The Sassanids (Empire Divided) Army Tier 2

Intensified Physical Conditioning

In Sparta, baby boys were examined by its elders at birth. Those considered too weak were cast from Mount Taygetos, but the worthy faced a childhood designed to condition them for the physical demands of war. The 'agoge' training program was the most demanding in the ancient world and bred a hugely efficient and universally feared fighting force. If a boy survived to the age of thirteen he was subjected to a further seven years of formal military training until finally, aged twenty, he would be considered to have reached manhood, ready to become a true warrior of Sparta. This 'Gold Standard' set by the Spartans reverberated down the centuries, as successive powers trained elite forces as shock troops that could turn the tide of battle when deployed at the right moment.
