 ====Unique Units====
-'''NUMIDIAN LEGIONARIES'''- Copy of Roman legionaries these are not so disciplined and highly trained as their Roman counter-parts. They throw pila before charging.
+'''Numidian Javelinmen:''' Can be recruited from Barracks.
-'''DESERT INFANTRY'''- Cheap, but mildly effective infantry that is capable of holding the line against light cavalry and infantry.
-===Strategy guides===
-One possible strategy with Numidia is to try hard and conquer Carthage early in game so you can make some money. Siwa should be left to Egypt as there is no point in trying to keep it as an isolated outpost from your empire. Build better barracks as soon as possible because only Numidian legionaries are decent soldiers in Numidia. For missile support you can use javelinmen as they are good against elephants and can engage in melee as well.
+'''Desert Infantry:''' Can be recruited from Militia Barracks.
