Notwithstanding, it has always paled in comparison with Roman infantry. Each legion has 300 cavalry attached, divided into ten turmae. The cavalry overall numbered 1800 men drawn from publicly and privately outfitted troopers. From the middle of the 2nd Century BC onward, Rome started relying on auxiliary cavalry made up of Thracians, Numidians, Gauls and Germans. 68 * '''Garrison: '''2. 69 * '''Function: '''- 70 * '''Special:''' - 71 75 * '''Garrison:''' 1. 76 * '''Function:''' - 77 * '''Special:''' - 78 79 [[Image(https://trac.wildfiregames.com/export/26049/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/art/textures/ui/session/portraits/units/rome_cavalry_javelinist.png)]] 72 80 * '''Generic Name: Italian Allied Cavalry.''' 73 81 * '''Specific Name: Eques Socius.''' 74 * '''Class:''' C avalry Javelinist.82 * '''Class:''' Citizen Cavalry Javelineer. 75 83 * '''Ranged Armament:''' Javelin.

They could fire a extensive selection of shot, making the Ballista a versatile weapon against stationary or slow moving targets. The downside was the size of the device made them difficult to transport, deploy, and aim. By the Punic Wars era the usage of Ballistas had become regularized, though their numbers to each legion are unknown. 187 * '''Garrison:''' 3. 188 * '''Function:''' - 189 * '''Special: '''- 190 204 * '''Garrison:''' 1. 205 * '''Function:''' - 206 * '''Special:''' - 207 208 [[Image(https://trac.wildfiregames.com/export/26049/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/art/textures/ui/session/portraits/units/rome_siege_scorpio.png)]] 191 209 * '''Generic Name: Scorpion.''' 192 * '''Specific Name: S ame.'''210 * '''Specific Name: Scorpio.''' 193 211 * '''Class:''' Bolt Shooter. 194 212 * '''Ranged Armament:''' See picture. … … 196 214 * '''Shell:''' See picture. 197 215 * '''History:''' The Scorpion was the smaller cousin of the Ballista. Like the former, it was a torsion powered artillery piece firing along a flat directory. But the Scorpion was smaller, and designed as a anti-personnel weapon, with the shot to match. This eliminated the problems of the Ballista, but made them less effective against buildings. Their versatility and size made the Scorpion the most popular artillery piece in the Roman army. 198 * '''Garrison:''' 2.216 * '''Garrison:''' 1. 199 217 * '''Function:''' - 200 218 * '''Special:''' Able to throw darts at a distance of 350 meters. 201 219 202 * '''Generic Name: Roman Siege Ram.''' 220 [[Image(https://trac.wildfiregames.com/export/26049/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/art/textures/ui/session/portraits/units/rome_siege_ram.png)]] 221 * '''Generic Name: Roman Battering Ram.''' 203 222 * '''Specific Name: Aries.''' 204 223 * '''Class:''' Ram. 205 224 * '''Appearance:''' - 206 * '''Shell: '''(Standard).225 * '''Shell:''' (Standard). 207 226 * '''History: '''There are several famous sieges during the time of the Republic which required the use of extensive siege weaponry – Syracuse (212 BC), Carthage (148 – 146 BC) and Tigranocerta (68 BC) – they were all carried out successfully. 208 * '''Garrison:''' 3.227 * '''Garrison:''' 1. 209 228 * '''Function:''' - 210 229 * '''Special:''' - 211 230 212 231 === CHAMPION UNITS === 232 [[Image(https://trac.wildfiregames.com/export/26049/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/art/textures/ui/session/portraits/units/rome_champion_infantry.png)]] 213 233 * '''Generic Name: Italic Heavy Infantry.''' 214 234 * '''Specific Name: Extraordinarius.''' 215 * '''Class:''' Champion Infantry Unit.216 * '''Hacker Armament:''' Sword (Gladius).217 * '''Ranged Armament:''' Javelin (Pilum).235 * '''Class:''' Champion Infantry Swordsman. 236 * '''Hacker Armament:''' Gladius. 237 * '''Ranged Armament:''' Pilum. 218 238 * '''Appearance: ''' - 219 239 * '''Garb:''' Roman wide, sleeveless tunic, player color.
