Roughly comparable to the Brutes from Rome, they fought with heavy weapons and were rather slow. Like the Varangians, the Almogavars were Byzantine guards.




Trivia

  • The Almogavars were historically soldiers of Spanish origin. They were known to have worked as mercenaries for the Byzantine Empire.
  • The Almogavars, like the Janissaries - except in some missions - are always found carrying the same weapon: the Almogavar Axe.
  • The Almogavar Axe can also be used as a weapon by completing mercenary faction challanges.
  • It is peculiar that Almogavars use heavy weapons in-game, they used lances and spears historically.
