Mercenary. Hired from a regional pool, not recruited from a building.
Class: missile · Category: infantry · Men per unit: 40
The Arians are situated just to the west of Bactria and are an Iranian people that have long served the empires of the east. Their weaponry is exemplary of the strong archery tradition which dominates the eastern militaries. Armed with a powerful bow and a thrusting spear, these soldiers can fend for themselves in the melee. However, their lack of armour makes it hard for them to survive a forceful assault.
