{makuria_padded_spearmen}Makurian Spearmen
{makuria_padded_spearmen_descr}The Kingdoms of the Mediterranean and lands north of the Sahara have turned to Black Africa for spearmen since the times of the Pharaoh. Chiefly through the practice of slavery, but also through the use of mercenaries, the men known as 'Zanji', 'Nubians', or 'Aethiopians', have continued to find service as stalwart and iron-willed spearmen while their warrior-peers have faded or disappeared from war. As their ancestors had done for centuries, these men of Nubia march forth with spear and shield, light of armor, but strong of heart and mind.
These Makurian Spearmen are not poor, like so many spearmen of so many other armies are. Their ranks are filled of men of the low to high middle class, consisting of those who can afford armor which, though less compared to their peers in the north, is far more than what much of the polarized society of Christian Nubia can afford.
As their economic origins are mixed, so too are their individual origins. Consisting of Muslim, Christian, and even Pagan Nubian, a common land unites those of divided religions. A common purpose too unites those that have always lived as free men of Africa, and those that once served the Fatimids. With Saladin's conquest of the Ismaili Caliphate, those Black Africans who served the Fatimids with distinction remained loyal, and suffered for such dedication following their failed coup. To spare their lives and their cause of dispatching the usurping Kurdish General, many fled south to join with Christian Nubia, whether to spread the world of the Prophet, or to be
It may seem peculiar, for Muslims to fight alongside Christians against Muslim. But to the Shi'ite Sudanese who saw what the Sunni Saladin did to their Caliph and their kingdom, and it seems perfectly clear why these Muslim Leopards and Christian Lions would seek to eject the Kurdish Jackal and Turkish wolves that prowl upon the throne of Africa.
{makuria_padded_spearmen_descr_short}Light-Medium Spearmen whose iron-will and disciplined training make up for their shortcomings in armor.

{makuria_padded_lancers}Alwa Horsemen
{makuria_padded_lancers_descr}As the longbow is to the Makurians, or the sword to the Ethiopians, the horse's reigns is forever to be found in the hands of any man of worth in the kingdom of Alwa. Though little known amongst the kingdoms of Africa, Alwa's presence has been felt in Egypt as much as Makuria's has. A kingdom remarked by Ibn Hawqal in the late 900s as being larger, wealthier, and more powerful than Makuria, it was this region of Nubia from where much of their cavalry was recruited, the middle and upper class of Alwa more than ready to assist their brethren in defending and attacking the Egyptians.
These horsemen of the Alwa are something like a glass sword - exceptionally made, sharp and swift, yet unable to stand up to harder, firmer metals. Though their heavily quilted armor, shields, and experience counts for much, it still is faded in comparison to the heavier armors and shields of their northern peers. The best use of such horsemen is not the charge from the front, nor the sluggish strike to the flanks or rear, but to work swiftly and strongly, operating as a hybrid of light and medium cavalry.

{makuria_padded_archers}Makurian Longbowmen
{makuria_padded_archers_descr}There may be little other a weapon so held in the hearts and spirits of Makuria as their longbows. As had the Composite bow been what led the Turks to establish their Seljuk Empire, it was the longbow that kept the Nubians from being part of another's great empire. That empire was the Rising Caliphate, and that loss of the Arabs at the Battle of the Dongola at the hands of the Nubian Longbow was the only major defeat suffered by an Arab Army in the first century of Islamic Expansion.
In that battle the Nubians had used speed and stealth to defeat their foes. Yet these longbowmen of contemporary Makuria stand with the same resolve and spirit of their ancestors, yet hold the strength to stand out and do battle in the open, trusting in their brethren with spears to hold the line, and their powerful longbows to send forth volley after volley upon their foes. And if battle should come before them, then they would not hesitate to bring forth shield and sword and engage their foes.
{makuria_padded_archers_descr_short}Exceptional Archers wielding the accurate and deadly longbow of Nubia, well armored compared to their bow and javelin-armed peers, and capable light infantry if forced into melee.

{makuria_levy_spearmen}Beja Tribesmen
{makuria_levy_spearmen_descr}A nomadic people having lived along the Red Sea since the time of the Pharaohs, the Beja have come to be known by a multitude of names by a multitude of peoples, from ancient Greece to Rome and Byzantium, as well as the Arabs and Turks. Throughout the centuries they have remained a nomadic people, experienced upon horse and camel back.
But always are there many of a tribe who cannot afford a horse or camel, and who turn to war or pillage as a matter of attaining wealth and status. They are driven, tenacious, and spirited, but only when the going goes well. A fickle flame burns in the hearts of these tribesmen, quick to snuff out if casualties are suffered, but just as quick to burn bright and scorch their foes if the fuel that drives them is powerful and plentiful.
{makuria_levy_spearmen_descr_short}Ill-disciplined unarmored spearmen, best used on the attack or in support of more capable spearmen.

{makuria_levy_javelinmen}Afari Skirmishers
{makuria_levy_javelinmen_descr}Compared to the Makurians or the Beja, the Afari have a much more recent arrival into the politics of the region, their ancestors having arrived to settle in the highlands of Ethiopia some time before 1000 AD. At first raising livestock, they began a gradual transition into a nomadic lifestyle. As a result, they've come to be involved in many conflicts with neighboring tribes and peoples.
While those higher in status amongst the Afari have the experience and limited weaponry to fare better in combat, the majority are simple nomads, affording only the waistcloths of their culture, and simple weapons perfectly suited to hunting or tribal battles where your foe is similarly armed.
{makuria_levy_javelinmen_descr_short}Unarmored Nomads used to tribal feuds and hunting, brave enough before they realize most every foe they face will be better armed and armored than they.

{makuria_levy_longbowmen}Sudanese Longbowmen
{makuria_levy_longbowmen_descr}As the composite bow has been held in high regards by the Nomads for centuries, and remained forever useful, so too has the longbow been held in high regards by the Nubians, and remained forever useful. It would seem eternally the weapon of the Makurian's and their ancestors, becoming recognized in the centuries, if not Millennia, prior to Christ and Muhammad's arrival. But the past of this weapon, and even the present, are easily faded by the brilliance of its use centuries ago, in 652. Where Sassanian, Byzantine, Visigoth, Indian, Turk, and other peoples had been beaten by the Arabs in the first 100 years of Islamic Expansion, it was in Nubia where this trend was reversed.
Through Hit-and-run attacks, and Guerrilla warfare, the Nubians would leave a lasting impression of their archery skills upon Arabs, the Historian Balazuri remarking that "they would shout to the Muslims where would they like to be hit by their arrows, and where the Muslims mockingly named some part of the body, the arrow invariably struck there to the great grief of the Muslim who had mockingly challenged the Nubians to hit him." So skilled were they that noted for their ability to blind their opponents by shooting for their eyes that a nickname was given to them by the Arabs - "Rumat al-hadaq", or "Pupil-Smiters".
In the traditions of their stout ancestors, these tribesmen of the Sudan wield the same longbows and fight in the same manner, lacking armor save for the occasional helmet, but remedying such a weakness by fighting from the forests and shrubs as guerrilla marksmen. With sufficient guard from they and their enemies, these Archers could serve in open-battle, but their lack of armor or shield remains a weakness in the face of oncoming arrows.
{makuria_levy_longbowmen_descr_short}Unarmored Archers from the lands of Nubia. Poor in receiving enemy attacks, but exceptional archers great at guerrilla fighting.

{makuria_tribal_warriors}Sudanese Tribal Warband
{makuria_tribal_warriors_descr}The tribes of the Sudan are many, with the additions of the Northern Bedouin, Eastern Beja, or Southern Ethiopians adding to the diverse mix. With many being semi or wholly nomadic, conflicts are common, be they be within Nubia itself or with its neighbors. Such tribal feuding has hardened the martial spirit of the tribesmen of Nubia, the wealth and prestige of warfare elevating a number of individuals out from the poverty suffered by many of the nomadic tribes of the Sudan.
Beyond their savage appearance, that which would be most likely to strike fear into their enemies hearts is the wicked-looking sword wielded by these warriors of Nubia, known as the Shotel. Looking like a dramatized scimitar, its deep and long curve gave it the ability to hook around an opponent's shield and stab them in their vital organs, on top of swinging and slashing like a normal sword. But such swords come out of their scabbards only after their light but hard-hitting javelins find their foe.
Lacking entirely in discipline, these warbands more than make up for it in courage and fervor. Able to switch from skirmishers to light infantry with fluidity, their lack of armor is compensated with their fighting strength.
{makuria_tribal_warriors_descr_short}Unruly and aggressive light infantry, able to swiftly change from skirmishers to light infantry best used to out maneuver their foes.

{makuria_tribal_macemen}Dembus Macemen
{makuria_tribal_macemen_descr}The weapons wielded in East Africa are richly varied, from short sword and buckler, short and long spear, a straight and curved sword, to axes, and one of the more unique weapons for the region - the two handed mace known as the Dembus, or Lutat. With a 3 foot staff, and heavy metal head varying in make, it is a heavy-duty weapon, a way for the peoples of the region to even the playing field against their more-armored peers in the north. Such humility had been taught to the Frankish Crusaders by Sudanese soldiers in the service of the Fatimids, wielding the Lutat mace with great success against the Crusader's horses.
Their peers in Makuria wield the same weapon, referring to it as the Dembus, and wield it to the same deadly effect against both infantry and cavalry, their nature wholly offensive-oriented as they lack armor or a shield.
Without such defenses nor the presence of a spear point, these warriors are poor in absorbing an enemy charge, but woe to the horsemen who dally long enough to let them descend upon them like ravenous wolves, and crack bone and armor of horse and rider.
{makuria_tribal_macemen_descr_short}Aggressive shock-infantry armed with the two-handed Dembus mace, a weapon vicious against cavalry as well as infantry.

{makuria_tribal_cavalry}Omoro Raiders
{makuria_tribal_cavalry_descr}Much as the Ayyubids and Kingdoms of the North have beyond the lands of their own rule to draw from to fill their armies, so too does the Kingdom of Makuria field soldiers from not just their own lands. Much of their strength arrives from their fellow Nubian Kingdom of Alwa, and much too comes from the Ethiopians to the south. One such ally are the Oromo, one of the largest of ethiopia's many peoples.
Their ancestry is one established long ago, far beyond the records of history, being perhaps the original people of which most others of this part of East Africa originate from.
For so large a people, there is not one single way of life, but many take to a pastoralist or nomadic existence, a way of living which extends to their manner of warfare. Made hearty from their nomadic lifestyle, with skills honed on the hunt and on their frequent raids into Abyssinia, these tribesmen of the Oromo are well-experienced horsemen, wielding javelin and deadly shotel as they operate as skirmishing cavalry not afraid to charge in and do battle on a disoriented foe.
{makuria_tribal_cavalry_descr_short}Light cavalry skirmishers, good on the attack be it with sword or javelin, but with poor armor, they cannot stand up in a pitched melee. Best used to harass and harry the enemy.

{makuria_light_spearmen}Tigrayan Levies
{makuria_light_spearmen_descr}Prestige and respect may not show upon the arms and lack of armor of these light spearmen, but from their blood had seen the birth of Ethiopian civilization. Their earliest ancestors, and the first kingdom of Abyssinia was that of D'mt in the 8th century BC. The Axumites, the primary power in East Africa until the rise of Islam, had been centered in the lands of Tigray in Northern Ethiopia. Though the spearmen which hail from these lands may look humble, theirs is a land strewn with the remains of extensive palaces, ancient places of worship, and towering stelae. With origins traced to King Menelik, the child of King Solomon, faith and piety have grown strong in the soils of Tigray, with such vines of their othodox beliefs entwining themselves around all aspects of Society. Those rock-hewn churches on the hilltops of villages often forms the nucleus of all processes of the villages of the Tigrayan Highlands.
A faithful people of Christ, the incursions of Muslim Bedouin, Beja, and Egyptians have not gone unnoticed, and many a Tigrayan would be found in the ranks of Makuria, assisting the first-line of defense against the Muslims of the North. With their bodies hardened by the rugged landscape of their grassy highlands, and their hearts and minds strengthened by their piety, these light spearmen of Tigray lack the armor or nomadic savagrey of other tribal peoples of Nubia and Abyssinia, yet are fleet of foot and strong of spirit. Their role is best utilized as offensive infantry in rugged terrain, or as light spearmen to support heavier allies in open battle.
{makuria_light_spearmen_descr_short}Light rugged spearmen, not the best at holding a line but superb as mobile support for heavier infantry, both attacking as well as defending against less heavy foes.

{makuria_light_javelinmen}Amhara infantry
{makuria_light_javelinmen_descr}For the Makurian Armies, much of their allied troops arriving from Ethiopia are of the Amhara people, who have consistenly been the politically and culturally dominant ethnic group of Abyssinia since having established the Kingdom of Aksum in the 1st century AD. Many of the ranks of these Amharan Infantry hail from the harsh and stark mountains of Ethiopia where they etch out an existence as hardy farmers, easily defending their rugged homes but having it difficult to travel or trade.
Despite not being as aggressive as the semi or wholly nomadic tribesmen of Eastern Africa, these Amharans are by no means meek. Their demanding lifestyles have afforded them a great vitality, and settled existence has offered access to good shields, javelins, and swords. Amhara Infantry choose to fight as light and mobile infantry, able to skirmish as well as close in with swords against light and medium foes.
{makuria_light_javelinmen_descr_short}Light Hybrid Infantry, armed with a straight sword, buckler, and a set of javelins. Well suited to an offensive or light defensive role, be it as skirmishers or as infantry.

{makuria_light_cavalry}Axumite Light Cavalry
{makuria_light_cavalry_descr}Islam has had relations with Axum since before the armies of the Rashidun Caliphate reached the lands of Nubia. According to ibn Hisham, the 9th century historian of the Prophet Muhammad, when Muhammad faced oppression from the Quraish clan, he sent a small group including his daughter Ruqayya and her husband Uthman ibn Affan to Abyssinia, where the king of Axum gave them refuge and protection, refusing the request of the Quirash clan to send them back to Arabia. Though they returned in 628, six years since the Hijra to medina, many remained in Ethiopia and eventually settled in Negash in eastern Tigray.
There are different views of the effect these early Muslims had on Axum, or the effect Axum had on these refugees. Many Muslims will comment that the ruler of Axum was so impressed with his guests he became a secret convert, while some Ethiopians comment that the refugees became the first known converts of Islam to christianity. A third tradition is that upon the death of Ashama ibn Abjar, the ruler of Axum, Muhammad was reported to have prayed for the King'ds soul, and told his followers to "Leave the Abyssinians in Peace, as long as they do not take the offensive".
Whomever the aggressor should be in the battles fought by the successors of Ashama ibn Abjar's kingdom, these horsemen of the faded kingdom of Axum shall be found in the ranks of the Nubians. Due to the rise of the Islamic dominance in the naval trade with the Far East, and their cutting off of access to Axum's principal markets of Alexandria, Byzantium, and Southern Europe, the kingdom of Axum has come to be no more, the focus of Ethiopian civilization shifting further land.
As a result, these cavalrymen are not as well armed or trained as their brethren in Alwa, Makuria, or Abyssinia. They are best utilized as light cavalry able to harass and harry skirmishers or routers, and not necessarily to strike and retreat as the horsemen of Arabia or other lands of Nubia do.
{makuria_light_cavalry_descr_short}Light cavalry, better used to harass or harry skirmishers and light infantry, and not commit to rapid attack and withdrawl.

{makuria_knights_swordsmen}Abyssinian Champions
{makuria_knights_swordsmen_descr}The society of Makuria and much of Christian Nubia is highly stratified, with the very limited rich exceptionally rich and the very abundant poor exceptionally poor. Little exists of a middle class, leaving the wealth that would go to those middle-of-the-road citizens in the hands of the Nobility. Their financial presence has afforded them access to the best that can be found. From their Christian Brethren in Outremer come Frankish Heavy Mail, Long hauberks that cover the whole of the body and whose glisten and glimmer of finely-crafted mail links seem to reflect the immense wealth of the wielder. Beneath which lies thick aketons of leather and cloth. Though the history of Makuria and the Islamic Powers of Egypt is rife with conflict, up until the arrival of Saladin there was much trade exchanged between the Nubians and the latest kingdom to prop up in northern Africa. From the Muslims come the ornate and strong shields worn by these Warriors, as well as the brilliant silks and cottons which further display their regal presence. Yet the weapons they trust in are not Frankish nor Saracen but firmly Nubian and Abyssinian, the extensions of their martial pride and spirit suited only to be born of the lands of the warriors who shall wield them.
With more than a few Nubians having gone to the Kingdom of Jerusalem on pilgrimage or Crusade. Perhaps a contrast to their European counterparts, these Abyssinian Champions have much more restraint and discipline than the rowdy nobles of the North, with the strong presence of the Emperor in Makurian society a contrast to Knights who think they are kings without a kingdom.
{makuria_knights_swordsmen_descr_short}Excellent Heavy infantry of Makuria's Nobility, exceptionally armored in Frankish mail and Saracen Helmets, wielding the fine-edged two handed swords of Abyssinia and Nubia.

{makuria_beja_swordsmen}Beja Tribal Warband
{makuria_beja_swordsmen_descr}A nomadic people having lived along the Red Sea since the time of the Pharaohs, the Beja have come to be known by a multitude of names by a multitude of peoples, from ancient Greece to Rome and Byzantium, as well as the Arabs and Turks. Throughout the centuries they have remained a nomadic people, experienced upon horse and camel back, watching the rise and fall of empires and dynasties, while ever remaining a potent presence in Egypt and the Sudan. Three tribes consitute the "Beja Proper" or those of the Beja whose origin is Hamitic, or with the ancient inhabitants of North Africa, and not the Arabs or other Semitic peoples. They are the Hadendowa - the most numerous and powerful and those who tend cattle, sheep, and camels, and the Amar'ar and Bisharyyin of whom raise mostly camels.
Over the centuries of Islamic rule over Egypt, there has been a trickling of Bedouin that has come to intermarry into the Beja, assisting in the gradual absortion of Islam by the Beja ever since it first arived into Africa. Though once largely Christian, the majority of Beja are now Muslim, the earlier influences of Byzantium in their culture and military replaced by that of the Arabs. Though largely pastoralists, with a history of fighting upon horseback and camel back, the Arabic ability and sometimes even preference to fight on foot as medium infantry has come to rub off on the Beja, with many of the tribesmen with some Arabic ancestry opting to dismount for battle. Clad in mail, wielding long straight sword and light mobile shield, the these upper class tribesmen of the Beja are an adept medium infantrymen, whose value makes them best utilized on the offense or flanking a foe preoccupied with a weaker and lighter spearmen or infantrymen.
{makuria_beja_swordsmen_descr_short}Medium swordsmen best utilized as offensive infantry, or in support of cheaper infantry to absorb the enemy's attack.

{makuria_beja_cavalry}Bisharyyin Camel Chargers
{makuria_beja_cavalry_descr}A nomadic people having lived along the Red Sea since the time of the Pharaohs, the Beja have come to be known by a multitude of names by a multitude of peoples, from ancient Greece to Rome and Byzantium, as well as the Arabs and Turks.

They are the Hadendowa - the most numerous and powerful and those who tend cattle, sheep, and camels, and the Amar'ar and Bisharyyin of whom raise mostly camels.
Though not the most numerous or powerful as the Hadendowa, the Bisharyyin are famed for raising the best riding camels in the Arab world, and attest to such a reputation by riding their fine-quality steeds into battle. The Beja are one of few peoples who charge with their camels as Frankish Knights would upon their horses, wielding these rugged and hardy beasts with the same finess as the nomads of the steppe who spend all their life upon a horse. Clad in mail, with shield, long sword and spear, their quality arms and armor are assisted by the martial abilities of these pastoralists. But a virtue of theirs unable to be bought or sold is that of their hardened mind and body from etching out an existence in the deserts of the Red Sea Hills, a quality of which will keep them fighting strong when many other better armed or armored foes shall be thoroughly exhausted.
{makuria_beja_cavalry_descr_short}Strong Medium-Heavy camel Riders, with an excellent charge, great stamina, and strong close-quarters abilities.

Собственно мега-кусок про Макурию:
