Sparta Military (Recruitment) Level 5

Monument of Leonidas

King Leonidas was the Spartan's Spartan. In 480BC, he led 300 hoplites, his personal guard, north to the pass of Thermopylae to fight a mighty Persian army under Xerxes. Leonidas could bring no more men, because a sacred festival would not allow more of the Spartans to go to war. Xerxes had, seemingly, brought everyone in the east against the Greeks. Although in his 60s, Leonidas personally led the defence of the narrow pass and held it for two days before his force was betrayed and cut down from the rear. The Persians killed everyone and mutilated the body of Leonidas. His defence, however, bought time and that time gave the Greeks their eventual victory. Leonidas' heroics were the epitome of being Spartan, and forty years later his remains were exhumed and the 'Leonidaeum', a monumental shrine, was built to inspire all those who looked upon it.

1	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Gre_Helot_Javelinmen) Heilotes Akontistai (Helot Javelinmen) Even the meanest slave can throw a javelin at an enemy.

2	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Gre_Heroes_Sparta) Neohomoioi Thorakitai Hoplitai (Spartan Thorax Hoplites) These hoplites represent the final stage of Spartan social and cultural reforms. Their tactics may seem outdated but only a fool would not treat them as great threat on the battlefield.
		200	1279	1279								35	9	19	79	16	20	70
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.
		175	572	572				15	90	10	7	33	7	13	53	3	20	50
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.
		200	798	798								39	10	17	57	6	20	60
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.
		175	785	785				9	165	5	15	14	7	6	34	8	20	40
8	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Gre_Spar_Thorax_Hoplites) Neohomoioi Hoplitai (Reformed Spartan Hoplites) Due to the dwindling Spartan citizen population, late Spartan rulers have needed to increase the amount of avaliable soldiers through social reforms. Increased manpower and the return of old martial traditions like the Agoge are bringing back the old strength of Sparta.
		200	1161	1161								32	9	17	75	14	20	70
9	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.
		200	1144	1144								41	10	14	78	12	20	65
10	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Gre_Spar_Thureos_Cav) Symmachoi Thureophoroi Prodromoi (Allied Thureos Cavalry) Not all subjects of Sparta are able to provide heavy cavalry. These horsemen serve as fast skirmishers, providing ranged support to other troops.
		120	1321	1321				14	85	9	5	26	10	17	44	10	20	45
11	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.
		120	1241	1241				14	85	8	5	23	9	13	26	10	20	40
12	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.
		300	328	328								21	9	10	46	1	20	40
13	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.
		200	1044	1044								30	9	15	72	12	20	60
14	100	Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Gre_Spartan_Lancers) Symmachoi Hippeis (Allied Cavalry) Even Sparta has noticed the importance of cavalry on the battlefield. Instead of trying to develop their own cavalry ethos, the later kings of Sparta rely on more skilled allies and mercenaries to provide reliable horsemen.
		100	1804	1804								33	9	29	45	14	20	55
15	256	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Gre_Spartan_Pike) Neohomoioi Phalangitai (Spartan Pikemen) A hundred years after the defeat of classical Greek troops at Chaeronea, Cleomenes III would decide to add a pike corps to his own armies. This change would not have been possible without the corresponding social reforms increasing the available manpower of the Spartan state.
		256	999	999								32	9	11	49	12	20	55
16	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.
