Kingdom of Pergamon (Macedonian Wars) Military (Recruitment) Level 3

Hoplite Barracks

These buildings allow the spear drill training of citizens or subjects.

After the age of heroes, when fighting had been about individual valour and battles a brawl rather than a planned encounter, armies were organised into disciplined units. With conflicts between the city-states on the rise, and threats from the outside world, the Greeks created the first hoplites around 700BC. These were free citizens, fighting as infantry who provided their own armour and weapons. There was no standard equipment and these soldiers carried shields and armour emblazoned with family symbols handed down over generations. However, the name 'hoplite' derived from the one piece of equipment they did have in common: the hoplon shield. This circular shield was held so as to protect not only the bearer but also the man to his left. As a single mass, hoplites moved in the famous phalanx formation, marching towards the enemy as one solid wall.

1	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Gre_Archers) Psiloi Toxotai (Greek Archers) Archers are ideal for harassing the enemy from afar, and goading them into foolish action.

5	256	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Gre_Levy_Pike) Epistratoi Phalangitai (Levy Pikemen) It should be counted an honour to defend one's home and family with the pike.

6	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Gre_Light_Hoplites) Ekdromoi Hoplitai (Light Hoplites) Discipline is needed to carry a spear and bear a shield in the phalanx.

7	100	Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Gre_Pergamon_Noble_Cavalry) Somatophylakes Hippeis (Pergamene Companion Cavalry) The Somatophylakes (Bodyguards) are the heaviest cavalry the Attalid dynasty can muster. These nobles have the training and equipment to ride down any foe.""

8	256	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Gre_Pike) Phalangitai (Pikemen) This tightly packed formation of pikemen is a potent clenched fist aimed at an enemy line.

9	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Gre_Skirm_Cav) Hippakontistai (Greek Javelin Cavalry). These speedy, light cavalrymen can do good service in harrying the enemy.

10	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Gre_Tarantine_Cav) Tarantinoi Hippeis (Tarantine Cavalry) These light cavalrymen armed with javelins are rightly held in high regard for their skills.

11	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Gre_Thureos_Cav) Thureophoroi Hippeis (Thureos Cavalry) These mercenary soldiers are wealthy enough to be able to afford horses. While not the heaviest cavalry, they are mobile and carry javelins which allow them to harass nearby enemy formations.
11	120	120	1195	1195				14	85	9	5	26	10	17	44	8	20	45
12	100	Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Gre_Thureos_Cav_Melee) Hippeis Thureophoroi Galathraikes (Light Thureos Cavalry) These Hippeis are skilled Thracian and Galatian skirmishers who harass their enemies with javelins.

14	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Korinth_Hoplites) Pergamoi Hoplitai (Pergamene Hoplites) Hoplites: no other word says Greeks at war in quite the same way.

15	300	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Perg_Chopper) Pergamoi Thureophoroi Machairaphoroi (Pergamene Thureos Swordsmen) Lacking enough citizens for their armies, the rulers of Pergamon hire mercenaries and local tribesmen. This unit is a mix of Galatians, Thracians, and Greeks - both in recruits and equipment. They serve as light assault infantry and are better then their regular counterparts.
15	300	300	622	622								36	11	13	71	3	20	55
16	100	Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Perg_Citizen_Cav) Pergamoi Hippeis (Pergamene Cavalry) The horse-owning rich have the same rights to defend their homes as lesser men in the phalanx.

17	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Perg_Elite_Peltasts) Pergamoi Epilektoi Peltastai (Pergamene Elite Peltasts) Unusually well-armoured skirmishers, these peltasts serve as the assault force of Pergamene armies, the first troops to storm into the fray.
17	175	175	1090	1090				16	95	7	5	36	10	11	84	14	20	65
18	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Perg_Light_Peltasts) Pergamoi Peltastai (Pergamene Peltasts) These skirmishers of Gallo-Thracian origin sensibly withdraw from threats while harrassing the enemy with javelins.

19	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Perg_Peltasts) Phrygioi Peltastai (Phrygian Peltasts) The Phrygians, relatives of the Thracians, have for centuries fought as light infantry and very capable peltasts. The Attalids, who rule a great part of Phrygia, continued the tradition by incorporating Phrygian peltasts in their armies.
19	175	175	906	906				15	90	8	5	32	10	10	67	12	20	50
20	200	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Perg_Thureos_Elite) Epilektoi Thureophoroi (Elite Thureos Spears) These warriors are the first line of an army, strong in defence against cavalry with their spears and deadly from range with their javelins. Relying mostly on light troops, the state of Pergamon arms their best troops with better equipment than other line troops.

21	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Perg_Silver_Shield) Somatophylakes Thorakitai (Elite Bodyguard Infantry) These elite swordsmen are very nimble, and carry javelins and swords. Their heavy armor and great skill in battle makes them perhaps some of the most effective offensive infantry available to the Attalids.
