Any Batranoban Slave: "What do you mean we are already geared for war?"

(Unit translated from the Bloodlust RPG book.)

This mounted unit is composed of the elite of the Batranoban's society. They are geared with scimitars, shields and mail.

Scout
Very small mounted unit specialized in hit and run combat style. They have a very high initiative to avoid contact with stronger units. They have scimitars, short bow and leather.

Cavalry
During wartime, young House members are gathered in light cavalry units to prove their valor before joining elite units.

Warrior
Used to skirmish and ambush battle, the warriors of the Batranoban's House are not keen on participating in large battle. They are armed with scimitars, small rond shields and leather armors.

Slave
These large units are composed of slaves hoping to be freed after 5 years. Very few of them ever survive. They have spears, no training and no armor.

Skirmisher
Formed with members of the nomad's houses troops, they are skilled in small scale fight. On the battlefield, they are mostly unreliable and used to screen the main forces.

Archer
Raised from the rank of the population, this unit is of mixed quality making them very difficult to command on a battlefield. They have bow and scimitar.

The Sekeker

Sekeker Chrysalis: What kind of man can hurt her?

True Sekeker armies are as rare as their tribes. Most of the troops on the field are meat shields, castrated and lobotomized men. Women warriors are the worst thing that can happen to their men opponents as they fight with madness and hate of the men.

Only composed of the best and most beautiful Sekeker (with their breasts not removed) this unit the most elite Sekeker unit.
They are as mad as their "sisters" and their angel look is disastrous against morale of any enemy in the battlefield. They are armed with 2 swords and wear implicit leather armor if they were any close at all.

Warrior
These units are the backbone of the Sekeker armies Skilled and agile, they have spear, swords and leather armor.

Young
Composed of young girls who just joined the ranks of the Sekeker, they will do their best to prove that they are valuable member of the tribe.They have no armor and have swords and small range weapons.

Meat Shield
Only composed of lobotomized men, this brainless unit has a very limited combat value. It's main goal is to provide an easy target to enemies and bear the bulk of the casualties while Sekeker smaller but better units can hit the real targets. They are equipped with sword without armors.
