Starting Position

The Greek Cities start in mainland greece. (Click to enlarge)

The Greek Cities start with a few cities in mainland Greece, along with several colonies scattered around the Mediterranean and Aegean. They are bordered by the Scipii and Carthage on Sicily , Macedon in Greece and Seleucid Empire in Asia Minor. They are supposedly controlled by Sparta. This is because all the faction rulers have the title "of Sparta". (Example: Kleomenes of Sparta) The democracy is diminished for the Greek Cities are ruled by a king as their faction leader.

Greek Cities are as following:

  • Sparta: Greek Cities Capital; Region - Laconia
  • Rhodes: Greek Cities Large Town; Region - Rhodos
  • Pergamum: Greek Cities Large Town; Region - Phrygia
  • Thermon: Greek Cities Large Town; Region - Aetolia

Armoured Hoplites: Armoured hoplites are an elite among Greek soldiery, carefully selected and given the best training to make them superior spearmen. They are the third most effective spear unit in the game, after sacred band and spartans.
