For the local units:















Shields were covered with metal bands or narrow plates, but were Argive Aspis in shape. In the 2nd-1st centuries BC metal umbones appeared...

Obviously these guys wouldn't have had as much training when it comes to formation, instead they would fight in a more mobile manner, compared to Argive Hoplitai...

In My Messages there is only one from september, which I answered back then and nothing more...

There are no new messages, which ones are you referring to?

The people of Kolkhis were for the most part Kartvelian highlanders (reading about the armies facing Pompeivs Magnvs in the east would be a start), some having however experienced a larger degree of urbanisation. While the coastal people had been Hellenised to a little. Here larger bronze-faced shields have been discovered, but there still would've been perishable materials used as armour too...

As far as archaeology goes axes and swords seems to have been the majority, plus javelins of course...

The Satevari dagger seems to have been a status symbol even back then...

There are indications for the possible use of wooden helmets and there definitely existed body armour made of flax...

Cavalry in Kolkhis proper wasn't employed particularly, at most mounted javelineers with hide shields...

What is the exact startdate of RTR? 281 BC?

Possible capitals could be Kutaisi or Tsikhekhuji imo...

And the ports could be either Phasis or Dioskourias...

Greetings everyone ^^
