ELI,

JUST OUT OF INTEREST, WHAT UNITS WOULD YOU ADVOCATE FOR A 'HEBREW' CIVILISATION?

i WOULD PERSONALLY ADVOCATE THE UNIT THAT RESISTED THE ROMANS AT MASSADA IN 70AD, BUT WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT?#

OR A 'KHAZAR' UNIT, NAMED AFTER THE TURKIC TRIBE THAT CREATED HISTORY'S LARGEST JEWISH NATION.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

M.S.B.
YORKSHIRE
ENGLAND
U. K. N.I. & G. B.

DON'T WE ALL LOVE CAPS? Seriously, that's annoying.

Regarding the Hebrew units: I have no clue

Joshua and his Army. They destroy Jericho with a shout.

Sorry for annoying you - the caps were a result of unlimited alchohol consumption. It looks like I was shouting, which I wasn't.

Still, anyone any ideas about such a unit?

It may be a zealot (that's what the rebells were called), but they were, shall we say, pretty ineffective, as Jerusalem was subsequently razed.

However, this thread should be moved to the Civilizations forum, don't you think?

Slingers, shmingers. The Hebrew special unit is --- Ladies & Gentelmen --- please WELCOME ---

the MERKAVA battle tank.

They have thought that one out.
Envy of all. Developed in 1960, still in production and used only by the Israeli army.

But the special unit should reflect the civilization Golden Age which for the Hebrews hardly is now (I would guess for something closer to David or Salomon )

Evil Zionist Occupier of course.

Well, I dont know. This is the major problem with including Hebrews... No special unit. The Golden Age is the days of the first Temple. But again, no special unit.

But you can always come up with something. I mean, they took bowmen for Babylonians almost from the top of the hat and it (rather) works.

Eli, correct me if I am wrong, but the Hebrews fought mainly on foot, not from horses? So it should be either some special spearman or swordsman. Now, all you have to do is to work on it

(BTW, so people on other threads suggested some prophets that would call fire from sky etc. but this is ridiculous - after all every civilization would have such myths about its priests and miracles which does not mean they were true)

Then it would be much better if Russia got the Cossacks instead of the MiG.
