Muster Field

Citizens, subject troops, conscripts and levies muster here for drill and war.

Drawing upon their citizens or subjects, supplemented by mercenaries, Hellenic states could quickly muster troops in times of war. Their generals were usually elected officials or chosen from amongst the nobility. In Athens, the military consisted of the ephebes undergoing training and the older male citizens, led by the ten elected strategoi, or war ministers. Originally these men were hoplites but, following the pattern of Alexander the Great, they developed into the hypaspists, phalangites and thureophoroi over the following centuries. This shift also saw a move to more professional and mercenary troops being used. Wealthier citizens, those able to afford horses, provided the hippeis, or light cavalry, while noble cavalry again followed the Alexandrian model. Mercenaries, such as the Thracians, the Scythian bow-armed police of Athens, or the Galatian royal guard of Cleopatra, supplemented these mustered forces.

3	300	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Gre_Perioikoi_Sword) Symmachoi Thureophoroi Machairaphoroi (Allied Thureos Swordsmen) While Spartan citizens practice almost exclusively hoplite warfare, the same cannot be said about their subject states. These troops are recruited from allies and mercenaries of the Spartan kingdom, fighting in the fashion of other Hellenic swordsmen.

4	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Gre_Periokoi_Spears) Symmachoi Thureophoroi (Allied Thureos Spearmen) While Spartan citizens practice almost exclusively hoplite warfare, the same cannot be said about their subject states. These troops are recruited from allies and mercenaries of the Spartan kingdom, fighting in the fashion of other Hellenic light spearmen.

5	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Gre_Skiritai_Peltasts) Skiritai Peltastai (Skiritai Peltasts) The Skiritai are a people subject to Sparta. They live in Skiritis, a mountainous region located in northern Laconia on the border with Arcadia, between the Oenus and the Eurotas rivers.

6	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Gre_Spar_Skiritai) Skiritai Machairaphoroi (Skiritai Sworsdmen) Skiritai are equal to Perioikoi in their legal status but make up a distinctive part of the Spartan army. They are a reliable force and are often tasked with protecing the most vulnerable parts of a phalanx.

7	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Gre_Spar_Symm_Archers) Symmachoi Toxotai (Allied Archers) Sparta relies heavily on allies and mercenaries when it comes to light support troops. This unit of archers is made up of soldiers of different origins, but is still a powerful ranged force overall.
7	175	175	785	785				9	165	5	15	14	7	6	34	8	20	40
8	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Gre_Spar_Thorax_Sword) Neohomoioi Thorakitai (Spartan Thorax Swordsmen) Sparta during its last decades was more open to ideas of cultural and technological progress. This heavy sword unit is a Spartan interpretation of Thorax troops of other Hellenic factions.

9	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Gre_Spartan_Cav) Homoioi Hippeis (Spartan Cavalry) Sparta is not famous for its cavalry, but it fields some nonetheless. The job of fighting on horseback is relegated to those unfit for the phalanx or as a form on punishment, but their expenses are paid by the wealthier citizens. Due to a lack of proper training and cavalry traditions, these horsemen generally perform poorly.
9	120	120	1241	1241				14	85	8	5	23	9	13	26	10	20	40
10	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Gre_Spartan_Helots) Heilotes (Spartan Helots) Helots are the slaves of the Spartan kingdom. During times of need, the state arms them with weapons and basic means of protection. Their training is limited so that they do not pose a larger threat after the campaign.
10	300	300	328	328								21	9	10	46	1	20	40
11	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Gre_Spartan_Hoplites) Homoioi Hoplitai (Spartan Hoplites) Homoioi, or "Similars," are men with full citizenship Spartan society. They are just a shadow of Sparta's former glory and martial strength, but they still outclass other hoplites.
11	200	200	1044	1044								30	9	15	72	12	20	60
12	200	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Gre_Spartan_Youths) Spartiatai Epheboi (Spartan Youths) Young Spartans, not yet ready to fight in a proper phalanx, are tasked with chasing off skirmishers in battle. Their tactics are one inspiration for the Iphicratean reforms of heavier peltasts. Due to their lighter equipment and extensive training, they are able to catch up with light units of other nations - not many can outrun them.
