Island Skirmishers are a type of infantry unit in a Total War Saga: Troy.

Description[]

Highly mobile and able to hunt down even the mighty charioteers themselves, javelinmen played a critical role on the battlefields of the Late Bronze Age. Javelins, often carried in pairs by Achaean soldiers, were shorter and lighter than thrusting spears; they could be thrown, or wielded with deadly efficiency at close range in conjunction with figure-of-eight shields. The ranged weapons were favoured by skirmishers, who employed them with brutal efficiency to harass enemies at a distance before closing in for the kill.
