Unique Units
NUMIDIAN LEGIONARES- copy of Roman legionares these are not so disclipined and highly trained as their Roman counter-parts. They throw pila before charging.
CAMEL MOUNTED SPECIALISTS- camel soldiers are perfect for scaring soldiers
Strategy guides
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 tryng to keep it isolated from your empire. Build better baracks as soon as possible because only Numidian legionares are decent soldiers in Numidia. For missile support it is good to use javelimans as they are good against elephants and can engage in meele preety good.
