Well, if the council agrees to building a factional MIC in Athenai, we could build it for 3000 mnai in 6 seasons. That would give us Ekdromoi Hoplitai (Light Hoplites) which are 10/21. If we decide to wait and update Sparte's MIC, it would cost 7500 mnai and take two years. That would allow us to build Hoplitai (Classical Greek Hoplites) which are 10/23 for roughly the same cost. We would also gain access to Hippeis (Medium Greek Cavalry), which are the best cavalry we can have until we conquer Thessalia, but remember that Athenai already has a blacksmith in place. If we wait to upgrade in Sparte, our best armies will consist of Hoplitai Haploi from Athenai and Peltastai from Sparte for some years. Not a very formidable force.
