{bodyguard_sindh}Стража Джагирдаров
{bodyguard_sindh_descr}Бассейн реки Инд был окном в Индию для всех желающих ее завоевать. Местные властители всегда настаивали на своей независимости от индийских империй. Эта земля разделена на несколько княжеств, жители говорят на фарси, индийском, арабском и тюркском наречии. После вторжения мусульман Инд стал частью Халифата, но лишь номинально, индийские и мусульманские князья правят практически самовластно. Мухаммад Газневи подавил их суверенитет и включил их владения в состав своей державы, впрочем его наследники удержать завоеванное отцом не смогли. Как Раджпуты появились в Индии после вторжений Кушан и Белых Гуннов, так джагирдары возникли от смешения мусульман-пришельцев с местным населением. По-персидски Jagir - феод, даруемый мусульманским правителем военному предводителю, подчиняяя ему всех жителей. Большая часть дохода с феода идет на содержание войска, остальное в казну сюзерена. Как правило после смерти или отъезда Джагирдара, земли возвращались халифу или султану, но в некоторых случаях феодальное владение было наследственным. С упадком центральной власти владения превратились в вотчины и много раз делились между наследниками. Местная знать осталась в основном раджпутской несмотря на исламизацию, но боевые традиции и тактика пришлых арабов были ей вполне усвоены. Сражение на копьях в седле и лихой наскок на врага -- для раджпутов это более благородный вид боя, чем "трусливая" стрельба из лука с безопасного расстояния. Сидя на быстроходных аравийских скакунах, эти уланы воюют как среднетяжелые всадники с большой дальностью аллюра, быстро атакуют и перегруппировываютя для удара на другом участке. Истинно благородным они считают отказ от щитов, вешая их за спину, чтобы ударить копьем и длиннымым кривым мечом в свободной руке. Они очень рискуют, отказываясь от защиты, но гордость для сыновей раджпутов и арабов намного важнее кровавых ран.
{bodyguard_sindh_descr_short} Быстрая тяжелая конница с арабскими традициями быстрого сокрушающего наскока, быстрого отхода и нового удара.

{bodyguard_turks}Стража Капукулу
{bodyguard_turks_descr}Qapukulu -- "рабы дворца", корпус личной конной гвардии Султана. Сформирован из сыновей аристократов, взятых на службу в молодом возрасте и прошедших строгий отбор. В османской иерархии эти всадники занимают место выше Янычар. Они вооружены копьями и булавами, и человек и лошадь защищены броней. Капукулу -- это надежный резерв для турецкого полководца, в бою им можно доверить любую задачу.

{bodyguard_ghazni}Дворцовая Стража Газневидов

Воины корпуса -- близкие соратники султанов Газни, они, конечно же не раздумывая, отдадут свои жизни за победу династии. Если властитель погибнет, то им лучше умереть смертью героев на поле брани, чем возвратиться домой без сюзерена.

{bodyguard_ghorids}Гулямская Стража

После жесточайшего отбора наиболее способные рабы были включены в отряды личной гвардии султанов Гури. Жестокие как и земля, которая породила их, они дисциплинированы и бьются при любых неблагоприятных условиях дабы защитить своего полководца.

Тяжелобронированные всадники, почти неуязвимые для стрел, в открытом бою им нет равных, они самоотверженно прикрывают грудью самого важного человека во главе армии.

{bodyguard_khwarezm_descr_short}Элитные телохранители Шахов Хорезма, их внушающий страх и ужас удар с копьчми наперевес может сломить практически любое сопротивление.

{bodyguard_seljuks}Стража Сельджукидов
{bodyguard_seljuks_descr}Султаны Династии Сельджуков всегда отбирали в гвардию самых способных и бесстрашных воинов, которые бы стерегли их ночь и день. Значительная плата, которую получают эти элитные бойцы, является сравнительно дешевым эквивалентом их боевых навыков, но их связывает с Султаном собачья преданность к нему, а не монета. Это значит, что страх этим воинам не ведом, они сражаются до победы, и смерть для них безусловно предпочтительна бесчестью.
{bodyguard_seljuks_descr_short}Тяжелоконные телохранители Сельджукидов, их преданность Султану и ярость в бою устрашит любого врага.

{bodyguard_rajputs_descr_short}Эти телохранители великолепны в бою и лояльны чрезмерно. Для них жизнь Раджи стоит намного больше чем их собственная, и они совершат любые подвиги, чтобы владыка был в целости и сохранности.

{bodyguard_oman}Стража Имама
{bodyguard_oman_descr}Копье было любимым оружием арабов, особенно для конницы. Арабские копья делались более длинными чем обычные копья, распространенные в Европе и Африке. Длина добавляла всаднику мощи и делала его менее уязвимым для копий врага. Аравийская конница служила образцом для многих армий, и с тех пор арабы очень гордятся своими лошадями. Оман прославился как родина лучших аравийских мастей, снабжая боевыми конями всё от Ирана до Египта. На лучших из лучших конях Омана сражаются гвардейцы Имама. Они экипированы превосходными доспехами из кольчуги и шелка, арабскими копьями и индийскими щитами.

Эти стражники были избраны из самых лучших рыцарей-крестоносцев, чтобы охранять предводителя Крестового Похода. Вооруженные копьем и прямым мечом для ближнего боя, они ищут великой славы, сражаясь с сарацинами под началом своего полководца, и будут защищать его до самого конца.
{bodyguard_jerusalem_descr_short}Эти стражники были избраны из самых лучших рыцарей-крестоносцев, чтобы охранять предводителя Крестового Похода. Они будут защищать своего полководца любой ценой.

{azer_swordsmen_cavalry}Agulani Horsemen
{azer_swordsmen_cavalry_descr}"Three Thousand of those who were called Agulani were said to be present, and they were afraid neither of swords, lances, arrows, nor any kind of arms, because they and their horses were covered with armor everywhere. In battle the only weapons they used were their swords" was the commentary of Peter Tudebode, a priest of Poitou, France, who had borne witness to the terrible presence of the Agulani Horsemen in the Seljuk armies at the siege of Antioch in the First Crusade. Though rarely having established kingdoms to shake the political foundation of the region as other Iranian or Caucasus kingdoms had, they would often venture out in the service of others, their worth as very heavy cavalry often choosing to wield swords in lieu of lance or bow being well noted by whatever kingdoms were in the sway of power at the time.
These heavily armored Agulani are not to be used in the fine-edged manner that Lancers or Horse archers are. Subtlety is not in the language of these Azeri warriors: Raw strength is what their element is, and applying them in this manner is to put them to their best usage. Thrown into the flanks of mobile horsemen and they might cut away with skills honed in swordsmanship against those who would focus more on lance or bow. Thrown into the ranks of infantry, and their sheer weight will rip asunder their foes cohesion, and their armor and skill see them through to rumble right out the opposite side.
{azer_swordsmen_cavalry_descr_short}Very well armored horsemen, armed only with the sword and shield. Best utilized not as shock cavalry but as horsemen to engage other heavy horsemen less able in close combat, or to simply wade into the enemy ranks.

{daylami_tribal_spearmen}Khorasani Light Spearmen
{daylami_tribal_spearmen_descr}Long before the arrival of the Parthian knights, or Turkomans, the tradition of spearmen fighting in conjunction with archers was one of the primary means by which the Achaemenids conquered their Persian Empire. Despite the flowering of the marital prowess of the horseman, Khorasan has kept this tradition alive so many centuries later, combining it with the turkomans as the Achaemenids once did with their own light horse. Any doubts of the worth of spearmen in the land of horse and bow were easily dispelled by the conquests of Mahmud of Ghazni, brought forth not only by horseman with bow, but also footmen with spear and bow.
Unlike the meek ahdath militias of the cities, the Khorasani spearmen are not simply city-folk forced into service. Their ranks consist primarily of the fierce and independent tribesmen of the hills, and ghazi having forsaken a settled, peaceful existence for the jihad. Such men grant their ranks a ruggedness and eagerness typically absent in the poorer troops of other nations. Affording only a spear and shield and on occasion a looted helmet, their spirit and fervor may let them hold the line, but their lack of armor hinders them from serving in any highly crucial part of the battle line. They are best utilized in the traditions of Khorasan, as spearmen to defend the foot archers and not as spearmen to carry the fight to the enemy.
{daylami_tribal_spearmen_descr_short}Spearmen levied from the tribes and cities of Greater Khorasan. Poor of armor and of limited training, but reliable and cheap light spearmen best utilized in the defense of foot archers.

{daylami_spearmen}Sistani Heavy Spearmen
{daylami_spearmen_descr}Gold flows as rivers in the great cities of Khorasan. In Herat, Merv, Ghazni, and Nishapur, rich merchants and officials often raise retinues of bodyguards to protect their homes and lives. During times of war these men march to battle with their masters and make a potent force of well trained and equipped spearmen.
{daylami_spearmen_descr_short}Heavily armored spearmen raised from rich city dwellers.

{daylami_tribesmen}Daylami Tribesmen
{daylami_tribesmen_descr}The hilly lands of northern Afghanistan have always been a troublesome spot; the people fierce and independent, the land ideal for ambush. Conquerors come and go, but the people of this region maintain their unique culture and ways of war. Constantly raiding the surrounding lands, afghan tribes are often placated by terms of service in foreign armies. The fiercest of the peasant population often prefer to fight with axe and shield, taking the fight directly to the enemy. Though lightly armored, they fight with courage and tenacity
{daylami_tribesmen_descr_short}Fierce axemen hailing from the remote hills of Afghanistan.

{daylami_infantry}Daylami Infantry
{daylami_infantry_descr} The hilly lands of Iran have always been a troublesome spot; the people fierce and independent, the land ideal for ambush. Conquerors come and go, but the people of this region maintain their unique culture and ways of war. Clad in mail and leather bought with plundered riches, Daylami infantry descend from the hilltops like clouds of locusts, constantly harassing enemy positions. Such is their skill and reputation that lords from lands as far as Egypt have acquired their services.
{daylami_infantry_descr_short}Tough javelinmen clad in light mail.

{daylami_heavy}Daylami Heavy Infantry

{ghazni_spearmen}Ghaznavid Regulars
{ghazni_spearmen_descr}Though the armies of the Ghazni were recognized and renowned for their large amount of professionally trained soldiers, like any kingdom, much of their force was made up of semi-professional soldiers.
The Infantry regulars of the Ghaznavids consist of the myriad of peoples held under their empire - though Eastern Iranians make up much of their ranks, so too do Turks, Tajiks, Muslim Indians of Sindh and the Punjab, Baluchis, as well as Kurdish and Arab mercenaries. As is the case with much of the Ghaznavids, armor is found in their ranks, though no single style or amount is dominant. Whatever can be afforded or brought is utilized, so that standing together one may see the regular spearmen of the Ghazni armored in lamellar, scale, mail, or leather.
Yet their fighting style sets them apart from much of the spearmen of Ghazni. Less in common with the age old tradition of spearmen defending the archers, their way of warfare is more closely linked with the invading Greeks of Alexander, and their mobile, shield-bearing spearmen. More mobile, and more aggressive, their spears are shorter so as to engage enemy infantry instead of brace against the onrush of cavalry.
Much like the Daylami, though without their deadly Zhupin Javelin-spears, these Regulars serve as a mainstay of the Ghazni's infantry. Though not tamed and trained like the iron-willed Ghulams of Khorasan, these spearmen possess a tenacity and energy which makes them a very valuable soldier, and a reminder that Khorasan is not throne to only the horse, but a democracy of spearman, archer, and cavalry.
{ghazni_spearmen_descr_short}A Multi-ethnic force of medium spearmen, tailored more towards fighting infantry than cavalry. Reasonably armed and armored, with good training and moral.

{ghazni_archers}Ghaznavid Bowmen
{ghazni_archers_descr}The bow has always been a scepter in the hands of Asiatic rulers, a weapon honed from ancient times into an invaluable weapon, yet one which save for the Nomad, is never capable of bringing victory by itself. Mahmud and his successors knew this, and brought back into life the practice of Ancient Persia's massed foot archers.
It was not difficult to let this tradition bring itself back as a phoenix from the ashes. After all, as much if not more than the spear the bow has been a birthright to the men of Asia, and amongst every culture and people which Mahmud and his successors would call upon, the bow would have a place of honor at their table.
As with the regulars of Ghazni's infantry, the archers of the Ghaznavids come from a wide selection of peoples. Amongst their ranks, more turks may be found by their overwhelming dedication to archery, but many Khorasanis, Tajiks, Arabs, and Muslim Indians draw, nock, and loose their arrows alongside them. Armor is plentiful in their ranks, the wealth of previous ruler's raids and invasions offering even archers traditionally removed from the front lines the ability to wade forth and draw mace and shield to serve as light-medium infantry.
Simply bringing back a practice of the past to the present is hardly enough, for that which died out often had a reason to. It's for that reason that Hybridzation of their archers has developed as a Ghazni innovation. With bowmen capable of engaging in melee with hardly a blink of the eyes, it may be that this phoenix of massed foot archers shall merely need to rise from the ashes of the enemies it scorches.
{ghazni_archers_descr_short}Medium Hybrid archers, proficient with the bow and capable of serving as supporting offensive infantry.

{ghazni_cavalry}Ghaznavid Cavalry
{ghazni_cavalry_descr}It was with the arrival of the Turks that many would look to the east and see it as a realm ruled by horse archer and horseman. Though such a rule is contested by the dogged presence of infantry and foot archers, there is still an undeniable presence of horse archery. Yet such has been in these lands for long since before the Turks, though the Arabs may have interrupted such a long-standing tradition. With centuries upon centuries of their ancestors fighting upon horseback with bows, but choosing to engage in melee much sooner than their steppe brethren, the realm of Khorasan is not only rich in natural resources, but also human resources.
The very peoples who offer them such capable spearmen and foot archers are often equally proficient on horseback at the very same weapons.
Here is where the flowers of the steppe have come to blossom in the sands of Khorasan, with many a detribalized or settled turk finding service in the ranks of Ghazni's semi-professional horsemen. So too do Khorasanis, Tajiks, and a limited amount of Muslim Indians, to whom horse archery is a newfound tradition.
But horse archery is not all that these horsemen are capable of - with more armor and better melee weapons than many a tribal turkoman, they are more than capable to engage light cavalry without flinching, and to combat with medium cavalry after having softened them up with archery.

{ghulam_spearmen}Ghulam Spearmen
{ghulam_spearmen_descr}It would seem peculiar that in the lands of Persia, famous for horse and bow, that a tradition of heavy infantry would be born here from ancient Sassanian times. Perhaps the seeds were sown by Alexander?s arrival, or perhaps they were a natural development for the infantry of rugged Khorasan and Eastern Persia. Whatever the case, the Daylami and Khorasanis of Greater Persia stand as eternal as the lands of Persia itself. The dynasties may change, the invaders may come from steppe or desert, yet it is always they who are absorbed into Persia, and not Persia which is absorbed into they. Through their enduring presence has the Ghazni Turks come to place a democracy upon the throne of Persia, with spearmen, bowmen, and horsemen standing together as equals. Truly, the Foot Ghulams of the Ghaznavids are the product of nurture and not nature: such reliable heavy infantry being of Turkish and Indian origin, with but a few Khorasanis thrown in, seems almost blasphemous with both cultures holding little regard to such warriors. Yet no longer are these men of the Turkish Wolves Pack or children of Vishnu, having been smelted down to be crafted as an alloy of peoples, a Damascus sword of sharp Turkish and Indian edge and Hard Persian Core. Their role is like that of all Spearmen of the Ghaznavids: to be a wall behind which the Javelinmen and Archers are protected. In mail hauberk, helmet and leather shields covered of metal, they operate as medium spearmen, suited best to defend against infantry and the attacks of cavalry. At the sight of these soldiers with iron wall of shield, spear, and spirit, one might well have thought himself to have arrived in the time of the Bactrian Greeks. As these men would stand at the vanguard of Ghazni incursions into India and lands to the west, one might well look upon the Sultan of these men and think: ?To the strongest did Iskander leave his empire, and now the strongest has come to finally claim it.?
{ghulam_spearmen_descr_short}Iron-willed medium spearmen, suited to any important place in the battle line.

{ghulam_heavy_archer}Ghulam Infantry
{ghulam_heavy_archer_descr}Though the Ghaznavids have done much to adopt the Khorasani reliance upon spearmen, old habits die hard and most of their Turkish Foot Ghulams are armed with bow and mace, spears often left to those of Khorasani or Indian heritage. Yet these infantrymen have adopted much from their brethren, serving not as light and fragile turkoman tribesmen, but as stout infantry, often remarked to be the ones advancing with spearmen in support, instead of being the ones who support the advancing spearmen! Wearing mailed coats with the addition of leather lamellar, their maces belted and metal-covered leather shields slung upon their backs, these Ghulam Infantry serve as Hybrid-warriors, as capable in melee as at archery. Despite such a spirit for close-quarters-combat, their value would make their role in open battle better served by firing behind the spearmen, and engaging their foes in melee upon having weakened them. Though there may be archers heavier or infantry stronger in their strikes, the versatility of these infantrymen along with their iron-discipline and moral grant them a place upon the pedestal of history?s most respected infantry. To be in use and find such a success where horse archer and heavy lancer are king is in itself an accomplishment few save others of Daylam and Khorasan may hope to match.
{ghulam_heavy_archer_descr_short}Strong Medium-heavy Hybrid Archers, as capable in melee as they are at archery.

{ghulam_mounted_spearmen}Ghazni Light Lancers
{ghulam_mounted_spearmen_descr}As bow and mace is to be found in the right and left hand of any Turkish Horsemen, lance and sword are to be found in the hands of any Arabian Faris, even as the reign of the horse archer seems never-ending. Though the recent centuries of Turkish dominion in light horsemanship has tarnished the reputation the Arabs, once held in the highest regard for light cavalry, such has done nothing to diminish their actual skill. While those in the west may take such readily available troops for granted, their presence in Eastern Iran where bow and mace are the scepters of the Horse-Kings is truly a valued commodity. Coming as mercenaries as well as Ghazi warriors of the Faith, Kurds and Arabs chronicled by a Byzantine writer as ?Daring bare-back riders? would come to be known as dare-devil riders amongst the Ghaznavids. Their speed and swiftness are legendary, gifted as much to their talents as to their mounts, the Syrian-Arab crossbreed, possessing characteristics of both the small but strong North African Horse and the heavier Persian Horse. Just as their steeds combine the traits of two different horses, so too do these Ghazi take to a balanced approach on armor. Better clad than their Bedouin kin yet less so than the heavier Turkish Ghulams, their speed and swiftness comes to be what will best guide their lances, instead of the Ghulam?s weight and force. Upon such mobile mounts, with strong spear and spirit, these Arabian and Kurdish Ghazis may be daring devils to their foes, but they are nothing short of a gift of God to the Ghaznavids.
{ghulam_mounted_spearmen_descr_short}Mobile Medium cavalry, exceptional in speed and swiftness, though only acceptable in armor and power.

{ghulam_mounted_heavy_archer}Ghaznavid Ghulams
{ghulam_mounted_heavy_archer_descr}It would stand as a testament to the professionalism and worth of the Ghaznavid armies that to simply afford their existence they had to be on a nearly constant offensive in search of plunder. Where amongst the various Turkish Dynasties of the West Ghulams made up only a small core of elites, such as the 500 Saladin brought with him to Egypt, they form much of the Ghaznavid?s regular army. Their Palace Guard alone stands four to six thousand strong, combined with a standing army including Ghulams and other various troops totaling 30,000. Professionalism, or some amount of it, is much more the rule and not the exception for successors of Mahmud of Ghazni. For a multi-ethnic army like the Ghaznavids, the weapons varied upon nationality. Recurve bows, maces, battleaxes, lances, curved swords and javelins saw use by Turks, Tajiks, Kurds, Arabs, Khorasanis, Punjabis and Indians. Yet if one were to seek a symbolic weapon of their Ghulams, the guardians of the Sultan and those of whom this dynasty originates, it would be the Mace. Ever-held in high regard by the Persians as well the Turks, these Ghulams of the Ghaznavids set themselves apart from many other horse-archers by being willing, even wishing, to set aside their bows and bring forth shield and mace to fight up close. Their zeal and discipline keep them from rushing ahead impetuously, however, and only upon having weakened their foe with rapid shower-shooting will they seek to fight them.
{ghulam_mounted_heavy_archer_descr_short}Multi-purpose Medium-heavy Horse Archers, fulfilling a role of both horse archer and melee horsemen.

{turkopole}Turkopoles
{turkopole_descr}Though the traditions of Western Warfare remained dominant in Outremer, the Kingdoms of the Franks would not have lasted as long as they had would no inspiration have been taken by the locals. Amongst the adopted tactics and indigenous troops of the East, Turkopoles have proven to be the most valuable. Having first discovered them in the Byzantine Army during the First Crusade, some were brought along with the Crusaders to be amongst the first units established in Outremer, beginning a practice that would outlast the life of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Though their name and inspiration came from the Byzantines, much was in common with the Muslim's Mamluks, as a number of the Turkpole's ranks were converted Muslim prisoners of war. Such had labeled them apostates and traitors in the eyes of Muslims, ensuring their steadfast loyalty, and almost certain execution if captured. However, not always were they converted Prisoners of war - many were recruited from Christianized Seljuks, or the Eastern orthodox Christians inhabiting the lands of Outremer.
Armed with spear, shield, and composite bow, riding horses lighter and faster than their sergeant or knightly allies, the role of Turkopoles was of Jerusalem's limited but invaluable light cavalry: Skirmishing, scouting, and engaging other mounted archers.
{turkopole_descr_short}Light-Medium Horse Archers, better armored than their tribal turkoman kin, but of weaker moral.

{turkopole_archer}Turkopole Archers
{turkopole_archer_descr}Foot Archery has been a weakness of the Kingdom of Jerusalem since the First Crusade, and has been something which could not be supplied adequately from Latin Europe. Thus, the need for something to match the abundance of archery in their foe's ranks was augmented by locals. In Antioch, it was primarily Armenian Christians, and Maronites of Lebanon saw limited service in the ranks of Jerusalem, but those who made up the most of the ranks of bowmen in Outremer were converted Turks, known as Turcopoles.
Fighting both on horseback and on foot, they serve the invaluable if under-respected role of archers to help fight fire with fire. Unlike in the armies of the Turks Turkopoles cannot carry victory to the Crusade, but like the armies of the Turks, the absence of these Turkopoles in the face of a foe's horse archery is a dreadful weakness.
{turkopole_archer_descr_short}Light-medium Foot Archers armed with spear, light shield and composite bow, best used to help defend against enemy horse archers.
