Armenian Legionaries are basically crappier versions of Early Legionary Cohorts. They look almost exactly the same, except palette swapped and with a slightly different shield, but they have the stats of Principes, but with less morale, though they are still disciplined. They are still quite a useful unit as they have great defence for that region’s infantry and they still have the pila. Armenian legionaries are definitely worth using, just be careful with them and use legion tactics and you’ll be fine with some support. They can’t form testudo.

ARMENIAN LEGIONARIES.pngArmenian legionaries are an attempt to copy the fighting style and skills of the Roman Legions, and give other commanders the war-winning troops of Rome.

Overview

Armenian legionaries are an attempt to copy the fighting style and skills of the Roman Legions, and give other commanders the war-winning troops of Rome. Although armed and equipped in the manner of Roman legionaries, with iron-shafted throwing spears (pila), short swords, chainmail and large shields, these men are not of quite the same quality as the originals. Armenians are hardy folk and do not tire easily. It is true, and they have accepted the iron discipline that legionary training requires, but the quality of that training is not quite up to Roman standards. They are good heavy infantry once seasoned, but poor training means they cannot use the famous tortoise (testudo) formation. That said, they can still give a nasty shock to any enemy - their fighting style of bombarding an enemy with pila and then closing for the kill is just as effective when performed by Armenians as it is when Romans do the job!

They are still quite a useful unit as they have great defence for that region’s infantry and they still have the pila. Armenian legionaries are definitely worth using, just be careful with them and use legion tactics and you’ll be fine with some support. They can’t form testudo.
