[edit] Gameplay
The player has the ability to research and create weapons personally to equip his warriors with. This, however, makes each unit relatively expensive. But the player can also steal the opponent's weapons when his warriors die and leave their equipment on the battlefield. The player's workers can collect them. Collected weapons have no cost when building a unit using that weapon.
There are three types of infantry. Light, Medium, and Heavy. Light infantry (psiloi, kara warrior, nubian mercenary) are lightly armored and fast. They are ideal for being ranged units. Medium infantry (spartiate, noble, mighty nadsez), are medium armored and are good as both ranged and melee. Heavy infantry (hoplite, immortal, pharoah's guard) are heavily armored and slow, but are deadly when used as melee.
All infantry (excluding heroes) are built either at the barracks or archery range. Before building a unit, the player must choose which items are to be equipped to that unit. There are 8 slots for customization, and a variety of weapons and shields. Most have to be researched before equipping them to the soldiers.
