These are the units currently availabel to the faction of Sparta, Not including the helots yet)



Skiritai

The sciritai were a greoup of peoples living around the polis of Sparta who were not full citizens but wer allowed to stay in exchange for verious services, notably the sciritai served as light troops that attacked the enemy phalanx from the left side while they were advancing towards the Spartan phalanx. Their main use is that they are effective javelineers, but they can also serve as effective wordsmen should they be required.

relatively inexpensive, good morale, effective in melee



Tegean Hoplitai

Sparta when it had acheived Hegemony was able to all on a larger number of allies and auxiliaries than ever before. This enabled it to maintain it's dominance for a very long time. Tegea was one of the mian benefactors to Sparta's allied hoplites, they are well armoed and armoured, but they do not like that they are fighting for an enemy king's hegemony...

Decent morale, well armoured, expensive



Perioikoi Hoplitai

the Perioikoi were another group of peoples living around Sparta that weren't full citizens. The perioikoi contributed to Sparta's military in the form of a body of excellent hoplites. These men are more well armoured than the core Spartans themselves, but are less skilled, even so they will form a rock-hard piece of the powereful Spartan Shield-wall

Good morale, well-armoured, expensive



Ekdromoi

Ekdromoi (meaning outrunner) hoplites were an invention that came into play late in the Classical era. They were armed with less armour than the other hoplites, carrying either their own clothing or a suit of light iphicratean armor. Their lightness made them ale to lash out before the main battle and strike quickly at a piece of the enemy phalanx in order to disrupt it to let the main battle line break the enemy there

good morale, lightly armoured, fast, relatively inexpensive



Hippeis

Greek cavalry were armed very lightly and often only carried a number of javelins and a short lance or sword for melee. Greek cavalry were also known to have been able to break an enemy formation of hoplites if they were able to wrap around behind them and strike at a flank.

Good morale, lightly armoured, fast, expensive



Hippeis hoplites

The Spartan kings picked for their bodyguard the best of the best. 300 hand-picked warriors from within the ranks of Spartiati. They are not much different from other Spartans except for their excellent armor, which only comes to them because of their position in the aristocracy or nobility. On the field they are an awesome force and always belong on the frontline.

Unbreakable morale, heavily armoured, exceedingly expensive
