Barcid Reforms
Who gets it: Carthage and Gades
The Libyans have undergone major transformations during the course of the wars with the Romans, or the Punic Wars as they are often known. Under the influence of these repeated military encounters, many of their techniques (and much of their equipment) started to be 'borrowed' from their Roman foe. The Libyans moved more towards the Roman way of fighting, and although nowhere near a manipular army, they definitely separated more from the Greek influence of their predecessors. During Hannibal's Italian campaign, most famously, many of his soldiers were re-equiped with Roman weapons looted from the battlefield.
The reform unit available for recruitment now reflects this development. Check the recruitment scroll to view its details.
