Velite

The velites are the standard skirmishers of the Roman legions. Their weaponry is very light when compared to the legionnaire's one. They basically only have a few javelines, a small wooden shield and a wolf skin as armor. Their role in a legion is to weaken and harass the enemy before the heavy infantry engages.

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