Samaritan Sergant

(image)

Samaritan Sergants are low-ranking officers in the ranks. Armed with a bronze shield and javelins, Sergant spearmen are fierce squad leaders and instructors for the basic troops of the Samaritan army. For the Samaritans were generally wealthy, they do use iron spearheads, as a major advantage. They are more experienced and have leadership abilities, but will need some more experience in the field before their leadership is sound and acknowledged.

Samaritans or 'Cutheans' are were a very early ethnic group, widely extended and powerful. From Assyria they extended to India, China, Arabia Petraea and Abyssinia. They were impoted by the Assyrian Empire also to Samaria, in a politic of mass-deportations. They had their Samaritan Temple on Mt. Gerizim, opposed to the Temple in Jerusalem, and they worshiped the mesopotamian deity Nergal, his emblem was a cock.

Special Notes: The length of this unit’s weapon allows it to strike first in melee, even in defense.
