Armed in a fashion far closer to that still in use by certain backwater regions of the Middle East, Dorkim Kan'anim Mookdamim form the pillar of Carthaginian military strength on land early in the game. They aren't as hard-hitting as the Greek Hoplitai, but their stronger armour and slightly better LOS should provide Carthage with a sufficiently robust early defensive unit, capable of holding its ground against most infantry units, missile support willing.
