Samnite gladiators are more than mere soldiers - they are superb individual fighters, unmatched by ordinary warriors.
Overview
Samnite gladiators are more than just soldiers. They are superb individual fighters, unmatched by any ordinary warriors. They fight wearing little armor - their lot in life isn't necessarily to live, but to die in an entertaining manner. Samnites would normally fight as one half of a matched pair, but on a battlefield they form a unit all of their own.
They are a specialized elite, one that cares little for personal safety as the only way to attain any reward is through victory! Gladiators, after all, are part of the damnati: the disgraced, the condemned, the untouchables in society. There is nowhere else for them to go in the search for freedom.
Details
Samnite Gladiators are the only gladiator not unique to a single Roman faction, since the Senate as well as the House of Julii can recruit them. They are unique, however, by being the only kind of gladiator that has a sword as a weapon, while the other two have spears.
Samnite Gladiators are statistically the best at fighting of all three gladiators, and to compensate are slightly more expensive. These units are recruited from the Amphitheater, making them the second most accessible gladiator unit.
