Description summary:
The third paragraph varies based on your .

Parabolan InfantryThird paragraph
1 - The Wakeful GentlemenThe Wakeful Gentlemen chuff scorn at the steep slope. [...] they point to their boots to which they have affixed long, thin planks of wood. The resulting melee is perfunctory; victory yours. Your enemy is forced to abandon their position.
2 - The Satrap-SaintsThe Satrap-Saints are not concerned by the slope. […] By subtle beguilement and eery whisper, they lure the enemy up the long climb towards them. Broken by the back-breaking incline, frost-bitten and miserable, the enemy accepts the Saints' temptations […]
3 - The Pax HominesThe Pax Homines are undaunted by the slope. As one, they topple down the mountainside in a clamour of noise and fury. The enemy is dismayed, […] before they are swept away in an avalanche of chessmen. Your enemy is forced to abandon their position.
