军事传统类型

在世界上有七种不同的军事传统，每一个都与一个或多个文化组联系在一起。

蛮族

主条目：蛮族传统

蛮族传统 包括希斯帕尼亚、高卢、不列颠尼亚、日耳曼尼亚以及其他地区的蛮族的战斗方式。他们的战斗主要依靠装备了剑或长矛的大编队轻装步兵，并配以少量灵活的战车或轻骑兵用以支援，他们同时还善于使用伏击战术，尤其是在森林地形中。

印度

主条目：印度传统

印度传统 的主要涵盖对象包括孔雀帝国及其诸邻国，他们善于使用大编队的印度战象来撕碎敌军的阵线，并配以快速移动的战车与弓兵部队对作鸟兽散的敌军进行攻击。同时，印度人也会使用一些十分复杂的阵法，比如传奇的莲花阵。

意大利

主条目：意大利传统

意大利传统 的主要代表是使用精锐重装步兵的伊特鲁里亚、罗马及其他拉丁城邦。这些士兵相比于长矛更善用剑，其主要战斗方式是依靠严密的阵型——比如三线阵——进行迅速的近身战，打散装备较差的地方步兵，同时伴以轻骑兵和其他散兵进行支援。

波斯

主条目：波斯传统

波斯传统 是斯基泰草原上奔驰的男人们应当掌握的武艺，以及前阿契美尼德王朝遗留下来的军事遗产的结合。在草原及其周边的生活铸就了人们精湛的骑射技术，使得他们能够在接敌之前快速穿插并包围敌军，而波斯的步兵队则严阵以待，负责啃啮敌军已经疲惫不堪的军阵。
