It not only enabled them, but actually forced them to be superior soldiers as a small group of Spartans had to dominate an enormous number of subjects and unwilling allies. The Spartan army was superior in Hellas, and in the rest of the known world. No other army was so well trained, and had such excellent equipment. They believed that traditional training was the key to success, and for centuries they were correct, as they rarely lost a battle in spite of their small numbers. Ironic enough, this concept ended the Spartan supremacy, as the Spartan phalanx could not resist the new sloped Theban phalanx and the invading integrated Macedonian forces. The end of the Spartan power marked the decline of the domination of traditional phalanx warfare. units/hele_champion_infantry_polis.png diff --git a/binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/templates/units/hele_champion_ranged_polis.xml b/binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/templates/units/hele_champion_ranged_polis.xml index 97b1de9c9f..f3388f309b 100644 --- a/binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/templates/units/hele_champion_ranged_polis.xml +++ b/binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/templates/units/hele_champion_ranged_polis.xml @@ -2,6 +2,7 @@ hele + Athenian Ekdromos Ekdromos Athenaikos Bonused vs. Support Units and Ranged Units.

Development of the Hoplite took many twists and turns based on the changing dynamics on the field of battle. Once armies began using Peltasts imported from Thrace something had to be done to counter this barrage of javelins thrown into the midst of a phalanx. The Thebans began to increase the armor of their hoplites, but the Athenians took a completely different approach and lightened the load for their infantry. The Ekdromoi would dash out from the phalanx, close with the enemy ranged units at speed, and cut them down at will. This approach also worked to harass more heavily armed troops as well, the enemy carrying too much weight to catch the vexatious Ekdromoi. diff --git a/binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/templates/units/hele_infantry_archer_b.xml b/binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/templates/units/hele_infantry_archer_b.xml index 8aa3e693fb..04b955764f 100644 --- a/binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/templates/units/hele_infantry_archer_b.xml +++ b/binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/templates/units/hele_infantry_archer_b.xml @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ hele units/hele_infantry_archer_b - Mercenary Infantry Archer + Cretan Mercenary Archer Toxotes Kretikos Archers were used in Hellenistic armies to support the phalanx by splitting up enemy formations.
