Chosen Swordsmen are a type of heavy infantry unit available to Britannia, Gaul and Dacia in Rome: Total War.

Description

Chosen swordsmen are the best fighting individuals in their tribe, and armed with the finest swords available.

While superbly skilled and extremely tough, they are not naturally inclined to fight as a group. Personal glory and the need to be first amongst the enemy ensure that they are headstrong and ill-disciplined. They are, however, very well equipped with the finest swords that the smiths can make, along with chainmail armour and large shields. They are an intimidating sight for any enemy.
