That a Druze Shock Team from Infinity, a mercenary unit. They are indeed related to the actual Druze here with us today in real life. One of the things I really appreciate about Infinity is its very diverse universe, with many ethnicities, lots of references to modern day, and some backstory connecting this age to theirs. Tons of games have their Russian, Nazi, and American stereotypes. Not that many games have a unit with a real connection to a relatively obscure religious community in the Levant of which the vast, vast majority of Americans have without doubt never heard. To me that’s definitely one of the ways it really comes through that the game is European (Spanish) in origin.
