Spearman design[edit | edit source]

  • Spear levy: No armour
    • Mycenaeans are clothed. Either with sleeved tunics, or simple "potato sacks". Give them simple leather helmets.
  • Spearmen: A crude linothorax or clothes. Ie for instance, for Egyptian and Semitic armies there is use of linen or leather.
  • Medium spearmen: Fully clothed. Wears either a scale waistcoat, or a kardiophylax. We will need the Spanish to reach this point.
    • Semites: Leather aspis for Semites
    • Aegean: Crude hide aspis for Greeks (read: Trojans)
    • Asian: Only Zhou dynasty should obtain this level of development.
    • Egypt: Padded armour. Only Egypt should obtain this level of development
    • Indo-European: Only Phrygians should obtain this level of development. Celts get Arjos. Leather armour and helmets and ... pajamas.
  • Heavy spearmen - just recycle the old RoK spearman for Assyria. Carries a heavy pavise.
