Unique Units

Spear Warbands: The men of a spear warband are effective against cavalry and most infantry, but lack the discipline of more 'civilized' troops.

Night Raiders: Night raiders are lightly armed shock troops whose appearance alone is fearful!

Screeching Women: German screeching women think nothing of participating in a battle, wailing encouragement to their own men as they fight, and screaming defiance at the enemy to unnerve them.

Chosen Axemen: Double-handed axes are intimidating weapons, especially in the hands of chosen axemen. These men can hack a hole in almost any enemy battle line.

Beserkers: Berserkers are extremely ferocious, aggressive, indomitable warriors with no thought for personal safety once the rage of battle comes upon them.

Gothic Cavalry: Gothic cavalry are an aristocratic - if such a word can be applied to barbarians - heavy cavalry elite of the German tribes.
