Hoplite/Pike Infantry

Strong formations make these troops deadly from the front but vulnerable if flanked. They are highly effective against cavalry.

1	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Thr_Hoplites) Thrakioi Hoplitai (Thracian Hoplites) Scale-armoured warriors that number amongst the elite of the Thracian peoples.

2	256	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (thr_medium_pikes) Thrakioi Katoikoi Phalangitai (Thracian Medium Pikemen) A less-well equipped and trained phalanx, this unit is raised from the Greek and Macedonian settlers throughout the Lysimachean kingdom. They are usually equipped with affordable armour and short swords like the xyphos, but bearing the same 60cm wide composite shields of regular phalangites.

3	256	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (thr_pikes) Thrakioi Pezhetairoi (Thracian Pikemen) The backbone of the Thracian army is mainly composed of native Macedonians, some being battle-hardened veterans from the successor conflicts. If used by highly skilled veteran officers, the phalanx is the anvil on which enemy armies are shattered, highy praised as invincible with combined arms.

4	256	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (thr_reformed_hoplites) Thrakioi Iphikratous Phalangitai (Thracian Iphikratean Pikemen) Iphikrates' main reform was to equip his soldiers like lightweight hoplites. They wear the equipment of the peltast, with boots and also a light leather or linen cuirass, instead of the traditional muscled bronze cuirass, in addtion to a light Thracian or Phrygian helmet. Their weapons include a sword, a longer spear, and a light pelte shield instead of the heavy hoplon, so they can handle their spears with the left hand as well, which allows these units to wield sarissas.

5	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (thr_royal_elite_hoplites) Thrakioi Hypaspistai (Thracian Veteran Hoplites) These proven veterans are the most reliable part of the Thracian army of Lysimakos. They are an elite royal unit, appointed to the personal guard of the king, chosen from veterans, and always posted on the weakest part of the phalanx. They are equipped like heavy hoplites, but some of them wear only their tunic with their heavy equipment.

6	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (AOR_11_Massalian_Hoplites) Massaloi Hoplitai (Massilian Hoplites) Hoplites: no other word says Greeks at war in quite the same way.

7	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (AOR_11_Massalian_Thorax_Hoplites) Massaloi Thorakitai Hoplitai (Massilian Thorax Hoplites) These Massilian warriors are equipped in the traditional hoplite style, sporting heavy chainmail cuirasses.

8	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (AOR_22_Babylonian_Spears) Shipri Tukul (Babylonian Heavy Spearmen) These heavy infantrymen use the old pointed Assyrian helmet and have iron scale corselets. They fight with sword and spear, and carry the old-fashioned bronze-faced aspis shield.
8	200	200	1156	1156	231							30	9	13	84	16	20	55
9	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (AOR_28_Scythian_Hoplites) Skythioi Hoplitai (Scythian Hoplites) A man will fight in defence of his home, even if he is not a citizen.
9	200	200	1085	1085	217							29	9	15	56	14	20	35
10	256	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (AOR_29_chalybes_spearmen) Chalyboi Doryphoroi (Chalybes Spearmen) The armour of these spearmen consists of a leather helmet, greaves, and a long quilted linen tunic. Instead of the leather pteryges of a Greek corselet, the Chalybes have plaited cords to provide protection below the cuirass. Their main weapon is a long spear. They are useful against light infantry, but their lack of shields means they are vulnerable to enemy arrows.

11	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (AOR_32_Cypriot_Light_Hoplites) Kypros Ekdromoi Hoplitai (Cypriot Light Hoplites) Discipline is needed to carry a spear and bear a shield in the phalanx.

The Erin-mesh Uriki are drawn from the citizen rolls of Akkadian cities, and are customarily employed as guardians of cities and temples, and as emergency militia during wartime.

22	256	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (AOR_36_Greek_Pikemen) Macedonikoi Phalangitai (Macedonian Pikemen) This tightly packed formation of pikemen is a potent clenched fist aimed at an enemy line.
22	256	256	995	995	199							32	9	10	45	12	20	35
23	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (AOR_37_Illyrian_Hoplites) Illyrioi Hoplitai (Illyrian Hoplites) Bravery and brotherhood march as one in the hoplite phalanx.

Their weapons include the dory, xiphos, and the classic large aspis shield. However, they are more mobile than classic hoplites, useful as flanking heavy infantry rather than a central phalanx unit.

27	200	Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (AOR_9_lucanian_hoplites) Leukanoi Hoplitai (Lucanian Hoplites) Lucanian troops have fought in the ranks of Pyrrhus' army. Some of them are roughly equivalent to the Oscan infantry, but others are equipped as hoplites, with the usual panoply. Like the Campanians, they can give a good account of themselves as medium-heavy support infantry.
