Illyria / EnglishCrusader
Colour: Grey
Location: Northern Illyria (inland, not next to the sea)
Background: The Illyrian people were originally a Greek tribe who moved up north to settle near the Dinaric Alps mountain range, but have now lost contact with the other Greek settlements. They have been isolated from the rest of the world for almost 500 years and haven't ventured outside their own lands since they moved north from Greece. To the west, north and south, they are shielded by the mountains and to the east they have thousands of acres of fertile lands to expand. The Illyrians haven't yet set up a port on the Adriatic coast, as the area is ripe with many pirates raiding all along the coast.
The Illyrian people have set up many mines in the mountains to the west and are mining huge reserves of iron (We can have iron, right? If not, I'll change it) deep within the mountain range and use it for many purposes, such as weaponry, armour, tools and as a construction material. Wheat is the main crop grown within their lands, with olives, grapes and citrus fruits also being grown commonly by the Illyrians. They are trading partners with several inland barbarian tribes, mainly trading their vast reserves of iron.
However, not all barbarians are friendly towards the Illyrian people. Although the west, north and south are shielded by the mountains, many raids from the east over the years have hardened the once peaceful Illyrian people. They rely on heavy infantry to hold their enemies and archers to pepper with arrows, using their iron and talented smiths to create very strong armour. They usually use their heavy infantry in the winter when it starts to get very cold but in the hot summers they rely more on their archers who have lighter armour, but is still heavy compared to the archers of other nations. Their heavy infantry are their unique units, equipped with quality armour and weapons and very well trained.
The Illyrians are a peaceful people but are ready to defend their lands at any cost. For the past 500 years they have stayed in their own territory, but overpopulation has led to the voices of many people requesting expansion, and with more iron being produced than is needed the Illyrians could look to expand east, into the plains, or west to get a port set up on the Adriatic to open up more trading possibilities.
