The Kushite era of rule in the region +was established after the Bronze Age collapse of the New Kingdom of Egypt, and it was centered at +Napata in its early phase. They invaded Egypt in the 8th century BC, and the Kushite emperors ruled as +Pharaohs of the Twenty-fifth dynasty of Egypt for a century, until they were expelled by the Assyrians. +Kushite culture was influenced heavily by the Egyptians, with Kushite pyramid building and monumental +temple architecture still extent. The Kushites even worshipped many Egyptian gods, including Amun. +During Classical antiquity, the Kushite imperial capital was at Meroe. In early Greek geography, the +Meroitic kingdom was known as Aethiopia. The Kushite kingdom persisted until the 4th century AD, +when it weakened and disintegrated due to internal rebellion, eventually succumbing to the rising power +of Axum. + +UNIT DESCRIPTIONS +----------------- + +### INFANTRY +Archers formed the basic core of Nubian armies that challenged Egypt for control over parts of the Nile +valley, and then conquered Egypt in the 8th century BC, and confronted the troops of the Assyrian +empire. Nubia was the “Land of the Bow”. “Land of the Bow” from the meaning of Ta-Seti, an ancient +Egyptian term used to denote Nubia for thousands of years in antiquity. Nubian archers mostly used +one-piece bows ranging from six to seven feet long, with a powerful draw strength that many of the archers +used their feet to bend their bows. The bows were fabricated from seasoned palm wood, with the arrows +made of cane. Arrows were sometimes poisoned. + +### UNIT TEMPLATES + +| Template | Specific Name | Generic Name | +|---------------------------------------|----------------|-----------------------------------| +| `kush_infantry_archer_a.xml` | Pdty Nhsyw | Nubian Archer **(Advanced)** | +| `kush_infantry_archer_b.xml` | Pdty Nhsyw | Nubian Archer **(Basic)** | +| `kush_infantry_archer_e.xml` | Pdty Nhsyw | Nubian Archer **(Elite)** | +| `kush_infantry_clubman_a.xml` | nhw Noba | Nuba Clubman **(Advanced)** | +| `kush_infantry_clubman_b.xml` | nhw Noba | Nuba Clubman **(Basic)** | +| `kush_infantry_clubman_e.xml` | nhw Noba | Nuba Clubman **(Elite)** | +| `kush_infantry_javelinist_merc_a.xml` | nhw ‘h3w Noba | Nuba Skirmisher **(Advanced)** | +| `kush_infantry_javelinist_merc_b.xml` | nhw ‘h3w Noba | Nuba Skirmisher **(Basic)** | +| `kush_infantry_javelinist_merc_e.xml` | nhw ‘h3w Noba | Nuba Skirmisher **(Elite)** | +| `kush_infantry_pikeman_a.xml` | si3wrd | Meroitic Pikeman **(Advanced)** | +| `kush_infantry_pikeman_b.xml` | si3wrd | Meroitic Pikeman **(Basic)** | +| `kush_infantry_pikeman_e.xml` | si3wrd | Meroitic Pikeman **(Elite)** | +| `kush_infantry_spearman_a.xml` | iry-rdwy Nhsyw | Nubian Spearman **(Advanced)** | +| `kush_infantry_spearman_b.xml` | iry-rdwy Nhsyw | Nubian Spearman **(Basic)** | +| `kush_infantry_spearman_e.xml` | iry-rdwy Nhsyw | Nubian Spearman **(Elite)** | +| `kush_infantry_swordsman_a.xml` | knw hps | Meroitic Swordsman **(Advanced)** | +| `kush_infantry_swordsman_b.xml` | knw hps | Meroitic Swordsman **(Basic)** | +| `kush_infantry_swordsman_e.xml` | knw hps | Meroitic Swordsman **(Elite)** | + + +![Nubian Archer](https://svn.wildfiregames.com/public/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/art/textures/ui/session/portraits/units/kush_infantry_archer.png "Nubian Archer"){: style="height:128px;width:128px"} + +* **Generic Name: Nubian Archer.** +* **Specific Name: Pdty Nhsyw.** +* **Class:** Archer. +* **History:** Bowmen were the most important force component. +* **Garrison:** 1. +* **Function:** Short-ranged Infantry.
