Creature:Tragnon/Infantry

The Tragnon Soldiers
From the first settlements, to the present, the military was very important for the Tragnons. Most of the military was, of course, the infantry. Using many different types of Weapons, it is one of the most technologically advanced army. It is counting more than 180.000 soldiers, in different units, types and rankings. There you will find all soldier rankings and types.

Auxiliary soldier
The auxiliary soldiers make about one half of whole Tragnon army. They are trained, but not very much, and they are equipped often with very old weapons, such as maces, bows, or crossbows. Every Tragnon must have basic military training, and if the war will begin, most of them will become the auxiliary soldiers. They are generally secondary forces, what are defending the prime forces and attacking the enemy from sides. They are not very skilled, and not trained well for frontal attacks, so most of them are easy targets. The types of them include Auxilia Macemen, who are armed with the maces, and attack enemy usually from sides, Auxilia Archers, what are used on the city walls as archers, or in the back lines, to fire arrow storms on the enemy, or to crush him from the sides. Some of them also have crossbows, but they are generally used for the more skilled units.

Primary soldier
Just a step above the auxiliary units. They were many years part of Tragnon army, and are enough skilled to be used for frontal attacks, to fight on the animals, or to use cannons. They are the backbone of Tragnon nation. The army has about 70.000 of them. They are very universal, but prefer to fight in specialised units. They are all trained in the military camp in Ooron, on the far north of northern mountains. They are divided to Crossbowmen, what shoot on the enemy from enforced crossbows, better than normal, and are much more effective than basic archers, Mounted macemen, the horsemen armed with maces, sometimes monster ones, Naval soldiers, what are the military part of the ship crew, Hand Gunners, what fire the hand guns/dwarf culverins, Cannoneers, the ones who fight and use the cannons, from culverins to the monster bombards, and Arquebusiers, the ones what use strong guns, the arquebuses. They attack together, in very well organised army.

Basic Elite
These are much more than basic soldiers. They are equipped with the best known weaponry, and the strongest defences. They fight in the strongest frontal lines, as the best choice to use there. There are only about 8.000 of them. They are trained many years in the Ooron and in the many battlefields and wars. Not many soldiers are skilled like this. They also make guards in Enthopea and other Tragnon cities. They are divided to Prime cannoneers, the elite of the all cannoneers, the Prime arquebusiers, the most skilled and trained light gunners, and the strongest of them, the Musketeers, what are equipped by the very strong muskets.

Supreme Elite
The Supreme Elite make the strongest and most skilled Tragnon unit. There are only about two hundred of them, everyone of them fought for the kingdom for decades, and killed hundreds of enemy soldiers. They act as the personal bodyguards of the most powerful Tragnons, like Cardinal, Diplomat, and the king. They are armed by the gold covered, platinium rifles, the most elite weapon in the whole army. The rifle is very expensive to afford, but also very efficient in the killing of enemy soldiers.
