Evolution of the Atlantean Soldier
(1) Archaic Atlantean soldier. After their defeat at the hands of the Ankorians, the Atlantean military was completely overhauled, copying many Ankorian desigsn, the most obvious being the helmet. Armed with a basic thrusting spear and sword. The plumes on the helmet serve to impone the enemy.
(2) Early Atlantean soldier. As the role of the armed forces changed into a more offensive one, equipment was again updated. A new helmet was introduced, providing further protection to the wearer. The soldier is now armed with a throwing spear and a sword for aggressive action.
(3) Classic Atlantean soldier. Due to the ever-expanding size of the Republic, more and more raw materials came to be at the disposal of the army. This is reflected in the equipment of the legionnaries. A steel helmet replaces the former bronze one and every soldier gains acces to a full set of steel armour. These are the juggernauts that fought at the forefront of many Atlantean campaigns.
(4) Imperial Soldier. After the sinking of the Shining City, the armies of the former Republic were pushed back on all sides. It once again became a defensive force. Striving for higher mobility, several items were dropped, most noticeably the heavy armour. This soldier here is wearing a typical felt cap, his helmet is not present. A plethora of different patterns of helmets and armour was in use, reflecting the decentralized nature of the newly-formed Empire of Atlantis, which was in fact centered in its remaining provinces in Morcia. The soldier is armed with a thrusting spear, throwing darts, a sword and a throwing spear for maximal offensive and defensive capabilities. He now sports a round shield, based on barbarian design. After the Sinking, the Empire and its army became increasingly barbaric in nature, as most of the true, pure-blooded Atlanteans had perished.
