The new version, Iberia Total War Gold, will fill the 20 RTW factions with 6 new Iberian factions. I will present them in this thread.
We start with a celtic faction of the north of Iberia, located in the current Asturias and Leon, and the most important settlement was Asturica (Astorga nowadays)
THE ASTURIANS
OFFICERS
Here you are: officer, general, musician and standard.
UNITS
Four units of the asturian infantry: caetrati, scutati, slingers and lanceati.
Three cavalry units: jinetes, light cavalry and skirmishers.
Now we go to the south, in the current zone of Granada and Almeria, to visit..
THE BASTETANI.
Due to the similarity in culture and the close geographical proximity, this faction is very similar to the Turdetani, both in units and equipment.
OFFICERS
From left to right: officer, general, musician and standard.
UNITS
Infantry: lanceati, mastieni, caetrati, slinger and scutati.
Cavalry: skirmishers (javelins), bastetani cavalry (sword), nobles (they act as the general bodyguards) and light cavalry (falaricas and spear).
In next posts, the other four new factions.
Cheers.
