Index of Military Units
Garrison
Imperial Garrison - Imperial Garrison installs order through the use of force. Imperial Garrisons are highly professional but rely on greater amounts of violence to maintain order. As such, territories with Imperial Garrisons often have a somewhat lower 'happiness' rating, but a higher 'law and order' rating. Nonetheless, a garrison unit is of little value on a battlefield and is composed of soldiers armed mostly with side arms, batons, and the occasional rifle/shotgun. Any garrison will have several speedshooters in their possession in the event of large-scale riots, however these troops are trained to maintain order; not resist an invasion.
Republican Garrison - Republican Garrison maintains order through a limited use of force. Republican Garrisons are far more likely to establish order through a combination of limited force, firm legalism, and by working with local indigenous leaders. While Republican Garrisons will use force in the event of a large-scale uprising, they are generally loath to do so. As such, territories occupied by a Republican Garrison have a somewhat lower 'law and order' rating but a higher 'happiness' rating. Nonetheless, a garrison unit is of little value on a battlefield and is composed of soldiers armed mostly with side arms, batons, and the occasional rifle/shotgun. Any garrison will have several speedshooters in their possession in the event of large-scale riots, however these troops are trained to maintain order; not resist an invasion.
National Garrison - National Garrisons are used to maintain order by whichever means the national government determines. National Garrisons can be commanded to behave in a number of different fashions, depending on the needs of the national government and are extremely flexible, but costly due to superior training requirements. Nonetheless, a garrison unit is of little value on a battlefield and is composed of soldiers armed mostly with side arms, batons, and the occasional rifle/shotgun. Any garrison will have several speedshooters in their possession in the event of large-scale riots, however these troops are trained to maintain order; not resist an invasion.
Homeland Garrison - Homeland Garrisons are used to maintain order by whichever means the national government determines. Homeland Garrisons can be commanded to behave in a number of different fashions, depending on the needs of the national government and are extremely flexible. However, Homeland Garrisons can only be used within Homeland regions. Nonetheless, a garrison unit is of little value on a battlefield and is composed of soldiers armed mostly with side arms, batons, and the occasional rifle/shotgun. Any garrison will have several speedshooters in their possession in the event of large-scale riots, however these troops are trained to maintain order; not resist an invasion.
Land
Line Infantry - Line infantry are the most common infantrymen in Mun. Trench Infantry are armed with spears, swords, or battleaxes. Line Infantry are armored with a steel breastplate, thick leather cuirasses, and a steel helm.
Trench Infantry - Trench Infantry are among the most common infantrymen in Ede Rame. Trench Infantry are armed with a breechloading single-shot service rifle , a bayonet, a sidearm, and a brace of hand grenades. Trench Infantry can be utilized in a variety of different scenarios, including defending fortresses/trenches, assaulting enemy fortifications/positions, and pacifying populations.
Lancers - Lancers are the most common cavalrymen in Ede Rame. Lancers are armed with a breechloading single-shot service rifle , a bayonet, a sidearm, a heavy saber, and a brace of hand grenades. Lancers are primarily utilized for assaulting enemy formations, either with their sabers in melee or with firearms for greater mobility. Lancers are primarily used to punch holes in enemy formations to allow for greater infantry assault.
Bicycle Troops - Bicycle troops are a somewhat more mobile version of the Trench Infantryman. Bicycle troops are armed with a breechloading single-shot service rifle , a bayonet, a sidearm, a brace of hand grenades, and a heavy-duty, collapsing bicycle. Bicycle troops do not use their bicycles on the battlefield, but rather use them to improve mobility by moving from location to location.
SteamTank - SteamTanks are tracked, armored fighting vehicles that are armed with two heavy-caliber speed shooters and a large-bore heavy cannon. The SteamTank is heavily-armored and cannot be harmed by rifles or speedshooters and is resistant to artillery, and can roll-over enemy trenches. However, the vehicle is powered by two coal-fire engines that are prone to breaking down and are heavily dependent on supply lines.
Clockwork Knights - Clockwork Knights are large, humanoid fighting machines. Standing twenty feet tall, the Clockwork Knight contains a single pilot who sits secured in an armored pod in the Clockwork Knight's abdomen. The Clockwork Knight's left arm is a enormous flamethrower which is used primarily as an anti-infantry weapon. In addition to this, the Clockwork Knight is extremely powerful physically and is strong enough to roll SteamTanks, smash fortifications, and can sow considerable destruction in their wake.
Artillery
Speedshooters - Speedshooters are high-speed, heavy-caliber weapons wielded by a two-man squad. Speedshooters fire rapid-fire bursts and are used for defense.
Cannonade - Cannonade are field artillery that can hurl projectiles several miles. Cannonade are relatively mobile and pulled by horses and can even be disassembled to more quick transportation through poor terrain.
Bombardum - Bombardum throws can hurl fragmentation shells enormous distances and can utterly smash enemy advances and destroy enemy fortifications. Bombardum is noted for being the heaviest artillery in the world.
Airpower
Reconnaissance Biplane - Reconnaissance Biplanes are used by armies to patrol the skies in search of enemy soldiers, to scout ahead to determine the lay of the land, or seek other bits of vital information.
Military Biplane - Military Biplanes are armed with two air-cooled speed shooters and are intended to be used to wage war in the skies above Mun. Occasionally Military Biplanes can be armed with a single heavy bomb for certain missions.
Warflot - A Warflot is a smaller airship designed for mobility and to carry a small payload for battlefield use.
Airship - The Air Ship is a very formidable weapon. The Air Ship is a buoyant aircraft that is held aloft by an enormous helium-filled balloon and is propelled by two engines. These airships have large cargo bays filled with bombs which can be used to bomb enemy cities and assault enemy forces. It is also equipped with two heavy speedshooters that are of limited use in defending it.
Destroyer - A Destroyer is a very ponderous airship that is extremely slow. However, a Destroyer is has enormous cargo bays which are filled with heavy bombs which are used to flatten enemy cities and assault enemy fortifications.
Naval Power
Carrack - Carracks are a three- or four-masted sailing ship. It had a high rounded stern with an aft castle and a forecastle and bowsprit at the stem. It was square-rigged on the foremast and mainmast and lateen-rigged in the mizzenmast. Carracks are generally armed with forty to fifty heavy guns and a number of marines which can be used to engage other ships. While Carracks have become increasingly less useful with the advent of steam power, the Carrack's wind-powered nature allows it a much greater range given its lack of need for coal and large cargo hold which can provide it with a great deal of supplies for long voyages.
Submersible - The Submersible is a specialized watercraft that can operate underwater at great depths to strike at enemy ships. A submersible crew is a very brave, or foolish, group of men, given that the danger of working a submersible is very great. The submersible cannot fight a surface warship with much hope of success, so a submersible is best used to raid merchant shipping or supplying support to larger ships.
Corvette - Corvettes are small, iron-shielded ships that are coal-fired. Corvettes carry a small battery of heavy guns that can be used to attack other ships or provide coastal-support. Generally Corvettes are used to support larger ships rather than fight alone, given their speed and mobility.
Ironclad - Ironclads are medium-sized ships covered with a thick layer of steel armor. Further, it is a steam-powered warship armed with heavy guns used for engaging enemy ships, pounding enemy coastal fortifications and beaches in anticipation of an amphibious landing.
Dreadnought - Dreadnoughts are incredibly heavy warships, essentially floating fortresses. Their heavy guns can completely shatter seawalls and will destroy enemy warships. Their speed suffers, but their armor and guns make the backbone of any modern navy.
Specialty Units
Battlemagi - Battlemagi are a corps of 50 low-level magic-users whose magic is aimed at direct-action or supporting units. Over time, Arch-Magi can emerge from these groups.
Royal Marines (Andlan) - Royal Marines are specialty troops who are designed to undertake amphibious landings, ford rivers, and storm fortifications. These troops are extremely versatile, and are armed with a breechloading single-shot service rifle , a bayonet, a sidearm, a machine-pistol, a brace of grenades and a scimitar (for melee.)
Grenadiers (Batogne) - Grenadiers are heavy infantry that are noted for their destructive capability. While they are slower than most infantry, Grenadiers wield breechloading single-shot service rifle s, bayonets, sidearms, a heavy steel breastplate and a great deal of grenades and hand-bombs.
Uhlan (Clyne) - Uhlan are medium-sized cavalry that are extremely versatile and make use of horses. Uhlan cavalry can fight either as a medium-range cavalry or dismount and fight as a medium-grade infantry. As such, Uhlan are extremely versatile troops which can perform in a variety of ways on the battlefield. Uhlan cavalry are armed with breechloading single-shot service rifle s, bayonets, sidearms, a brace of grenades, a heavy cavalry saber (for fighting on horseback), and a scimitar for melee combat.
Hussars (Correllia) - Hussars are a heavy-grade cavalry which are well-armed and well-armored and make use of heavy horses. Hussars wield a heavy cavalry saber, a breechloading single-shot service rifle , a side arm, a brace of grenades, and a heavy steel breastplate.
Legionaries (Ebiracum) - Legionaries are a heavy-grade infantry that are well-armed and well-armored. Legionaries wield a breechloading single-shot service rifle , a bayonet, a side arm, a heavy hand ax, and a heavy steel breastplate. Legionaries are noted for their staying power on the battlefield and their willingness to stand and fight to the last man.
Velites (Karthago) - Velites are light-grade infantry who are noted for their speed on the battlefield. Velites are capable of being moved quickly about a battlefield by a capable commander to stabilize a breaking line, take advantage of a collapsing enemy, or for any number of reasons. Velites have historically been used to "corral" enemy forces or staunch their advance until more heavy units can be made available. Velites are armed with a breechloading single-shot service rifle , a bayonet, and machine pistols.
Berzerkers (Khulov) - Berzerkers are extremely heavy-grade infantry that retain a fair degree of mobility regardless. Berzerkers wield a breechloading single-shot service rifle , a bayonet, a side arm, a brace of grenades, a steel breastplate, and two heavy battleaxes. Berzerkers are perhaps the greatest melee troops in the world and are noted for their ability to hurl themselves, without seeming fear, into their enemy's lines with abandon.
Kapikulu (Ras Faraj) - Kapikulu are the formidable cavalry of the Sultan of Ras Faraj. Riding on Ostriks, the Kapikulu are swift-moving and hard-hitting cavalry that are armed with a breechloading single-shot service rifle , a bayonet, a brace of grenades, a heavy cavalry saber, a brace of grenades, and wear a heavy steel breastplate. Ostriks are noted as being exceptionally capable on the wide, grassy plains of southern Ras Faraj and are one of the few units noted for its combat effectiveness against Wemics.
Samurai (Maveren) - The Samurai, like Maveren at large, have embraced the Industrial Revolution and updated themselves accordingly and become amongst the finest heavy-grade infantry in the world. Samurai remain the masters of the blade and fear nothing in battle. Samurai are armed with a katana, a breechloading single-shot service rifle , a bayonet, a brace of grenades, a machine pistol, heavy steel breastplates, heavy steel cuirasses, and steel-reinforced boots.
Mountaineers (Maclow) - Mountaineers are medium-grade infantry that are noted for their ability to fight in mountainous terrain. Mountaineers are doughty defenders yet are capable of carrying an offensive through the toughest terrain. Mountaineers wield a breechloading single-shot service rifle , a battleaxe, a sidearm, and a standardized equipment chest that includes a mountain-climbing kit, a pick-ax, and other tools.
Condotierri (Maradeen) - Condotierri are heavy-grade infantry that are noted as perhaps the best defenders in the world. Condotierri are trained as stout infantry whose training centers around the ability to defend fortifications, trenches, and even portions of the line. Condotierri wield heavy steel breastplates, heavy steel cuirasses, steel-reinforced boots, a heavy steel shield, a stubby shotgun with considerable stopping power, a heavy battleaxe, and a brace of grenades. As a result of all of this heavy armor, Condotierri are rather immobile, but once placed by a commander, it takes a considerable amount of force to dislodge them.
Ravagers (Ravorek) - Ravagers are a light-grade infantry thatt are noted for their ability to operate in marginal geography, including deserts, heavy forests, swamps, and hills/mountains. Ravagers are noted for their ability to swiftly move into position, scout enemy positions, and prepare a battlefield in advance. Ravagers can be used to great effect in battle, but are not noted for their ability to stand up against a determined enemy assault without support. Ravagers, when used properly however, can be savage fighters who can deliver crushing blows to enemies, due to their mobility and savagery in battle. Ravagers wield a breechloading single-shot service rifle , a bayonet, a longbow, an infantrymen's saber, a brace of grenades, and are noted for their long, forest-green cloaks which provide some cover.
Overlanders (New Andlan) - Overlanders are frontiersmen who are noted for their ruggedness. Overlands can fight as medium grade cavalry or medium grade infantry. Overlands are armed with breechloading single-shot service rifle s, a bayonet, dual revolvers, a brace of grenades, and an over-sized knife for hunting and fighting. Overlanders are notable for their ability to survive off of the land and get along well with local peoples.
Zouaves (Vergone) - Zouaves are a medium-grade infantry who are extremely versatile. Zouaves are noted for their great ιlan and their willingness to tackle tough assignments. Zouaves are an excellent cross between Karthagian velites and Ebiracian legionaries in their ability to maneuver quickly and stand and fight. Zouaves go into battle wielding a breechloading single-shot service rifle , a bayonet, an infantryman's saber, and a brace of grenades.
Bersagliere (Vecchio) - Bersagliere are the finest bicycle troops in the world. Bersagliere have greater training than any bicycle troops in Ede Rame and their equipment is of greater quality. As such, the Bersagliere are feared as highly-mobile troops who can quickly move from battlefield to battlefield, while quickly deploying to engage their enemies. Bersagliere wield a breechloading single-shot service rifle , a bayonet, an infantryman's saber, a brace of grenades, and a collapsable bicycle.
Stormtroopers (Waagehaus) - Stormtroopers are amongst the move feared infantry in Ede Rame. Designed specifically to storm enemy trenches/fortifications, Stormtroopers are designed to carry an extreme amount of violence relatively short distances. Stormtroopers are highly aggressive troops, but are not designed for the long-haul and thus require periods of rest in between assaults. As such, Stormtroopers carry a great deal of weapons in battle, including a heavy steel breastplate, heavy steel braces, steel-reinforced leather greaves, steel-reinforce boots, a breechloading single-shot service rifle , a heavy infantryman's saber (or battleaxe), a bayonet, a sidearm, and a brace of grenades.
Defensive Fortifications
Light Fortress - A Light Fortress is a series of pillboxes that are built to provide housing for speedshooters, light artillery, as well as provide protection for infantry units. The various pill boxes are connected by trenches, which allow troops to be moved quickly back and forth to meet enemy attacks.
Medium Fortress - A Medium Fortress is designed around a large, steel-reinforced concrete fortress with an array of pillboxes surrounding it. The fortress houses speedshooters and artillery. The fortress itself is connected to its various pillbox components by a system of trenches, which allow troops to be moved quickly back and forth to meet enemy attacks. The Medium Fortress is equipped with an array of landmines for additional protection.
Heavy Fortress - A Heavy Fortress is a massive fortification that can repel all but the most sustained of attacks. A Heavy Fortress is a massive, steel-reinforced concrete fortress with a vast array of pillboxes surrounding it. The fortress is connected to its supporting pill boxes by a system of underground tunnels that allow troops to be moved back and forth incredibly quickly under considerable protection. A Heavy Fortress is equipped with significant amounts of heavy speedshooters and heavy artillery to repel any attacker.
Heavy Trench System - A Heavy Trench System can be deployed reasonably quickly to form a solid defensive line. A Heavy Trench System includes various small steel-and-wood barracks at periodic distances apart to provide additional cover and comfort for soldiers in the system. Soldiers are well-protected in the trench from enemy gunfire and any heavy trench system comes equipped with extensive mine field support and barbed wire to hold an enemy at bay.
Trench System - A Trench System can be deployed relatively quickly and provide some cover for soldiers. A Trench System is supported by some mines and a great deal of barbed wire and provides a serious roadblock to any enemy assault.
Land Mines - Land Mines can be quickly deployed to provide cover for an army in the field or as a rapid defensive measure. Land Mines are a huge obstacle to infantry, but mechanized armor can generally traverse a mine field with little difficulty.
Sea Mines - Sea Mines can be deployed quickly as a defensive measure to defend a port of certain sea lanes from enemy intrusion. Removal of a sea mine field is a laborious and dangerous prospect for an invader.
