Mindful of the superiority of Seleucid forces during the first two years of the revolt, Judah's strategy was to avoid any engagement with their regular army, and to resort to guerrilla warfare, in order to give them a feeling of insecurity. The strategy enabled Judah to win a string of victories. At the battle of Nahal el-Haramiah (wadi haramia), he defeated a small Seleucid force under the command of Apollonius, governor of Samaria, who was killed. Judah took possession of Apollonius's sword and used it until his death as a symbol of vengeance. After Nahal el-Haramiah, recruits flocked to the Jewish cause. Infantry sword.

Yehudah HaMakab or Judas Macabbeus.

is a Spaniard phrase that has become part of my lexicon. It means that according to what I have read. The Iberians had more cavalry units than we are representing. By the way. Do you know why we have an Iberian lancer?

They are very similar to Chinese cataphracts.

Yauna is fine because the Ionians.

For reasons that I still don't fully understand. Iberian have a Lancer. It's on our wiki, but I can't find accurate information.

I have it very clear. Still the load of these is very powerful. I have ridden horse. I never dared to gallop.

I wish there could be 2 ginets at the same time as it says below. They carried 2 horsemen at a time to transport troops.

Read the first post, mixing horse breeds sounds very interesting. They probably have a lot of HP and strength.

Ayúdame a leer el PDF de Genava. Yo voy estar fuera de la ciudad.

it is no a small thing. That must hurt a lot.

let's leave it at that, but the horse's force is capable of killing missile infantry with its charge.

If Yekaterina, according to what I read, these people had better cavalry than the Romans. And more varied, they had cavalry of sword and very light spear cavalry.

How good do you consider yourself creating new units? I discovered that the Iberians are short of cavalry.

the celtiberan cavalry was used and even used heavy infantry shields. https://europabarbarorum.fandom.com/wiki/Iberi_Equites_Scutarii_(Iberian_Medium_Cavalry)

for the second phase the idea would be to break the balance of power. You stop to think what line of development to follow to destroy your enemy. It actually works well to avoid overwhelming Mauryan might. By geographical area due to the style of troops.

Cavalry Iberian peninsular cavalry was particularly renowned. Chronicles continually extol Spanish horses, describing them as fast, strong and well tamed. They were accustomed to climb mountainous roads, easily leaving behind their Italic homologues, and were also taught to obey their owners and wait for them if dismounted in midst of the battlefield. This was a custom of Ilergete and Celtiberian cavalrymen, as they often dismounted to fight on their feet at a possible tactical necessity, relegating their mounts as ways to retreat quickly.[2] Another tactic favored in Hispania saw riders carrying a second warrior in their horses, who they would deploy to form contingents of footsoldiers before extracting them from the battlefield the same way.[2] Others would use shock troops tactics, wearing armor and wielding spears and heavy shields.[6] Spanish horsemen worked as mercenaries first by Carthage and later by Rome. During the Second Punic War, riders from Celtiberia, Lusitania and Vettonia were used by Hannibal as heavy cavalry, in stark contrast to the more famed Numidian skirmishing cavalry.[6] Livy compared them favorably against the Numidians, stating that Spanish riders were "their equals in speed and their superiors in strength and daring".[9] Among them is mentioned a unit from the Celtiberian city of Uxama, whose riders wore helmets with jaws of beasts to scare their enemies away.[10] Due to their performance at the battles of Trebia and Cannae, Livy would even state that Hispanic cavalry was superior to any other in the war.[2][4] This eventually led the Roman military to ask for their own horsemen to the Celtiberian cities under their domain, using them to counter their Carthaginian homologues and exerting psychological warfare on them.[11] After the Punic Wars and the Roman conquest of Hispania, Roman military acquired peninsular horses and riders as auxiliaries. Particularly famous examples are found in the late alae quinquagenaria, which contained three Astur Ala Asturum forces, two Arevaci Ala Arevacorum and a famed Vetton contingent named Ala Hispanorum Vettonum.

the truth is that the game lacks technologies and especially for the blacksmith/armory. Considering the regions, the type of weapons, the diversity of materials and shapes, ranging from leather to iron, and even wood. not all shields look alike Those that are of the scutum family cannot be compared to a caetra. Nor are leather and padded armor like lorica segmentata o to scale armor. The Gladius, the falcata type (kopis) do not look like the 2-handed Dacians falxs. We literally have soldiers going bare-chested against units wearing maniqueras. A Maurya spearman cannot compete with a Spartan Hoplite.

@soloooy0 Necesito ayuda con la caballería Ibera. Necesito saber cuáles unidades usaban espada. Ayer mientras jugaba en mi mod estaba viendo que no tienen caballería de espada ni de lanza, pero trae una de choque de dudosa procedencia.

https://www.honga.net/totalwar/rome2/faction.php?l=en&v=rome2&f=rom_turdetani It seems to me that horseback units are missing in the Iberians @Thorfinn the Shallow Minded Sword cavalry and spear cavalry. The Lancer I don't know from what source you got it, it has no historical context.

I agree is heavy. In Age of Empires DE 2 they are light, but have similar ranged attack to pikemen. https://ageofempires.fandom.com/wiki/Steppe_Lancer

we can include someone from the gens Marcia? Why? Because my name comes from that gens Marcio from Marcius. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcia_gens The gens Marcia, occasionally written Martia, was one of the oldest and noblest houses at ancient Rome. They claimed descent from the second and fourth Roman Kings, and the first of the Marcii appearing in the history of the Republic would seem to have been patrician; but all of the families of the Marcii known in the later Republic were plebeian. The first to obtain the consulship was Gaius Marcius Rutilus in 357 BC, only a few years after the passage of the lex Licinia Sextia opened this office to the plebeians. After this family, the next cognomen of the Marcii was Philippus, a Greek name, which first appears as the surname of Quintus Marcius, the consul of 281 BC; but this may anticipate the adoption of the name by his descendant, for a certain Lucius Marcius of this family is said to have had some connection with Philip V of Macedon; his son, Quintus Marcius Philippus, was consul in 186 BC, and it may therefore have been Lucius who was the first to obtain the cognomen. The initial cognomen of the family may have been Tremulus, since the filiations given in the Fasti link Quintus Marcius Tremulus, consul in 306, and his probable son Quintus Marcius Philippus, consul in 281. Philippus means "lover of horses", and the name had for centuries been associated with the Macedonian kings; Philip II was the father of Alexander the Great. So wide was the fame of this dynasty, that it is not entirely impossible that the name had reached Rome at an earlier date. The Philippi were proud of this association since Lucius Marcius Philippus, the consul of 91, even put the portrait of Philip V of Macedon on the denarii he minted.

He was given command of the Roman fleet, and together with his colleague, Manius Manilius, laid siege to the city; but Marcius had to return to Rome to hold elections for the following year.
