To this very day Remas and the Great cities of Tilea continue to be cultural centers of the Old World. The great days of the Reman empire have been all but forgotten.
Battles fought using the Reman Legions are based upon those tactics and troop types found during the Golden Age of Remas (Approx years: -1400 to -1100). The Remans never learned the ways of the wizard, their Priests only had minimal sway with the Gods and could not perform any sizable magical feats that would be of use on the battlefield. However the Remans did poses Siege technology like the Onager and used massed swordsmen infantry formations to break the spirits and the bones of their enemy. Leadership, pride in one’s country, determination and genius battlefield tactics were the greatest strengths of the Reman Empire.
