Legionnaire

(image)

The Legionnaire is the backbone of the Lavinian army. He begins training and drilling at a very young age, and can serve for up to twenty-five years. His main weapons are the gladius, a short stabbing sword, and the pilum, a throwing spear that sticks into an enemy's shield, weighing him down and often causing him to trip. Normally the Legionnaires battle in formation, with the Auxilia protecting the flanks, but on his own a Legionnaire can still fight bravely.

Special Notes: This unit is able to slow its enemies, halving their movement speed and attack damage until they end a turn.The shield of the Legionnaire is so large that it is easiest for him to retaliate to melee attacks with it, rather than switching to his gladius.
