The Berbers are a light cavalry faction that is strongest in the early game. They have a number of Light Cavalry options that only require a Stables, the strongest of which is Moorish Raiders, a very good choice. The Berbers also have decent Horse Archers from a Warlords Stables. Their Infantry and Archers, however, are very basic, and will not stand a chance against any other factions Infantry after the early game. Additionally their only Heavy unit is their Generals Bodyguard, who are not as strong as any other general unit. Overall the Berbers are a weak faction with no powerful elite units, and a player will have to be clever to defeat his enemies. All of their units are stronger in deserts.
Unlike nearly all other factions, the Berbers can recruit their entire roster from a Minor City.
Unique Units
Hillmen- Tough, dependable infantry that can hurl javelins before charging; they have a moderate defense, and dug in on a hill they can hold an enemy for a long time.
Berber Axemen- These guys mostly suck. They have terrible morale, will get cut to pieces under missile fire, and only gain a minimal bonus from fighting in the desert. They are, however, useful against heavily armored enemies, and if properly positioned they can maul a unit of Comitatenses.
Mountain Men- Very tough, good morale, and can be absolute beasts in the desert. MM's make a great garrison for your home cities, and they should generally be stationed somewhere important(Alexandra/Carthage/possibly Tingi)
Desert Archers- Basic archers, nothing special
Moorish Raiders/Camel Raiders/Berber Lancers-Good, fast cavalry all, Moors are the best
