Base Unit Roster[]

Campaign[]

The changing climate of the Cimmerian homeland compelled its farmers to embrace a life of nomadic pastoralism and foster a culture of fierce warriors to protect their herds. Though native to the northern steppes of the Black Sea, these horse-born nomads rode south through the Caucasus Mountains in pursuit of new pastures and plunder. Recognising the potential for prosperity in Mesopotamia, the Cimmerians now offer mercenary services to those who wish to exploit its perpetual power struggles.

They are the ancient Eastern Iranian equestrian nomadic people originating in the Pontic–Caspian steppe, from whom part subsequently migrated into West Asia. They are typically Iron Age tribes. Real-life Cimmerians would not appear until the 8th to 7th centuries BC.
