- begin{notes}
- This period strictly covers about 600 to 200 B.C., since later times were
- dominated by Romans with rather different sorts of units. Land warfare
- was most significant, with some notable sea-fights. Cities were nearly
- untakeable, so the action centered around sieges and field battles.
-
- Peltast (light infantry). Useful in skirmishes.
-
- Hoplite (heavy infantry). For the capture of cities by assault.
-
- Archer.
-
- Cavalry. Fast, but ineffective against cities.
-
- Bireme (small ship).
-
- Trireme (larger ship).
-
- Elephant. Can destroy cavalry, but vulnerable to archers, who shoot
- arrows into the elephants' eyes and panic them.
-
- Siege Engine. Bash cities with this.
-
- The numbers border on the plausible, but again this one has not been
- played enough to find the imbalances even, let alone decide on good
- strategies.
