Imperial Legions

Imperial soldiers: light infantry, heavy infantry, and heavy cavalry

The Legions are the military backbone of the Achaean Empire. Though sometimes referred to collectively as "the Legion," the term "legion" means a single unit of around 5,000 soldiers, usually stationed at a Legionary Fort.
