Welcome dear readers and citizens of erevollution. I'm really enjoying this game and want to make it more interesting and enterteining. So, i decided to write a little history guide of my homeland's (Georgia) warfare history. This is my first article if you'll like it I'm going to write more in the future.
Weapons were discovered on the Georgian territory as early as among the archeological finds dating to the 3rd millennium BC. Later in the 2nd millennium, when tribal unions established in the area and social and propitiatory inequality developed in the society, the intensity of wars grew. The process is especially well reflected in the finds dating to the second half of the 2nd millennium and the first half of the first millennium BC, which include almost all basic types of personal weapons lar in Central Asia of those times.
In that period Georgian tribes had close relations with the cultured peoples of the Ancient East. This,naturally, did not exclude military clashes. Assyrian and Urartian kings used to carryout violent raids to the Transcaucasia. Nomadic mounted archers from the north, Cimmerians and Scythians, ped as a hurricane over the Transcaucasia from the north in the 8th-7thcenturies BC. The Georgian tribes fought against the Persians and Greeks from the second half of the 6th century BC and against the Macedonians in the 4th century BC. So, by the time when the Old Georgian or Iberian Kingdom was formed, i.e. by the end of the 4th century,the forefathers of the Georgians had already gained huge military experience through fights against the best armies of the world. This very experience served as a foundation for the military organization of old Georgian Kingdom and art of the warfare of its armed forces. Historical records attest that in the period of Iberian prosperity, at the outset of the new era, the fully mobilized army of the political unit included from 60 000 to 80 000 warriors, one fourth of which were horsemen.
Ancient authors credited Iberian warriors with their outstanding martial skills. Foreigners appreciated Iberian lancers and archers as well as the heavy cavalry of nobles. Iberian infantry, having an excellent command of open battle as well as of guerilla warfare tactics, could successfully fight a cavalry. The social composition and structure of the Georgian army modified along with the development of economic and social relations. The role of the infantry made up from peasants, once the most numerous part of the army, gradually diminished, while the ratio of the noble cavalry increased to make 50-60 percent in the mid1st millennium BC. Little by little the army acquired a feudal nature.
Military engineering was developed in Georgia, which is evidenced by the surviving remains of fortifications.
Flexible military organization, remarkable fighting efficiency, belligerent spirit and the art of warfare,along with the peculiar geographical properties of the country and the advanced fortification system, were among the strategic factors that determined the sustainability and development of Kartli (Iberia) against the background of frequent wars and raids.

Khanjali (ხანჯალი)
is a Georgian reminiscent of the Roman gladius, is owed mainly to the fact that softness of copper and bronze it was originally made of did not allow for longer blades. Later, with introduction of steel, it became longer and narrower, with the blade’s shape starting to resemble that of a poignard. However, its older version, called satevari, refused togive any ground, managing to survive three millenniums and remain as a sidearm. short sword that dates back as far as III century B.C. Its small size.

Br knuckles
commonly known as knuckledusters, were used in Georgia for millennia, being
most widespread in Mtianeti region, where a fighting tradition (not just
boxing, but all-out fighting, frequently with tragic outcomes) has been
carefully preserved over the centuries. More than 12 variations of br
knuckles were discovered in Khevsureti alone. Three prevalent types include
those with rounded tips for combat training, with bladed tips for slashing
strikes and with sharpened spikes for puncturing strikes. Traditional fighting
with br knuckles had numerous rules, many of them quite unsettling – for
example, combatants were advised to aim for the scalp when delivering punches
to the head, so that the hair would conceal the bruises and cuts.

where did you get this map with albania in irak/iran ?
im just curious what Albanians have to say at fact that they are nothing to do with Illiriya , and that they settled in Balkans after Slavs.
for this one you have big sub, v and endorse o7
Top secret, ty for donation! This albania is caucasian albania, and it has nothing to do with the albania we know in Europe..they were instinct centuries ago. You can Google Caucasian Albania if interested.
well ofcourse it has something to do with it, what are chances that 2 same names randomly shows up without any connection as you think? Look at it like this, why there is no random civilisation of same name in euroasia and pre-Columbian america ? Thing is albanians have been brought/settled in balkan from today aisa. Only real old people in balkan today are greeks.
hmm cant tell for sure, unfortunately I know little about balkan history ( I just know that albanians migrated to europe in middle ages)..but there are some conicidences, for example Georgia and state Georgia in USA has nothing in common.
Albanians as europeans and azeris as caucasians same bullshit =D
mengrelian, exactly that, they migrated to europe. So today albanians cant be illiryans, or if they are illiryans than they cant be albanians. Thing is they cant be both.
about US naming states/towns, they used europian names , like York, or even from ancient history, like names of greek city states , egipt etc..so its not really relevant here. Btw if you want lots of subs, votes even money, post this in Serbia/france , there will be lots comments
v very good
interesting . history of georgia has lots of common points with us .
very interesting things for the lovers of the history, well done o7

o7 good job :3
thats the half caucasus right?
o7. Sainteresoa dzan, sg
@Top Secret don t forget Macedonian s too
o7 kargia
Top Secret you know nothing 
. Albania is a name thet other countries set for us..because we call ourselves shqiptar not albanians...it is like saying..deuchland-germany..or comparing with turkey...this name is not set from us but from western countries
. Albania is a name thet other countries set for us..because we call ourselves shqiptar not albanians...it is like saying..deuchland-germany..or comparing with turkey...this name is not set from us but from western countries or is like saying now..kingdom of iberia...they migrated to spain 
...this disscusion is nonsense ...just use you logic a bit...if you have one
...this disscusion is nonsense ...just use you logic a bit...if you have one
v+s
@SupremeLeader +1
Supreme leader there was iberiantribes stretched from caucasus on north africa till modern spain..so rhey may have some common..but caucasian albania and european.. albania is absolutely different matter. I have information about caucasian albania but not about european one...I just know that they have nothing in common exept the name.
@Colchian...about iberian tribes in northen africa is just a theory
100s
@supreme leader, your example of iberia is faulty due to fact that celts lived in most of europe including asia-minor , so there is connection without even looking for it. And i didnt said nor care who albanian are, i just said, and its fact, you cant be from 2 places at once or in this case 2 things at once. And name it self state otherwise. My point was that Albanians ether cant be iliryans or albanians, and you just confirmed that. Interesting point of view as i never seen albanian to deny that he is albanian. Respect to that o7
just one thing, what is reason for Albania getting that name? There has to be some reason, as you said, use your logic , its not bunny from hat
@TopSecret if you dont care then why speak for us...i dont understand that.And mybe you did not undestand me or don t wanted to undestand but i was not saying that i am denying that i am not albanian.It is just the point of view and yours is totally wrong...Albania is our internation name.
Please go read history because like i said before. You know nothing about us and our history.. but i know what you problem is: because slavs come to balkans in middle ages from asia you want to think that all countries did that.but my serbian friend you are wrong.some countries are settled in their countries forever ..never moved (Autochthonous we are...not you...embrace it and live in peace )
)A yea, yet you cant give me answer why Albanians are called Albanians.
Example Croatians are not called Croatians in Croatian language.. that doesnt make them any less of croatians.
About who moved when and where and when it means little, as all people moved from somewhere at some point in time. For example Vicna culture predates Rome, ilirya Greece and Dacia by 5000 years.. so if you want to know who was first, well even if you are ilirian you are not first not by long shot.. So again, my question , if you are willing to answer is, why are albanians called albanians if you have nothing to do with albania? Question is simple, now would you care to answer... there is nothing to be ashamed of... just embrace it and enjoy your life
