Greeks

Latest revision as of 08:59, 4 June 2018

The lands under ancient Greek occupation eclipsed the country as it is today, comprised of almost 400 independent city-states. With honourable and skilled warriors at their disposal, Greece’s martial prowess encompasses spear infantry, archers, cavalry, pike men, and slingers. Their combination of stalwart defensive units and strong ranged attackers makes Greek battle lines difficult to penetrate.

Commanders

King Leonidas

Resolve and power forms King Leonidas' battle plan. Forming the ultimate defensive wall, his shield bash can disrupt and break enemy lines. His ability to both hide from missile attacks and create an impenetrable bulwark allows Leonidas to hold his ground.

Miltiades

Powerful yet brittle, the eponymous archon Miltiades targets both body and mind. His rapid infantry charge and ability to wound downed enemies means his best work is performed on the flank. Being able to inflict targeted defence and morale damage allows Miltiades to soften up foes for more attack-minded units.

Alexander the Great

The Great King Alexander focuses on pinpoint strikes to disable and scatter enemy forces. His 'hammer' charge ploughs through units, opening them up for capture between the 'anvil', which can lock foes in place. His highly mobile cavalry units are perfect for hunting down the enemy in wedge formation.

Cynane

The Illyrian Princess Cynane is a born hunter. Excelling at supporting and striking manoeuvres, her quick movement and tracking abilities allow her to pursue and mark prey on the battlefield. Her bows' lightning-fast reload speeds give rise to Cynane as a perfect hit-and-run sharpshooter.
