Nation Background:
Roimata has been inhabited since the Paleolithic, including
various Ancient Lotanian civilizations and ancient Chartians.
The remnants of Bronze civilizations such as the Thatians,
provide examples of the lives of its citizens and their trade.
After the fall of the Thatians, new states such as Girygia and
Dylia appeared on the western coast as Henat civilization began
to flourish.
The growing Serpian kingdom eventually absorbed them. Following
the Serpian invasion, its expansionism brought it into conflict
with the Henat monarch Abraham the Great who successfully
expelled the Serpians. Although he brought an end to the Serpian
Empire, his reign was short and his empire broke up on his
death. Most of Roimata eventually fell under the Leucid Empire,
the largest of Abraham's territories, but they were driven back
by the Cristobols by 191 BC, most of their lands returning to
local kingdoms such as the Kingdom of Margamum. Cristobol
control gradually strengthened carving out provinces from the
local islands, but the Cristobol Empire was weakened by
successive civil wars and barbarian invasions. These resulted in
periodic divisions of the empire.
In the 4th century, during the reign of Joshua the Great, the
east part of the Cristobol empire established a new capital at
Ahmed. Parting from the West empire the East Cristobol Empire
succeeded to flourish for almost a thousand years.
Uzog Ahm began migrating into Roimata in the context of the
larger Ahm expansion, forming the Ueljuk Empire in the 11th
century AD. After the Ueljuq victory over forces of the
Cristobol Empire in 1071 at the Battle of Amirmoaz, the process
was accelerated. The Ueljuq dynasty controlled Roimata until the
country was invaded by the Steppe Nomads following the Battle of
Fawziya. During the years when the country was under nomad rule,
some small Ahm states were born. One of these states was Roimata
which quickly controlled Eastern Roimata and conquered much of
Western Roimata. After finally conquering Ahmed, the Sultanate
of Roimata would become a large empire.

The Sultan's Army is unwaveringly loyal to the Sultan. The men
are all sons of Military Officers or Nobility and train
constantly. They are ferocious fighters.

The Eastern Army is under command of the Amir Fardouq ibn Halim
al Ahmed. It is a well trained army that has seen combat along
the eastern borders many times.

The Nizam, the legendary Army of the North led by the Amir
Muhammad ibn Halim al Ahmed. Have defeated Armies ten times
their size. Preventing raiders from the Northern Kingdoms to
harass Roimata, while returning thousands of slaves to the
Sultan.

[center]Dahomey Amazons[/center]
Originally formed as a band of elephant hunters, they were
developed into a royal bodyguard recruited from among the
Sultan’s wives, a group of women that sometimes numbered in the
hundreds. Willing volunteers expand this force, while other
recruits are put forward by disgruntled husbands and fathers who
visit the Sultan with tales of spousal misbehavior! The Amazons
are denied the right to marriage once in the regiment, and
religion is used to give them a sense of being sacred.
They are extremely well trained, and inculcated with a very
aggressive attitude. They are ferocious fighters with a
reputation for decapitating those who are unfortunate to become
their captives. Woe betide the foe that underestimates them!

Mountains breed men who are unforgiving to their enemies,
suspicious of strangers and wary around their friends. Life is
hard in the mountains, and it is easier to take something than
build, grow or make it. Banditry, feuds, revenge and murder are
a way of life for many, and the survivors of this harsh school
of life must be tough and uncompromising in their hating. All
this means that they superb in war: deadly shots and dirty
fighters. Any governor who tries to impose order rapidly finds
that hill folk may fight each other, but they will always unite
against the outsider.

These indigenous troops formed hugely effective regiments. In
combat, they typically display unwavering bravery and a
tenacious determination. Often recruited from barren or
mountainous regions, these men are tough and hard working.

[center]Janissary[/center]
As a force, they are the cream of the Roimatta army but, in
comparison to some other nations, they fight in a slightly old
fashioned way. This is small comfort to those who stand against
them, as the janissaries are personally brave to the point of
foolhardiness. They are also given to festooning themselves with
weapons and hurling themselves into any fray! The janissaries
have their own corps of engineers, supply troops and were even
paid regularly, whether they were at war or not!

Such men have little to do with standard military protocols and
practice, or even organization, often taking up arms in
extraordinary circumstances. This lack of discipline means that
they can sometimes be extremely brutal, even brutish, in their
behavior. This can work in their favor, in that it gives enemies
pause for thought. More typically, their lack of discipline
counts against them, and faced with a well-ordered force they
can be at a disadvantage. In such a case, their mobility can be
a boon, allowing them to harass an enemy and withdraw as soon as
the fight goes against them.

[center]Deli Scout[/center]
Easily recognizable by their distinctive animal skins and
feathered shields, these troops are recruited from many peoples.
They have an ethos of personal, rather than collective, bravery.
The animal skins worn include wolf, leopard and bear pelts, and
their winged shields are enhanced by attaching bird feathers to
them. They are armed with scimitars, and these can cause
terrible slashing wounds in hand-to-hand combat. The task of the
scouts, though, is to avoid combat, seek out the enemy and
return with news.
[center]Hills Nomad[/center]
There is a long tradition on the steppes of fighting from
horseback. Children are put in the saddle before they can walk,
and this makes them almost part of the horse. In previous
centuries, accurately firing a bow while riding at speed
requires a man who has exceptional ability with both the weapon
and a horse. Steppe warriors can control their horses using
their knees, and without the need to hold the reins they can use
weapons easily and well. Their tactics have always involved
galloping up to a slower enemy, delivering a devastating volley,
and then riding away again. This way of warfare has survived in
the era of pistols and muskets, although most steppe warriors
carry numerous weapons (if they can) to avoid reloading in the
heat of battle.
[center]Mameluke[/center]
Mounted on tireless light horses and armed with scimitars, they
are commonly employed to harass an enemy force, restricting its
space to maneuver easily. Once battle is fully joined, they will
often time their charges to coincide with those of a supporting
infantry unit, seeking to break the enemy quickly then wreaking
havoc amongst them as they flee.
[center]Sipahi[/center]
They are unswervingly faithful and proudly deserving of their
elite status. Mounted on the finest horseflesh, they carry
ornate lances into battle which are deadly when brought to bear
at the charge. When delivered in the flanks or rear of an enemy
formation, such a charge often proves decisive to the course of
a battle.
