Armies of the Hyborian Age
By Mike Stelzer
All of the armies are based on the armies of the Hyborean Age created by
Robert E. Howard. A large number are derived from the game rules "Royal
Armies of the Hyborean Age" by Lin Carter and Scott Bizar for Fantasy Games
Unlimited. They also contain material derived from a Dragon magazine article,
which added to "Royal Armies of the Hyborean Age". As well as material
from the books and stories of Conan by R. E. Howard and other authors. And the
stories in the Comics by Marvel set in the World of Conan.
There are several good Conan and Hyborean Age web sites online. A couple of
the have geographical maps and more geographic information than I provide
here.
First this is a very detailed world; R.E. Howard mapped and wrote about the
major nations that the original stories took place in extensively. But there are
some exceptions or differences from the original, many other writers have added
to the story line. In doing so some contradictory information has been created,
I have attempted to keep this list as simple as possible and follow the spirit
of the original books. In doing so I have only added the magic or pure fantasy
elements when they are a well-documented part of the national make up, but even
then as choices and not required units.
A note about Allies, enemies, terrain and borders. The boundaries given in
the Howard stories were in constant flux, these were nations that wanted to grow
and expand their borders. And in several stories borders were crossed to attack
the nation on the other side, so borders are just outlines of the areas of
control, not fixed like modern day borders. Most of these nations were much like
the Italian City States, in that they were always plotting with and against each
other. The Allies listed are those they are least likely to attack and most
likely to work with. The enemies are the opposite, the ones least likely to be
worked with and most likely to be at war with. The terrain given in each case is
the predominate terrain and does not reflect the whole of any nation. These
nations were much larger than those of our Middle Ages. I have created a
Political Map of the Hyborean Age, it does not include provinces, city-state
boundaries or tributary areas. The numbers after each army's name is its
location on the map.
The notes after each army will include the type of figures that most reflect
that nations look. These are in some cases well documented and in others very
sketchy. The same is true of the flags, some are well documented, others are
mention but never described. The notes will also include the use of Free
Companies in the armies.

Army Lists and Notes
Free Companies
In those nations allowed to use Free Companies, any unit you want may be
traded for one mercenary unit. The Mercenary unit is of their choice except
Artillery, which was used only in sieges, and warwagons, which are not
mentioned. This Free Companies are not allies and are much more faithful to
their contracts then real ones. In many of the stories the mercenary units
fought to the last man.
Afghulistan and Ghulistani Tribes (47)
Hilly Ag:3 E: Turan, Vendhya, Ghulistani A: Ghulistani, Afghulistan Afghulistan:
4x 3Wb(Gen), 6x 3Ax, 2x 2Ps or 2LH Ghulistani: 4x 3Ax (Gen), 6x 3Ax, 2x 2Ps or

Littoral Ag:3 E:Mayapan, Aquilonia, Argos A:none
1x 4Bd, 2x 4Bd, 7x 5Wb, 2x 2Ps or 3Bw
Notes: This is an Aztec type army. Their ships are for raids, the capture
of slaves and sacrificial victims. Full army would most likely be seen in a
major yearly raid or in defense of nation. Flags, Aztec style totems or
banners would be used.

2x 4Bd(Gen), 4x 4Ax, 4x 2Ps or 3Bw, 1x 2Ps, 1x 2Ps or Art
Notes: A pirate nation, think Blackbeard without guns. This collection of
thieves is both more and less organized than the originals. No nation controls
their base of operations the Barachan Islands, because of that they do have
the ability to organize peacefully. They are less organized in that once
outside the islands they will attack each other with as much glee as a
merchant ship. This becomes even more likely if the Captains involved have a
blood feud with each other. The only nation to include Art as they use it
aboard ship and if necessary would use it on land. Flags look at all the old
pirate flags, Black and Red types dominate.
