Among the doughty folk of the Lusitanian hills the Ambakaro are men whose bravery, stamina and skill is unmatched. These elite fighters are shock troops who disregard all danger when cutting their enemies to pieces. They are armed with a sword and shield, and equipped with chainmail armour. They also carry a pair of Soliferrum - a javelin similar to the roman Pilum but made entirely of iron, making it much heavier (and effective). They fear no men and their over-eagerness to join a battle can be problematic, but like all foot soldiers, they need to be wary of cavalry.
