There is mention of slave units in the Unit list in barkhorns thread....
Either they are real slave units, or slavic units..

I don't think the Slavs were around at this time....

If you should stand then who's to guide you?

The Slavs were around, they were known as the Veneds at the time. IIRC they were living in parts of Poland and the Baltics during the game's timeframe. They were far from the borders with Rome of course.Originally Posted by Steppe Merc
The slavs IIRC came into being after the huns tore threw the area of the russian steppes in the 5th century. The hunnic invasion by the way that caused large numbers of germans and goths to move into the roman empire and weaken the western half fatally. I'm not sure what caused the slavs and the Magyar/Ungyar to migrate out of the Russian steppes they did, in the dark ages.
As for slavery in RTW it was far to prevalent in the ancient world not to be included. Hell greek and roman civilization were built by slave labour.

Roman Legionnaires received a portion of the profits from selling captured enemy into slavery. A veteran Legionnary depended on that extra income for a comfortable retirement. You can guess the effect this had on morale as well.
