The Peloponessian League - ][ Hoplite and Skirmisher Alts and Mains Wanted! ][

[Lorenzo_of_Iberia]

wrong the thebans will crush you at battle of leuctra and mantinea

The thebans never 'conquered' the greek city states like the Macedonians

Also the league would have to seperate and fight between two halves before Thebes even came in and did anything.

the thebans did liberate messenia and broke the back of the Peloponesian league, who were allied after the corinthian war. Without the Helots supporting the professional armies of sparta, the resistance against philip rested on the Citizen militia of Athens and Thebes, with a small contingent of sacred band professionals. We all know how that turned out.

You realize that it was Epaminondas that revolutionized military tactics and strategy that allowed philip to engineer his macedonian war machine. Without thebes, there would be no Philip, and no Alexander.

I looked some stuff up (as this is an era I havnt ever known much about) and it reads that Philip apparently was captured by thebes and there is a possibility that he was inspired by the military tactics and strategies of thebes. So I agree maybe Thebes helped create Macedon

If you want a good continual story of this period, you should check out "Hellenica" by Xenophon. Though i'd suggest you read the Histories by Thucydides first, since the Hellenica starts off exactly where Thucydides left off.

And because you spent a great deal of time writing it

This faction looks way cool, love the organization, and the theme really suits me (Spear n Shield). Looking for a clan to help me learn the game further, and get me into the community with ease. Looks great so far, but I'm NA; maybe open it to North Americans aswell?

If enough NA apply I'm sure an NA branch could work

Hoplites will take over this world!   

[Lorenzo_of_Iberia]

Ok guys well I've been playing quite regularly on my Hoplite character and I've been thoroughly enjoying it

To all those who have shown interest, I have made a steam group for people to join so I can contact those of you who are willing to help me take this somewhere, the steam group is here : http://steamcommunity.com/groups/PeloponessianLeague/

Additionally if players interested can post in their characters names on this forum with the PL tag as well as their build we can see what we got and make the next step

Thanks ;)

Lorenzo I hope you're not using/planning to use GKs SOP. Its trademarked you know. 

On a serious note: If you need/want my help I could tweak our "Basic Commands" to suit this type of fighting.

Fru fru The SOP works well for GK, but for a formation of spears its too loose I feel ;)

And as for the equipment I am already using the barbutte and huscarl shield but I had never considered the mail, that I imagine would look awesome ;)

I often play as hoplite /anti Cav works well for me although i suggest the elite Cavalary Shield because its lighting fast and got ok shieldwidth and I think Warspear is such the best in INF meele
