Samaritan Troopers are Clad in light bronze armor. Armed with a bronze shield and a few javelins, Trooper spearmen are the staple of the Samaritan army, often thrown into the front lines with only the most basic training.

Samaritans or 'Cutheans' are were a very early panethnic group, widely extended from Assyria to India, China, Arabia Petraea and Abyssinia, and rich and powerful. 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.
