Games where you just click a hard countering unit and then click the enemy and go grab a snack while the battle runs are terrible - and what StarCraft 2 is for. Maneuvering, local superiority, exhaustion, timing of charges, and flanking are now much more critical. If you gear swordsmen anywhere near the flank or rear of spearmen, or manage to get some penetration into their lines - the spearmen will just flat out drop. Its about 3ft tall and completly circular. Sometimes they would hang a heavy leather curtain off the bottom to protect the feet and legs. Also, how broad/deep the ranks are of each unit matters a lot. The shield, called a Hoplon which is where they get their name, weighs about 8kg, or 18pds for you freaks that dont use metric Its made of mostly wood and faced with bronze and backed by leather. Levels of exhaustion matter a lot more now, so special ability use needs to be well timed. A lot of these reports of swordsmen not being able to beat spearmen involve units that are either not like-costed, or that have really terrible armor values. Not speaking to Spartans, whom I don't have much experience with, but as for Hoplites in general - they're fine. Some say hoplites are OP, others say they need more buffing.how to make heads and tails of what is to be done? Deeper formation increases bracing capability against cav charge and make it easier to move around but less men fight at the same tie Longer formation make more of your men fight at the same time while being vulnerable to cav charge and hard to move around. The hoplites wore a simple woolen cloak, dyed red to hide any bloodstains. These were shorter swords than other Greek examples since the Spartans favored close hand-to-hand combat. Each soldier, known as a hoplite, carried a shield, a spear, and a sword. I really like how rank depth now plays a big role in the battles. Spartan military equipment was simple but effective.
but ****.Īll battles lasted well over 10 minutes. I got a 3 man deep formation of heroes of sparta to beat oathsworn down to 30 men. Some shields had a thin sheet of bronze on the outer face, often just around the rim. A hoplon shield was a deeply dished shield made of wood. a 120 man unit with 850 cost steamrolled the shield bearer unit completely, just losing a third of the men. The shield, aspis in Greek, was carried by Greek infantry (hoplites) of various periods and is often referred to as a hoplon. but then I stretched them out to meet the line (4 men deep formation) and they simply rekt the shield bearers. got them beaten barely by shield bearers. I guess they deserve a buff, as to have a more cost effective mid hoplite due to their lack of swords spartan hoplites beat late libians but by a small margin. Made from bonded bronze and measures 14 3/8'H.
