Alexandros Preview 2: The Greek Cities

[Lusted]

Today i give you the 2nd preview of Alexandros, detailing the units that are available to the Greek cities faction. The Greek Cities will not be playable in campaign, only Macedon is. They will be playable in custom battles.

Note: i don't know how accurate most of the units are. Some such as the Athenian Hoplitai and Iphkrates Hoplitai i know to be accurate, others i've had to go on what little i find. The units are not being changed, so please do not comment on the accuracy of them. If you see speling mistakes please do correct me.

I have used some of the units beee from Megas Alexandros sent me, some of webbirds skins, the plume from ATG's spartans and small parts of LaCas work in these units.

The basic greek units: hoplitai, ekdromoi hoplitai, hippeis will be recruitable by Macedon if a certain government type is built. More info will be in the recruitment poreview which will not be until after the map is finished.

Cavalry

Whilst the Greeks are best known for their hoplites, they did use calary, albeit it in small numbers.

Hippeis Hegemonos



The bodyguard unit of the Greek generals.

Hippeis



Good medium cavalry, well able to take on light cavalry and skirmishers, but no match for the Macedonian heavy cavalry.

Infantry

Ekdromoi Hoplitai



"Out-runner" hoplitai who are lighter than normal hoplitai and are used to chase down skirmishers.

Hoplitai



Hoplitai are the backbone of Greek armies.

Iphkrates Hoplitai



Hoplitai armed and armoured as a result of Iphikrates reforms.

Athenian Hoplitai



Athenian Hoplitai are heavily armoured hoplitai well equipped for battle.

Corinthian Hoplitai



Armoured hoplitai from the city state of Corinth. Only available in custom battle in the mod, will only appear in the campaign if the Greeks take Corinth.

Theban Hoplitai



Whilst not the elite of the Sacred Band, they are more than a match for ordinary Hoplitai.

Theban Sacred Band



The legendary Sacred Band of Thebes, who were at least the equals of the Spartans.

Spartan Hoplitai



Extremely well disciplined hoplites from the legendary city state.(most of unit is beeee's, i just added a plume and lamba on shield)

Spartan Agema



The elite of the elite. Some of the best warriors in the world.

Missile Troops

Akontistai



Javelin armed skirmishers

Toxotai



Poorly armoured archers.

Rhodian Spendonetai



Skilled slingers from Rhodes.

Cretan Toxotai



Well armoured and armed archers from Crete, capable of giving a good account in close combat.
