Faction Overview Strategic Overview History

The Byzantines have the power of Architecture.

The Byzantine army is known for its proficiency on land and at sea, and sports powerful cataphract-type cavalry and a variety of infantry with high defensive capabilities. On the seas, they are much feared, with their cheirosiphon vessel, which is in fact a naphta-spewing ship capable of taking out a variety of targets with its flame attack. Byzantine defences are also much feared for their reach, but once the late period is reached, all that will be left to stave off defeat would be a huge number of mercenaries whose performance against gunpowder weaponry - buildable by all factions - and the better-trained troops of Western Europe and the Turks must be questioned.
