Symmachoi Thureophoroi Machairaphoroi

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.

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 Neohomoioi Thorakitai Hoplitai
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 Their tactics may seem outdated but only a fool would not treat them as great threat on the battlefield.

Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Gre_Periokoi_Hoplites)
Perioikoi Hoplitai
(Perioikoi Hoplites)

Subjects of the Spartan kingdom are called to war to fight amongst the phalanx. While they are not Spartan citizens, their combat prowess is still above that of the average Greek, and they form a solid hoplite unit.

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 Homoioi Hoplitai
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.

Neohomoioi Phalangitai

Symmachoi Thureophoroi

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.

200 Spartiatai Epheboi
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.

100 Symmachoi Hippeis
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.

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 Homoioi Hippeis
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.

140 Tower Penteres - Epibatoi
Medium Ship / Melee Ship / (Gre_Assault_Quinquereme_Admiral)
Tower Penteres - Epibatoi
A quinquereme is a 45 meter long galley with three decks of oars, in a pattern of 2-2-1 oarsmen, developed around 400 BCE by the Syracusans. Its large size allows many marines on board, and also allows ballistae to be mounted on the large decks.

(Greek Marines)

Soldiers trained for perilous service aboard the galleys of the navy, but also as an offensive force on land.

A trireme is a 37 meter long oared warship (galley) with three decks of oars, developed from the bireme in the 5th century BCE. Popular with Carthaginian, Greek and Roman navies, this is the main warship of the classical age.

Assault Tetreres - Epibatoi
A quadrireme is a 39 meter long oared warship with two decks of oars, each rowed by two oarsmen. It is a useful battleship developed by the Carthaginians at the end of the 4th century BCE, but it lacks the speed and agility of lighter triremes.

A bireme is a 30 meter long oared warship (galley) with two decks of oars, thought to have been invented by the Phoenicians in the 8th century BCE. Often called a liburnia in later Roman fleets, these swift yet durable warships are excellent for boarding actions and coastal patrols.

Light Ship / Missile Ship / (Gre_Raiding_Hemolia)
Raiding Hemiolia - Epibatoi Toxotai
A hemiolia is a light and fast raiding ship developed in the 4th century BCE, favoured by pirates but also used by navies as a light patrol ship. It has one and a half rows of oars, making it faster and more powerful than earlier uniremes.
