Game Play

Starting Position

• Tingi (Maurentania)
• Dimmidi (Sahara)

Win Conditions

Take 10 settlements, including Alexandria and Carthage

Units

Tough, desert-oriented infantry and light, powerful cavalry. They have no siege weapons and very few heavy units.

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
