The following units only correspond to one faction or faction-specific.
#16 Dahae Heavy Camelry
Recruitment: Barbarian Major City levels 2-4, Minor City levels 2-4
TG: Lance primary, axes secondary. Great against Nomad horse-based armies.
#17 Khorasmii Heavy Cataphracts
Recruitment: Barbarian Major City levels 3-4, Minor City levels 3-4
TG: Highest armor out of the Nomad Lancers, great staying power with maces/axes for melee
#18 Massagetae Royal Horse Archers
Recruitment: Barbarian Major City levels 3-4, Minor City levels 3-4
TG: High armor, uses maces and axes for melee, so could fulfill two roles. Epitome of steady damage delivered from safety of cataphract armor. My favorite unit and favorite faction, yes I’m biased.
#19 Thyssagetae Skirmishers
Recruitment: Barbarian Major City levels 3-4, Minor City levels 3-4
Uses the TGNTE new JavelinCav+SpearShield animation combination!
TG: High accuracy, best nomad Skirmishers. Heavier Eastern influence.
#20 Roxolani Royal Lancers
Recruitment: Barbarian Major City levels 3-4, Minor City levels 3-4
TG: Best charge, even better than Khorasmii Heavy Cataphracts, but much less armored.
Note: Since Gelonus is quite far into the unforgiving forests. These early Roxolani are rather savage and thirsty for plunder, as evidenced by their bear pelt. In the future, I’d like to model and texture a snow leopard pelt about them. That’d be sooo kewl! For now, to distinguish them from other Sarmatian TGNTE and CA units, I switched out the antlered horse for a Cataphract_Half_Horse, showing encroaching Saka influence from the east.
Tips: All about the charge and pulling away as rapidly as possible for another.
#21 Aorsoi Horse Archers
Recruitment: Barbarian Major City levels 2-4, Minor City levels 2-4
TG: The first TGNTE unit to use a custom, new animation of a cavalry archer/spears combo, using bow for range and short spears for melee. Also, mounted on really fast swift light horses. One on one, beats any other first-tier, light nomad HA unit.
#22 Siracene Swordsmen
Recruitment: Barbarian Major City levels 3-4, Minor City levels 3-4
TG: Fast Heavy Infantry. Heavy Pontic and Eastern influence, taking after the Cappadocians and the Armenians and Pontics. Uniformly large men selected.
#23 Budini Hunters
Recruitment: Barbarian Major City levels 1-4, Minor City levels 1-4
TG: Superb foot archers at range, with solid, but not exceptional, melee with axes.
#24 Catiaroi Royal Cavalry
Recruitment: Barbarian Major City levels 3-4, Minor City levels 3-4
TG: Ok charge but not exceptional. Strong attack and moderate defense. All-around sturdy. Not great at any particular thing but a solid unit.
#25 Royal Scythian Noble Armored Lancers
Recruitment: Barbarian Major City levels 3-4, Minor City levels 3-4
TG: Decent charge. Wearing long Thracian cloaks from campaigns in Silestria. Also wearing Dacian chainmail in respect to the fine Dacian craftsmanship.
