Total War: Rome II - Daughters of Mars Unit Pack DLC - (PC) Steam EUROPE Digital Key
Daughters of Mars Unit Pack
Athena, Bellona, Andraste, Mars: whichever war deity these soldiers pledged
their lives to received a solemn promise of victory in the face of even the most
formidable enemies. Whether in defence of their homelands, or called upon to
fulfil their part in glorious conquest, female combat units featured throughout
the ancient world. Adding a swift and deadly mix of fighting styles and
abilities to the fray, generals will wisely place value on those who aspire to
be the avatar of the war gods themselves!
Gladiatrices
Can be recruited by Rome, or as mercenaries in Italia.
Honed to a razor-edge through countless drills and contests in the arena,
Gladiators and Gladiatrices are ruthless and skilled brawlers. Their
sledgehammer approach to melee brooks no compromise, and in the right
circumstances, they can inflict heavy losses on traditional soldiery. Heavily
armoured and disciplined, Gladiatrices are more formidable defenders than their
arena-trained male counterparts, and every bit their equals in their lust for
battle.
Mercenary Kushite shieldwomen
Can be recruited as mercenaries in Aethiopia.
The fiercely independent Kushite Nubians are a geopolitical force to be reckoned
with. Their mounted archers and skilled infantry have repelled Roman advances on
multiple occasions, ably demonstrating their proficiency in large-scale battle.
The zealous, spear-armed warriors of the Kushite Shieldwomen are swift, agile
and deadly; able to strike swiftly from woodlands and trained to form up
effectively in defence, Cavalry commanders would be wise to fear them.
Lusitani Swordswomen
Can be recruited by The Lusitani, or as mercenaries in Lusitania.
Honed by generations of conflict and rightly feared for their lightning ambush
tactics, The Lusitani have built a reputation as excellent guerrilla warriors.
Trained to advance under the whittling fire provided by the Cantabrian Circle,
their swift and hard-hitting Swordswomen are adept at exploiting woodlands to
remain hidden while they move. When the charge comes, it is swift, sudden,
frenzied and terrifying; though used carefully, Lusitani Swordswomen can also
mount a formidable defence.
Cimbri Bow-Women
Can be recruited by The Suebi.
Like many Germanic tribes, the dense woodlands of northern Europe have impelled
the Suebi to develop superior guerrilla warfare techniques. Adept at making the
most of cover and striking from a hidden position, the Cimbri Bow-Women are
amongst the finest archers the Suebi can field. With superior weapon range and
damage, they can wreak havoc before they are even detected. If attacked directly
however, they can give a better account of themselves in melee than their
principal role suggests.
Spear Gladiatrices
Can be recruited by Rome, or as mercenaries in Italia.
Bringing the bloodthirsty and brutal melee techniques of the arena to the
battlefield, Gladiatrices make excellent shock-troops. When armed with spears,
these warriors gain a defensive edge over their sword-wielding battle-sisters,
making them better prepared in the face of an assault. Arranged effectively,
they can stop the hammer-blow of a cavalry charge in its tracks, and their
frenzied riposte can inflict horrific casualties.
Gorgo’s Skirmishers
Can be recruited by Sparta, or as mercenaries in Hellas.
The citizens of Sparta were among the finest infantry in the ancient world. With
the Helots performing the ‘lesser’ functions of society such as agriculture,
Spartan warriors were free to engage in the all-encompassing pursuit of
excellence in combat. Athletics and weapon-drills were not the sole preserve of
men, however. Faster-firing and heavier-hitting than standard sling-wielding
units, Gorgo’s Skirmishers make a valuable addition to any Spartan force.
