OPTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

 - Adonnay's Troop Changer v1. 4. 10 - This will allow you to recruit these units from Empire cultured towns and settlements.

NOT Recommended to use with Realistic Battle Mod 'Combat Module'.

- This file will improve the performance of spears in a shield wall formation.

- Simply place the hoplites in a shield wall and tell them to hold onto their spears.

- Hoplites are more than twice as effective in this formation with these files vs in loose formation.

- As enemies approach the shield wall, spear lunges will start being thrown successfully without being blocked allied troops shields.

- Hoplites in the second and third rank will be making lunges over the front line.

- Hoplites in this formation will sustain less casualties, but try to make sure they don't get flanked.

I've tested this extensively, but if you have any feedback or suggestions then feel free to drop them in the comments or message me.

Update 5. 3. 0

- Added an optional file patch for compatibility for the CA Eagle Rising mod. Use that if you want to play both mods.

- Split the Spartan Greek troop trees to that the hoplite recruit is now a basic troop which should appear more frequently in settlements.

- You can now recruit greek and hoplite units from any settlement, regardless of culture. This means that you'll have convenient access to these units no matter the culture you decide play with.

Update 5. 2. 0

- Added Pilos helmet (from Hellenic Panoply) to Spartan Youth (100% spawn rate) and Trained Hoplite Soldier (50% spawn rate)

- Tweaked damage of Kopis and Xiphos swords for balancing

Update 5. 1. 1

- Fixed crash on the crafting screen

Update 5. 1. 0

- Reduced damage stats slightly (around 10%) of the Hellenic Xiphos sword for balancing

Update 5. 0. 0.

As always it's such a great community on the nexus, I've been able to leverage some great assets from other mods to bring these troops to life and make them feel a bit more authentic. These Spartans are not longer naked and now come with correctly styled corinthian helmets, hoplon shields and scaled linen cuirasses! The supporting light units are also equip with pelta shields.

- Added Spartan Kopis Sword, inspired by the movie '300'. Kudos to Dawa221 for the creative talent. Check out his mod page --> Spartan Sword

- Added Greek body armour (linen cuirass and bronze plate), helmets, shields (hoplon) and Xiphos sword. Many thanks to ACardboardBox (nocturnalfox) for allowing me to make use of his absolutely amazing assets. If you
