Seleucid Empire (Macedonian Wars) Military (Recruitment) Level 4

Royal Barracks

The training and quartering of elite troops requires the proper surroundings.

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.

17	100	Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Gre_Politikoi_Elite_Cav) Politikoi apo Antiokheia he Megale (Seleucid Citizen Cavalry) This cavalry consists of those richest citizens who do not hold the legal status of 'Macedonians.' Citizen cavalry of this sort has been seen at the Daphne parade and in this case, is probably just from Antioch and not recruited from all of the coastal cities. The Politikoi are not organised into regiments; instead, they are a collection of separate squadrons, with each squadron having its own distinctive dress and equipment.

19	200	200	1367	1367								40	10	15	90	18	20	60
20	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Gre_Shield_Bearers) Hypaspistai (Shield-Bearers) A powerful, reliable force of hoplites who can be counted on in almost any situation.

21	256	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Gre_Silver_Shield_Pike) Argyraspides Phalangitai (Silver Shield Pikemen) These veteran pikemen are rarely matched in quality or courage on a battlefield.
21	256	256	1215	1215								36	9	13	63	16	20	65
22	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Gre_Silver_Shield_Sword) Argyraspides Thorakitai (Silver Shield Swordsmen). These veterans fight in the Roman style, and do so with fortitude.

25	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.
25	120	120	1195	1195				14	85	9	5	26	10	17	44	8	20	45
26	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.

30	256	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Gre_White_Shield_Pike) Leukaspidai (Greek White Shield Pikemen) A phalanx of pikemen, the white shields are modelled on their hoplite forebears and, subsequently, the Alexandrian pike reforms. Their most distinctive feature, and the one which gives them their name, is their white painted shield, emblazoned with the name of their king.
