Thrace is an infantry focused faction that is notably stronger in early game and that has a diverse choice of infantry. In that way they are similar to most barbarians and despite being considered Greek they have barbarian influence. They get access to both aggressive melee infantry and Phalanx style troops, which is unusual. Their archers and siege weapons are average.
