In battle, their cavalry benefit from natural Gallic horsemanship, while the charisma and fighting prowess of their kings and chieftains make them formidable warriors, and earns them diplomatic respect amongst other barbarian tribes. Noted craftsmen, the Arverni enjoy improved income from their artisans, as well as profiting from the Gauls’ expertise with gold-working. Maybe their destiny lies across the sea to Britannia, with all the Celtic tribes united under a single king? Or to the south, to finally put paid to the growing threat from Rome? Seemingly unstoppable en masse, Gallic tribes sacked Rome in 390 BCE and terrorised much of the Aegean as recently as 279 BCE, invading Thrace, Macedon and Illyria. Blending animism with a pantheon of greater, local and lesser household gods, the Celtic religion is one of the key factors uniting the disparate Gallic tribes. While many matters ostensibly fall to the Arverni's kings and chieftains, in reality, much is governed by the will of the druids, including declarations of war or peace. It is by fighting this way that leaders have earned their places: as champions, proving themselves in conflict. Heavily dependent on infantry, the Arverni make great use of javelins and the devastating impact of the charge, led by elite warriors such as Spear Nobles and Oathsworn. Prestige and power come from a man's abilities as a warrior and a leader as much as his lineage. Ruled by kings and tribal chieftains, but deferent to their druids, there exists a rigid social order amongst the Arverni. Far more than mere barbarian looters and raiders, they have a complex and sophisticated culture centred at Nemossos, their stronghold near the Gergovia plateau. The adventurous Greeks of Miletus, in Asia Minor, formed several colonies around the Black Sea coast during the 6th and 7th centuries BCE in order to exploit its resources for trade with the wider Greek world. If you have further detailed information on the faction, such as strategies, AARs, pictures, or history, please post it on the Faction Details page in a new sub-section so that this page can be kept clean of opinionated information.Descended from a long line of Celts, the warlike Arverni are one of the most powerful tribes of central Gaul. The Cimmerian Bosporus has been fought over for its resources and strategic importance for millennia. They are the third strongest spear unit in the game, after the Carthaginian Sacred Band and the Spartans. A string of tyrannical leaders dominate that history, defending Syracusan sovereignty against fellow Greeks, Carthaginians and threats from within through a series of treacherous and gruelling wars. High recruitment cost and upkeep cost but make up for it somewhat with 2 hitpoints and good attack capabilities.Īrmoured Hoplites: Armoured hoplites are an elite among Greek soldiery, carefully selected and given the best training to make them superior spearmen. Syracuse is no stranger to war, fiercely championing its independence throughout its long, bloody history. They can be trained only in the cities of Sparta and Syracuse. They are 'perfect soldiers' and nothing else. Spartan Hoplites: Spartan hoplites are trained from infancy to be nothing but soldiers. Their cavalry is their weakness it is the worst in the game and the only good choice is the Generals Armoured Bodyguard. Their archers are average, though strong mercenaries are available locally. The most notable and strong Phalanx units are the very tough Armoured Hoplites and the Legendary Spartans. Their strengths are very strong phalanx units that can crush infantry and cavalry alike and are also available early in the game. The Greeks are an infantry focused faction.
