Gameplay

Turmae make excellent raiders because their attributes make them very resistant to ranged attacks, and they can defeat most archers easily. They also have a strong bonus against Throwing Axemen, but it is mitigated to some extent by their low hack armor, which makes anything other than true archers very dangerous, especially cavalry that can outrun them. In the Classical Age they are also important as they are the only way for the Atlanteans to counter archers in that age. Unlike the Norse and Greeks they cannot train true cavalry until the Heroic Age, thus Turmae fulfill the anti-archer role for the Classical Age but are essentially obsolete or relegated to a support role by the Heroic Age.
