historically, Marius put the Roman army on a professional footing, and abandoned all property and age requirements in the process. Roman citizens would no longer go to war as-and-when as a civic duty; they would fight in future as full-time citizen-mercenaries in the Legions.

They also break up enemy formations with showers of javelins which have a longer range than the iron-shafted heavy pila carried by Roman legionaries. These auxilia do not wear armour and so cannot be expected to last long in hand-to-hand combat but they can fight if they must.

They are no substitute for fully trained Roman legionaries, but then they are not expected to be more than a citizen militia with an interest in keeping the peace (and possibly they might have some fire fighting duties). They do not have much equipment, as the most they are expected to do is stand behind their spears and shields, and then hold position when charged. By and large, this they manage to do.

{roman_hastati} ハスタティ

{roman_hastati_descr}
精強\n穴を掘れる\n\nHastati are among the younger men in an early Republican Legion, and form the front line in any battle. They are supposed to wear down an enemy and hold him before the next Roman battle line attacks and carries on the fight. They are, as a result, capable troops in their own right.\n\nThey are armed with two pila that are thrown at the enemy at close range before they close to fight hand-to-hand. They are equipped with a sword, a bronze helmet, a large shield and a breastplate. The pilum (plural, pila) is a cleverly designed spear with a soft iron shaft behind the point; it bends on impact so that it can’t be thrown back and if it’s stuck in someone or something it is a real hindrance to movement.\n\nHistorically, hastati spent their own money on their equipment and often couldn’t afford anything much better. This, along with the age and property requirements, was why they fought as hastati.

ハスタティ fight as the leading edge of a Legion, wearing the enemy down for the next wave of attackers.

{roman_triarii_descr}
精強\n高い規律\n穴を掘れる\n\nTriarii are tough heavy spearmen who make up the third and most senior part of a Roman Legion before the military Reforms of Gaius Marius. They carry a long "hoplite-style" spear (the hasta) which is used to thrust, a long shield and a gladius. They are the oldest veteran soldiers, and well armoured – hardly surprising, given that they are also drawn from the richest section of society. \n\nThe triarii are the last available line in early-pattern Republican Legions. "Going to the triarii" is a Roman saying meaning carrying on to the bitter end, and if they are used it’s a sign that the moment of decision in a battle has arrived. \n\nHistorically, triarii spent their own money on their equipment and could afford to buy the best of everything.

{roman_infantry_auxillia} 補助軍槍兵

{roman_infantry_auxillia_descr}
高い規律\n精強\n穴を掘れる\n\nAuxilia are highly 高い規律 and tough spearmen who provide support to Roman legionaries in battle. They are defensive infantry, expected to protect the flanks of the heavier legionaries from cavalry and similar threats; their training is at least as harsh as that of the legionaries and produces men with a similar level of discipline and hardiness. These troops need to keep up with other Roman forces, and so cannot be allowed to tire easily. They are recruited from among non-Romans within the Empire, and this is easy because Roman citizenship is far from being universal.\n\nHistorically, Roman commanders made sure that auxilia were always stationed far away from home so that there was no temptation to acts of rebellion. The changes introduced by Gaius Marius meant that professional auxiliaries were recruited to serve alongside the now-professional legionaries; a wholesale shake-up of the Roman military machine saw the whole army being put on a full time, service-for-life footing, with auxiliaries being rewarded with Roman citizenship at the end of their military careers.

高い規律\n精強\nテストゥードを組める\n穴を掘れる\n\nRoman legionaries are tough, professional troops with good armour and superb weapons. Their hallmarks are discipline, obedience and tactical flexibility. When approaching enemy fortifications, for example, they can use the turtle formation, or testudo, overlapping their shields for protection. \n\nEvery legionary’s chainmail armour, the lorica hamata, is of very good quality, as is the rest of his gear: a metal helmet and a large curved shield. They fight with two throwing spears (the pilum, plural pila) and a short stabbing sword, the gladius. Each pilum has a soft iron shaft behind the piercing head that is designed to bend as soon as it hits a target, making it impossible to pull out and throw back. Embedded in a shield a pilum hampers an enemy. Embedded in a man, it usually kills. Once the pila have been thrown, legionaries close and continue fighting with the stabbing gladius. \n\nHistorically, these legionaries only came to be after the army reforms of Gaius Marius. He abandoned property and age requirements for the legions, and made the Roman army into a professional force. No longer would a man have to provide his own war gear; he would be paid, serve a term of 25 years and then retire with enough land to give him a pension for the remainder of his days.

精鋭\n高い規律\n精強\nテストゥードを組める\n穴を掘れる\n\nA Praetorian cohort is made up of 精鋭 Legionaries, recruited because of their superb soldiering skills and political loyalties. A general can rely on this unit. Praetorian training is, as might be expected, both demanding and incredibly thorough. These men are some of the best, toughest, most unflinching soldiers in Rome, and they know it!\n\nTheir equipment is much the same as other legionaries, but better made. Every praetorian wears banded armour, the lorica segmenta, a metal helmet and carries a large curved shield. They fight with two heavy throwing spears (the pilum, plural pila) and a short stabbing sword, the gladius. Each pilum has a soft iron shaft behind the piercing head that is designed to bend as soon as it hits a target, making it impossible to pull out and throw back. Once the pila have been thrown, praetorians close and continue fighting with the stabbing gladius. They can also use the testudo, or tortoise, to protect themselves from missiles.\n\nHistorically, the original praetorians were the 'bravest of the brave' chosen to guard the praetorium - the tent of the legate of the legion when in the field. These men came to act as bodyguards for all important generals, before being made into specific formations that were considered useful in politics as well as war. It was Augustus who established the Praetorian Guard as both a bodyguard and for useful intimidation in Rome. It was under the later Emperors that the Praetorians developed a taste for conspiracy and murder.

These are heavy infantry who, when not performing garrison duties in the vital cities of the empire, fight as heavy infantry - the men who do the real work in a Roman army!\n\nTraining for any man in an urban cohort is demanding and produces incredibly tough men. The results are the best, toughest, most unflinching soldiers in the Roman world, men who will stop at little to achieve their goals. The urban cohorts are equipped with the same gear as legionaries - it is the men inside the uniform that make them effective - and wear banded armour, the lorica segmenta, metal helmets and carry large shields. They fight with two pila (singular, pilum), throwing spears with soft iron shafts that are designed to bend as soon as they hit making them impossible to fling back. They also carry short stabbing swords for close work.\n\nHistorically, the urban cohorts were a police force for Rome established by Augustus, and were commanded to keep order. Although outnumbered, they were a counterbalance of sorts to the power of the Praetorian Guards within the city. Life in the urban cohorts was better than in the 'line' legions, as pay and service conditions were better. Other urban cohorts were established in the larger cities of the Empire in later years, and the prefect in charge of the cohorts often became an important political figure.

Originally bred for hunting large prey, they are now trained to hunt and attack men. 戦猟犬 are usually unleashed on an enemy to break a line and unnerve opponents. Few men are able to stand steadily in the face of a snarling and partially-starved beast. The dogs are trained to bite and hold on, dragging down their human targets, and hamstringing horses.\n\nTheir handlers are brave, 精強 and not easily intimidated: many have fingers, hands or even chunks of limbs missing!

At the right moment, the pigs are ignited by their handlers and, not unnaturally, they run away in pain and terror - hopefully towards the enemy. Apart from goring anyone foolish enough to get in their way, the pigs are tremendously disruptive to formations.

Samnites would normally fight as one half of a matched pair, but on a battlefield they form a unit all of their own.\n\nThey are a specialised 精鋭, one that cares little for personal safety as the only way to attain any reward is through victory!

楔型陣形を組める\n\nEquites are light cavalrymen armed with spears. In the Roman system of war, they are intended to drive off skirmishers and pursue fleeing enemies. The word equites means 'horsemen', and they are recruited from among the well-off sections of society. They wear little armour and only carry spears and shields. As a result, they can charge enemies, but may be cut to pieces by a prepared defensive line of spearmen if these were attacked head on. Instead, they should be used against the flanks or rear of units, or to keep missile troops and skirmishers away from the main Roman heavy infantry (who are the real killers of a Roman army).\n\nHistorically, equites were drawn from the equestrian classes - literally the rich people who could afford to own horses - and they spent their own money on both horse and war gear.

They do not wear armour, but do carry shields and swords so that they can fight in their own defence should the need arise. They are, however, best used to harass a mass of enemy units such as heavy infantry. Such targets cannot hope to catch them!

They are tough, 高い規律 riders - a notable advantage compared to many cavalry units who are composed of headstrong and 衝動的 'nobility'. They are probably wasted when used to ride down skirmishers and missile troops, but they have the power to be able to smash heavier infantry formations apart, and severely disrupt other cavalry. They must, however, take care when attacking prepared spearmen, and should certainly avoid a frontal charge in this case whenever possible.\n\nThey wear good armour and carry shields; their weapons are the spear (lancea) and long sword (spatha), both of which are deadly in the hands of an expert.\n\nHistorically, Rome's best cavalry forces were organised into wings (or alae, singular ala) rather than cohorts, and recruited from among horse-culture minorities within Rome's borders. Generally, this meant that cavalry were predominantly non-Italian, the opposite of the legionaries' composition. Romans had developed the art of fighting as infantry, and relied on others to provide what they considered to be the supporting arms such as cavalry.

{roman_ballista} バリスタ

{roman_ballista_descr}
精強（砲手）\n\nA Ballista is a sinew-powered weapon that looks like an enormous crossbow. It has tremendous range and can skewer files of men with a single bolt!\n\nWhile a Ballista might look like a huge crossbow, its working principles are rather different. The two arms are pushed through ropes made of tough animal sinew. This naturally elastic material is then twisted, and becomes a hugely powerful spring, pulling each arm forwards. The arms are pulled back, creating even more tension, the Ballista is loaded with a missile, and then this is shot at the enemy with considerable force.\n\nProviding care is taken to make sure that the two sinew bundles are under the same tension, the Ballista is a very accurate weapon, but because sinew is sensitive to damp a Ballista does not work well in wet weather.

{roman_onager} オナガー

{roman_onager_descr}
精強（砲手）\n焼夷弾を発射可能\n\nThe onager is a catapult jokingly named for the tremendous kick it has when fired at the enemy (an "onager" is a wild ass). This war machine is powered by a twisted spring of animal sinew ropes, the most elastic substance available. \n\nThe throwing arm is held in tension by the sinews. When pulled back and held by a catch it can fling a boulder with considerable speed and range. This version can be used for reducing stone fortifications, but it can also be used on the battlefield for destroying enemy artillery and harassing troops (although admittedly by killing some of them outright).\n\nThe onager can also be used to launch incendiary missiles such as firepots, making it a versatile piece of artillery to any commander.

{roman_repeating_ballistae} 速射バリスタ

{roman_repeating_ballistae_descr}
精強（砲手）\n\nThe repeating ballista is a semi-automatic artillery weapon. As long as it is loaded with bolts and cranked it will keep firing. The basic design is similar to a ballista: twisted animal sinew ropes provide the power. There is an ingenious winding mechanism that draws back the arms, drops a bolt into place and then releases a catch - and all this happens repeatedly as long as a windlass is turned.\n\nThis makes it a perfect weapon for creating a 'beaten zone' or targeting large enemy formations, when speed of fire is more important than pinpoint accuracy.

精鋭\n精強\n友軍を鼓舞する\n\nA barbarian warlord surrounds himself with fierce warriors as a personal guard. These spear-armed cavalry are an 精鋭 reserve for use in a moment of crisis.\n\nEvery warlord commands by right of personal courage as much as tactical skill, and this is doubly true of a rebel who has gone against the established order of his tribe and people. He and his guards are equipped as cavalry with spears, leather armour and shields so that they can dash to any point on the battlefield. The warlord can inspire his men to greater efforts just by his presence, and also has enough men in his guard to be a significant force.

精鋭\n衝動的\n精強\n森林に隠れる\n\nThese are fanatical and dangerous warriors who will gladly sacrifice themselves in battle if this brings victory and freedom closer. Long downtrodden by a succession of conquerors, the people of Judea have substituted courage for war gear when in battle. Although poorly armed as spearmen, these men will sacrifice themselves.\n\nTheir ranks are swelled by deserters from many armies as well as by the professional warriors of the temple guard, but they are often chaotically organised into many separate groups, sects, fronts, movements, factions and so on. Their loyalty may be to Judea, but each group is its own 'one true' resistance movement, or peoples' front, or popular front.

{merc_peltast} 傭兵散兵

{merc_peltast_descr}
森林に隠れる\n濃い草むらに隠れる\n穴を掘れる\n\nMercenary peltasts are lightly equipped, fast-moving skirmishers who wear down enemies with a hail of accurately thrown javelins. \n\nTheir strength lies in their ability to move through broken or rough terrain, and to stay away from enemies. They also carry straight swords and small shields (the pelte that gives them their title). \n\nAs a result, they can fight quite effectively against other units of skirmishers but are vulnerable if caught in the open by cavalry. They are, however, perfect for use in tactical ambushes, attacking careless enemies who have not spotted them.

{merc_peltast_descr_short}
Mercenary peltasts are efficient skirmishers who can defeat other light troops in close combat, but are vulnerable to cavalry attacks.

{merc_illyrian} イリュリア人傭兵

{merc_illyrian_descr}
衝動的\n森林に隠れる\n\nIllyrian mercenaries are aggressive barbarian skirmishers accustomed to operating in rough terrain who are liable to attack without orders. They come from the tribes in the western Balkans. These troops are unruly skirmishers equipped with javelins and large shields, as well as short swords for close combat.\n\nThe Illyrian tribes are experienced land and sea raiders, and their chief joy is the prospect of plunder! One of the more famed Illyrian kings, Bardylis, built his success and reputation on the basis of his equitable distribution of the spoils after each successful battle. This expectation of loot contributes to their occasional over-enthusiasm to get into a fight.\n\nThese troops are effective ambushers, and they have good prospects of defeating most other skirmishers in combat.

{merc_samnite} サムニウム人傭兵

穴を掘れる\n\nSamnite mercenaries are relatively dependable light infantry but should not be expected to hold crucial sections of a battle line. They are not capable of standing up to professional heavy infantry, but their spears, bronze breastplates and large shields make them suited to fighting against light and medium cavalry.\n\nThe Samnites come from the Apennine highlands of central and southern Italy. Having lost the battle for regional supremacy to the Romans, they often served in the invading armies of Rome's enemies.

¬----------------

{merc_thracian} トラキア人傭兵

{merc_thracian_descr}
衝動的\n森林に隠れる\n\nThracian mercenaries are fearsome barbarian warriors, experts with the rhomphaia, a deadly bladed weapon that can cleave enemy infantry. These troops fight in loose formations, as they need space to wield their weapons to full advantage. They are best employed to cut into tightly packed enemy units, but can also give a good account of themselves against light cavalry.\n \nThe rhomphaia itself is a frightening weapon, used either one or two-handed. It comprises a curved, poleaxe weapon, and as the blade is sharpened along the inner edge, the damage on the blow is done with a pulling motion. When used properly, a rhomphaia can easily hack off limbs or decapitate an enemy.\n\nThracians are renowned for their love of battle, and victorious warriors often return to camp singing songs and displaying severed heads impaled on their rhomphaias. This love of a good fight also encourages them to attack from time to time without orders. A Greek writer once said that they could conquer the world - if they ever stop fighting each other for long enough!

Thracian barbarians are best used to hack through enemy infantry. They are not subtle warriors!

¬----------------

{merc_bastarnae} バスタラナエ人傭兵

{merc_bastarnae_descr}
優秀\n衝動的\n森林に隠れる\n\nThe バスタラナエ are a particularly ferocious tribe from the northern Balkans who rejoice in man-to-man combat. Some scribes would have it that there are no fiercer men in battle, and they are a formidable resource for any commander: they are highly unlikely to break and run.\n\nEven their weapon of choice - the rhomphaia - is a cruel looking, curved blade sharpened on the inner edge, like a sickle. With one blow, this weapon is capable of severing an arm or leg. Each バスタラナエ warrior also carries a small shield, which other than his helmet is his only protection, not that this lack of armour worries these fearless fighters for a moment!\n\nOften tattooed and with blue-dyed hair, the only concern with such battle-hungry fighters is that they are liable to fling themselves into the fray at the earliest opportunity.

{merc_sarmatian_cavalry} サマルタイ人傭兵

{merc_sarmatian_cavalry_descr}
優秀\n衝動的\n楔型陣形を組める\n\nSarmatian mercenaries are heavy cavalry from the tribes of the steppes. They are superb warriors, heavily armoured and well equipped, and an almost unstoppable force when at full charge.\n\nThey wear chainmail tunics that hang down to their knees, reinforced with scales of animal horn. Each Sarmatian cavalryman carries a two-handed lance (called a kontos), and this is used during a full charge into melee. If the enemy doesn’t break each man also carries a sword, but no shield. As with many ‘精鋭s’, they are not averse to charging worthy enemies without orders. \n\nThe Sarmatians are almost notorious for their widespread banditry, and many serve as mercenaries. Historically, thousands were sent to Britannia under the Emperors where many settled after garrison duty.

{merc_horse_archers} スキタイ人傭兵

{merc_horse_archers_descr}
精強\nカンタブリア円陣を組める\n\nScythian mercenaries are superb horse archers, well able to inflict losses as they harass enemies.\n\nHorse-archery is the defining characteristic of warfare on the wide-open steppes, and these mercenaries are extremely accomplished horsemen and archers\n\nTheir tactics are often to circle the enemy, thickening the air with arrows until they are sufficiently weakened for heavier troops to launch a full assault. Their good horsemanship means catching them with a counter-charge is difficult, even with light cavalry, and they possess enormous stamina, hardened by crossing vast distances on the plains of their homelands.\n\nThe Scythians are not the most refined of races, covering their quivers with human skin, and not washing themselves for months. In camp, they are usually best well away from more 'civilised' units!

¬----------------

{merc_spanish_infantry} スペイン人傭兵

{merc_spanish_infantry_descr}
穴を掘れる\n\nThese Spanish mercenaries are well-equipped light infantry, sometimes referred to as scutarii by the Romans because of their large oval shields (the Latin for shield being ‘scutum’). Armed with heavy javelins as well as swords, they fight by bombarding the enemy and then closing to fight hand to hand, in a similar way to Roman legionaries.\n\nCenturies of feuding among the Spanish hill tribes have hardened the people so there is no shortage of tough, brave warriors.\n\nHistorically, the design of the later Roman legionary sword (or gladius) was influenced by the blades carried by these men. The design was adopted after Roman armies had faced large formations of scutarii during the First Punic War.

{merc_spanish_infantry_descr_short}
Spanish mercenaries are general purpose light infantry, although they can skirmish if necessary.

¬----------------

{merc_eastern_infantry} 東方傭兵

{merc_eastern_infantry_descr}
穴を掘れる\n\nThese mercenaries are spearmen, though their lack of armour and training means they can't match most professional infantry. They carry a 2m long spear and a large shield.\n\nMany of these mercenaries would once have been peasants or urban poor recruited into the standing army of an Eastern kingdom; with no homes to return to, they have taken to a life of soldiering.\n\nWhile they may be numerous, they are often not well paid by their captains, and their motivation can be a little bit suspect. Individually they are not skilled fighters, but as a group they can be used to hold a line against lighter cavalry and lower-quality infantry.

{merc_eastern_infantry_descr_short}
Spearmen provide effective defence against cavalry, but are vulnerable to missiles because of their close-packed ranks.

優秀\n精強\n穴を掘れる\n\nThese 優秀 mercenaries from the island of Rhodes are famed for their ability as slingers. They can maintain a sustained and concentrated barrage on an enemy before rapidly falling back to avoid hand-to-hand combat.\n \nRhodian slingers carry a shoulder bag with lead shot and several spare slings suitable for various ranges (a shot typically weighs no more than 55g - a couple of ounces). Trained from infancy, these missile troops also include men drawn from the hilly areas of mainland Greece.\n\nThey carry only a small shield for protection, and are best kept out of hand-to-hand combat. They are, however, highly mobile and don’t tire easily.

{merc_cretan_archers_descr}
優秀\n精強\n穴を掘れる\n\nThe archers of Crete are famed for their abilities. They can rain arrows on their opponents, not just bombard them!\n\nThese men can be used to soften up a battle line before the main fight is joined, or be placed behind a line of defensive troops such as spearmen. If left unprotected they are vulnerable to attacks by cavalry and light skirmishers, as they have little chance of lasting for long in hand-to-hand combat.\n\nHistorically, the term ‘Cretan’ came to represent a fighting style rather than an area of origin, so many of these mercenaries are from elsewhere in the Greek world. Those originally from Crete are highly valued in cities and towns on the mainland as archery instructors.

{merc_greek_hoplites} ホプリタイ傭兵

{merc_greek_hoplites_descr}
精強\nファランクス陣形を組める\n穴を掘れる\n\nHoplites are spearmen that are most effective in the formidable, if slightly inflexible, phalanx formation: a tight block of men presenting many spear points to the enemy. Operating in such a fashion, these units are a powerful force against infantry or cavalry. Hoplite tactics are simple: a unit generally approaches in normal order, and then closes up into a phalanx so that each soldier is protected by the overlapping shield of his neighbour. It is simply a matter of closing with the enemy as quickly as possible to decide the battle. \n\nThe basis of military power in ancient Greece was the hoplite and his willingness to fight alongside his fellow citizens, but now these troops are some of the most effective mercenaries in the known world. ホプリタイ wear a hardened leather cuirass breastplate, and carry both a round shield (the hoplon) and a thrusting spear. This spear has a bronze butt-spike to plant in the ground (bronze, unlike iron, does not rust), which doubles as a weapon if the spear shaft breaks.

{merc_libyan_infantry} リビア人傭兵

{merc_libyan_infantry_descr}
濃い草むらに隠れる\n森林に隠れる\n\nLibyan mercenaries are skirmishers. They work well in rough terrain but are vulnerable if caught in the open by cavalry. These mercenaries are used to break up enemy units with a shower of javelins - a traditional weapon in Libya - as the battle lines close on each other. They cannot be expected to fight well in a melee. They are generally similar to the peltasts of other nations: light infantry who carry javelins, swords and small shields (usually fashioned from hardened ostrich hide). Other than a leather cap they wear no armour. \n\nThey are mobile enough to stay out of trouble but are, as is so often the case with skirmishers, vulnerable when caught on open ground. They are best used in broken and wooded terrain, where they can hide and ambush enemy formations before the main battle is joined.

{merc_numidian_cavalry} ヌミディア人傭兵

{merc_numidian_cavalry_descr}
優秀\n精強\nカンタブリア円陣を組める\n\nNumidian cavalry are superb mounted skirmishers who weaken the enemy with javelins. Numidia produces the finest cavalry in all Africa, if not the Western Mediterranean world. Armed with javelins, these mercenaries can be a nightmare for an opponent as it can prove practically impossible to pin them down in combat!\n\nTheir tactics are to pelt the enemy with deadly volleys of javelins, and then swiftly retreat. If the enemy stand, they are slaughtered with volleys of javelins. If they run, the Numidian cavalry can ride them down!\n\nInstinctive riders, the Numidians are famed for not using a saddle or reins, using only a stick to direct their horses. Nevertheless, they manoeuvre with 'the grace of a flock of birds'. Having adapted to the broken expanses of their homelands, Numidian cavalry also have great stamina.

{merc_arab_cavalry_descr}
精強\n楔型陣形を組める\n\nBands of desert cavalrymen are often drawn towards the Mediterranean world to offer their services to the highest bidder as tough light cavalry who are at home in hot, dry conditions. They make excellent scouts, and can sweep down on a broken foe or an exposed unit of skirmishers, but their lack of formal military training means they are at a disadvantage in a serious fight.\n\nArmed with scimitar-style swords and equipped with shields made from woven reeds, they wear no armour due to the heat of the desert sun. Instead, they cover themselves with traditional robes, which are also protection against roaring sandstorms.

Trained from infancy, these missile troops carry only a small shield for protection, and are best kept out of hand-to-hand combat. They are, however, highly mobile and don’t tire easily.\n\nHistorically, バレアレスmercenaries didn't always get paid in gold for their services.

衝動的\n森林に隠れる\n\nThe men of a spear warband are effective against cavalry and most infantry, but lack the discipline of more 'civilized' troops. Their spears, however, make them valuable defensive warriors for any commander, and in common with other barbarians they are expert at using cover to hide.\n\nThe warband is the basic unit of any barbarian army. These particular warriors have given their loyalty to a strong leader rather than their tribe. Each warrior is protected by a combination of a large shield and clothing made from furs and leather.

衝動的\n楔型陣形を組める\n\nMercenary barbarian cavalry ride sturdy and sure-footed horses, and are excellent light cavalry, useful as scouts and to pursue fleeing enemies. They are drawn from the 精鋭 of their tribe and, even though they are now mercenaries, fight bravely to justify their status. This can lead them to be headstrong, and difficult to restrain before a fight, as personal glory gained in battle is always welcome. Their war gear of spears and shields is the very finest that can be provided.\n\nThey are best used to break weakened enemy formations, fight against other cavalry and pursue fleeing enemies. While they are brave men and superb horsemen, they lack the cohesion of more 'civilized' cavalry, and may not be as effective in a hand-to-hand fight. Shock and initial impact are their main weapons.

They are used to break enemy lines and simply intimidate enemies into running away.\n\nEach elephant carries a tower with two archers, but they can also gore and trample opponents. The catch with elephants is that they can panic when injured and run amok. In this case, anyone who gets in the way is in danger, regardless of whether or not they are friend or foe. Elephant drivers have been known to carry chisels and mallets so that they can kill panicked animals with a blow to the base of the skull before the beasts can cause too much chaos.

This has been added for a code fix. Do not re-translate. Please speak to Luci\n\nA quinquireme is a powerful, but lumbering, warship intended for fleet actions. Its mass makes it hard to sink.\n\nThe bulk of the crew are rowers as there are five men to each oar; this pulling power is good, but maintaining ramming or battle speed is very tiring for the men. Consequently, quinquiremes also carry a detachment of marines and some shipboard artillery as means of attack - when you can't be sure of ramming an opponent, bombardment or boarding become the most effective tactics.

The style of the velite is one that uses only a spear and shield combination, relying on natural agility to avoid injury and death.\n\nGladiators are used in battle as a specialised 精鋭, one that cares little for personal safety - the only way to attain freedom is through victory! Gladiators, after all, are part of the damnati: the disgraced, the condemned, and the untouchables in society. There is nowhere else for them to go.

精強\nカンタブリア円陣を組める\n騎兵を恐怖させる\n\nThese mercenaries are light camel archers from the nomadic tribes of Arabia. They are rugged men used to harsh conditions and neither they nor their camel steeds tire quickly. With their excellent mobility they can shower an enemy with arrows and retreat from the first signs of trouble. In addition, cavalry are unlikely to be successful when sent in pursuit because the strange - and strong - smell of camels is deeply unsettling for horses.\n\nThese men are masters of the bow, but then life in the desert is harsh and those who do not master survival skills are unlikely to live for long. Although they have defensive weaponry, they should not be sent into a melee unless the situation is dire and nothing else can be done.

精鋭\n衝動的\n歩兵を恐怖させる\nカンタブリア円陣を組める\n\nLight chariots are very fast, very noisy and, when used in large numbers, quite intimidating. They combine the swiftness of cavalry with the 'staying power' of infantry. The drivers concentrate on controlling the chariots, while their passengers fire arrow after arrow into the target. They can also simply charge into an enemy, perform the same scouting duties as cavalry, harass enemies with missiles and may even be worth sacrificing to break a previously unyielding enemy line. They can also be very effective in pursuing fleeing foes.

{roman_principes} プリンキペス

{roman_principes_descr}
高い規律\n精強\n穴を掘れる\n\nPrincipes are older, more reliable soldiers who have seen some service. It is their task to be the second line of a legion and carry on the fight once the hastati are spent. They are supposed to carry on the 'wearing down' fight and exhaust the enemy. They are, as a result, capable soldiers and unafraid of combat.\n\nThey are armed with two pila that are thrown at the enemy at close range before they close to fight hand-to-hand. They are each equipped with a sword, a bronze helmet, a large shield and chain armour. The pilum (plural, pila) is a cleverly designed spear with a soft iron shaft behind the point; it bends on impact so that it can’t be thrown back and if it’s stuck in someone or something it is a real hindrance to movement - always assuming whoever it's stuck in isn't dead!\n\nHistorically, principes spent their own money on their equipment and, being older, were in a position to buy better gear than the young hastati. This, along with the age and property requirements, was why they fought as principes.

森林に隠れる\n濃い草むらに隠れる\n穴を掘れる\n\nEgyptian skirmishers rush forward to pepper an enemy with javelins, and then withdraw in good order before a counter-attack can be organised. It is their task to harass and disrupt enemy units as well as screen the main force of the army. They are also adept at staging tactical ambushes.\n\nSkirmishers are equipped with a clutch of javelins, a sword and a light shield. They wear no other armour, and rely on speed as the best form of protection. This doesn't work when facing cavalry!\n\nOddly, many Egyptian skirmishers aren't Egyptians at all, but are recruited from among foreign communities. When they can be found, Egyptian generals favour using Thracians for this role as they are particularly bloodthirsty and known to take the heads of fallen enemies as trophies.

They try to weaken less mobile enemy formations by showering them with harpoons before closing to finish the job with their hand axes.\n\nThe eastern Mediterranean is often a stamping ground for buccaneers and pirates, most notorious among them the Cilicians from the south-eastern coast of Asia Minor. Used to a lawless, brutal life as marines aboard ship, these troops are a merciless force, prepared to give and receive no quarter and not always keen to obey orders.\n\nAlthough there is a lucrative career to be had capturing ships' crews to sell as slaves, many Cilicians seek employment in foreign armies. Their lust for loot and others’ lives makes them inclined to attack first and think later.

{carthaginian_infantry_descr}
穴を掘れる\n\nIberian infantry are fast moving close combat infantry. They may not be the best trained troops, but they are cost effective warriors. They are one of the basic units available to generals in the Carthaginian-influenced world. Every Iberian infantryman carries a shield in addition to his short sword, but his only other protection is a helmet; he relies on speed and agility instead of armour. They are best employed against enemy spearmen and, like other infantry, can be vulnerable to cavalry attacks.

These infantry are the steady backbone of the armies of Carthage and Spain. Reliable, well-armed and tough, they are armed with falcatas to cut a path into an enemy line.

{scutarii} スクタリ

{scutarii_descr}
衝動的\n森林に隠れる\n\nScutarii are well-equipped light infantry armed with swords, shields and heavy javelins.They are called by the Romans because of their distinctive, large, oval shields (the Latin for shield being ‘scutum’). They fight with heavy javelins and swords, peppering the enemy with missiles before closing up for hand-to-hand combat. Centuries of feuding among the hill tribes have hardened the people so there is no shortage of tough and cunning warriors - they are quite handy when springing tactical ambushes on enemy units.\n\nHistorically, the design of the later Roman legionary sword (or gladius) was influenced by the blades carried by these men. The design was adopted after Roman armies had faced large formations of scutarii during the First Punic War.

They fight best as spearmen, and are armed with long spears and each carries the large round hoplon shield which gives them their name. As a type of infantry hoplites have been around for centuries and have changed little in tactics or equipment. These men wear no armour, but then they are drawn from the poorer classes and it is traditional for citizens to provide their own war gear when called into the army. The cities of the Greek world have a long tradition of the people defending their own cities from invaders.\n\nThey are at their best when used as a solid block of spearmen and can form a phalanx to attack the enemy.

They are best employed against light cavalry and horse archers, if only because of the effects that camels have on horses unused to their distinct aroma. Their speed also makes them useful against skirmishers and foot missile troops.\n\nThey carry swords and shields, but do not bother with armour - hardly surprising given that the desert conditions of their homelands make wearing armour foolish indeed - unless the prospect of broiling to death is appealing!

They wear light padded armour - hardly surprising given the incredibly hot climate of home - and carry large shields. They do not carry secondary weapons at all, and rely entirely on their spears in combat. This means that they are best employed to hold a defensive position against cavalry, or as a rough phalanx to take on other infantry by 'push of pike' and weight of numbers.\n\nThese men are better trained than some other Egyptian forces, such as Nubian spearmen, and will hold more often as a result.

Egyptian armies have a long and distinguished history of using chariots in warfare. Their charioteers are also more 高い規律 and controlled than those of other nations.

It can ram opposing ships and launch boarding actions.\n\nOriginally a Greek design, it has been widely copied because of its good qualities. Skilled oarsmen are needed, but then this gives the ship tremendous power in a 'sprint' at ramming speed. As might be expected, the trireme is its own main weapon, as it carries an iron-tipped ram on the bow at the waterline. Once an enemy ship has been rammed or had its oars smashed, the crew back water to withdraw before seeking another target.

Its sheer size makes it hard to sink.\n\nThe bulk of the crew are rowers as there are five men to each oar; this pulling power is good, but maintaining ramming or battle speed is very tiring.\n\nThe corvus was developed by Rome during the first Punic War as a means of turning sea battles into land battles, and allowing its 優秀 infantry to become decisive. It is an iron 'beak' on a hinged walkway that is designed to smash down into enemy decking doing two jobs in one: making a bridge for the marines to cross, and locking the two ships together so that the battle has to be fought on the quinquireme captain's terms.

In size, number of men and fighting potential it dwarfs all other vessels. A deceres is among the largest ships afloat, and is crewed by anything up to 850 men - most, of course, being rowers.\n\nIts combat power is formidable. Apart from a couple of fighting towers, a deceres also carries onagers and ballistae to bombard enemies, plus a large contingent of marines for boarding and defence. At least one ballista will also be set up to fire a harpoon-like grappling hook (called a harpago) at enemy vessels so that they can be dragged alongside and destroyed.\n\nAs a tactic the harpago has much to recommend it over, say, the grappling 'corvus' of smaller ships, because it allows enemies to be snagged at greater range.

A bireme combines power and good handling in a vessel that does not need to large a crew. \n\nPirates sail from every remote cove, every lawless harbour and every independent city (and a few cities that are supposedly law-abiding) along the Mediterranean coast. They are like flies - always present when there are rich pickings, and only temporarily driven off by the wave of an imperial hand. Kill one fly, and more come in its place.\n\nAs well as menacing trade, pirates can sometimes gather in sufficient strength to threaten even the great naval powers.

楔型陣形を組める\n\nRoman cavalry are auxiliary spear-armed cavalry who have a screening role in a Roman army. They should be used against the flanks or rear of units, or to keep missile troops and skirmishers away from the main Roman heavy infantry (who are the real killers of a Roman army).\n\nThey wear little armour and only carry spears and shields. As a result, they can charge enemies, but may be cut to pieces by a prepared defensive line of spearmen if these were attacked head on.\n\nHistorically, Roman cavalry only came into existence after the army reforms of Gaius Marius as a replacement force for the equites. The property qualifications for fighting as cavalry in the army were abandoned and the army made professional. They were organised into 'wings' called alae rather than cohorts.

{warband_dhaxe_german} 精鋭斧兵

{warband_dhaxe_german_descr}
精鋭\n衝動的\n精強\n森に隠れる\n\nDouble-handed axes are intimidating weapons, especially in the hands of chosen axemen. These men can hack a hole in almost any enemy battle line. 精鋭axemen are an 精鋭 among tribal warriors, selected for their physical size, strength, bravery and - some would say - pig-headedness. They are the assault troops of any barbarian army, the men whose only job is to smash any organised resistance and keep on killing until no foes remain. Fear is completely alien to them, as is any concept of mercy to a foe or a weakling among their own kind. They are fantastically strong men - and need to be to wield their enormous two-handed axes with any degree of skill and control.\n\nThe axes are easily capable of cleaving a man down to his breastbone even through armour. 精鋭axemen themselves disdain armour as a sign of cowardice.

{carthaginian_heavy_onagers} 重オナガー

{carthaginian_heavy_onagers_descr}
焼夷弾を発射可能\n\nThe heavy onager is an enormous catapult built using the same basic design as its sibling and capable of smashing down stone fortifications. It is powered by a twisted bundle of animal sinew ropes, and is slow to wind back and reload. Its missiles are devastating, and it can also fire incendiary firepots.\n\nRange is no more than the smaller onager and this makes the heavy onager susceptible to counter fire. Often, it is best employed alongside smaller artillery to deal with enemy fire.

{carthaginian_heavy_onagers_descr_short}
The heavy onager is a siege engine capable of reducing even stone ramparts to rubble, but can be vulnerable to enemy catapults.

{amazon_chariots} アマゾン戦車

{amazon_chariots_descr}
精鋭\n歩兵を恐怖させる\nカンタブリア円陣を組める\n\nLegendary warriors from the land beyond the north wind, these cruel and beautiful women are dangerous indeed to all who oppose them in battle. Many warriors misjudge their alluring appearance, a mistake that few ever live long enough to regret! The thundering sound of their chariots is often enough to un-man even the strongest enemies.\n\nRiding chariots into battle, the Amazon way of warfare relies on using their composite bows to pepper enemies at a distance, before closing to hack enemies to pieces. In either case, they are well protected by the speed of their chariots and by the high quality armour that they wear.
