Falcata

Page history last edited by MindBomber 16 years, 6 months ago

A number of cultures around the Mediterranean had a type of sickle-sword: the Greeks had the Kopis, Egyptians the Khopesh, the Ḥerev of the Israelites and Canaanites, for example. The one known as the falcata was used by the Iberian mercenaries who were regular allies of the Carthaginians.

 


Status of Set 8

Note: This card was never printed. The final version from the design team has been spoiled to players on the Anachronism forums. There's no telling whether or not this card will be printed, and if it were, that it'd have the same text as the spoiled version.

 

As is, one will notice missing elements, since the card hasn't been finished. There's no artist or flavor text; card names and ability titles are English, rather than Punic.
