My First Unit: Caltrop

[Roman Legion]

Caltrop. Hand Weapon. The "crow's foot" was first used in 4th century B.C. It consisted of four or more sharp iron spikes that were thrown in front of a horse's hooves or infantrymen's feet.

Many thanks to Bjornlo, and Righteous Fist.

I like this unit, I going to use this in the Alexander the Great Scenario. I'm glad I could help.

 

[Roman Legion]

Thank you Righteous Fist, Iam glad you liked it.

Interesting. I'm assuming it would be used like an ancient land mine (immobile, high defensive bombard?)

@Righteous Fist--Which "Alexander the Great Scenario" do you refer to?

 

[Roman Legion]

Ill post the stats later.

 

[John_Deere]

Was this used during roman times (late republic)??

Roman Legion has made myriad solid contributions since joining. I hope he will ignore that remark and give it the attention it deserves.

He he. We now officially have too many land mines in Civ.

Naval mines, tripwire, regular land mines, and metal spikes.

 

[Roman Legion]

I guess you never have enough mines.
