City States

The Lochagos is critical promotion for a veteran Hoplite who has taken a permanent position in his City State’s military. They quarter and fight on the frontline with the troops, but are present in all of the staff meetings an army on the march may have. This insight into the Officer’s thinking allows them to quickly relay orders and adapt to the flow of battle, making sure the army fights as a unified whole. How They Play The disciplined and drilled Hoplite and Phalangite would not be nearly as effective without the presence of these Officers on the battlefield. Lochagoi or "Diavivastes" ensure that the orders coming in from commanding officers are quickly and effectively relayed to the troops in the front lines allowing for impeccable coordination between Regiments. In both The Last Argument of Kings and First Blood this Officer acts as the voice of their commanding officer, relaying orders and ensuring that they are carried out!

Agema are, without a doubt, the best fighters available to a City States commander. They are invariably the personal guard of rules, tyrants and council members alike. Armed, armored and augumented to the highest standards that a ruler can afford, the notion of failure or defeat is anathema to these elite soldiers, who are trained to fight and win on any battlefield under any circumstance.

How They Play Agema are veterans and the finest warriors selected from the ranks of the Thorakites. They retain the same mobility and flexibility whilst sporting upgraded stats, at a price. Place Agema in your Strategic Stack and combine their activation with a withdrawing Hoplites/Phalangites Regiment. Where the Hoplites/Phalangites withdraw the Agema may immediately take advantage charging through gaps in the enemy lines!

Every army of the City States that marches to war, does so under the supervision of at least one Mechanist. One could be forgiven for believing he is there to ensure the smooth operation of the army and the countless machines, both big and small, that are so vital to the smooth operation of a City State’s army. What many fail to recognize is that they are there to ensure that reality itself operates along the rules and parameters laid out in their Lexicons by their Divinity.

While the Titans were convinced of the need to aid the Scholae and their Founder in their efforts, not all of them agreed how. The Prometheans chose to aid them by sharing with them the secrets of Creation, the Hephaestian chose a different path: that of Destruction. Looking upon mankind and worried of what they would make of the weapons they had been gifted, the Hephaestian’s chose instead to become the weapons bringing their overwhelming power onto the battlefield on behalf of their mortal allies.

Much of a City States bureaucratic apparatus is selected through a rigorous civil service exam, but the Aristarch is an exception. Handpicked from the pool of Aspirant Polemachoi by the ruling power of a City State; be it a Council, a Tyrant or even a God, an Aristarchos embodies all of the virtues of a city State and is thus chosen to lead its forces on campaign. Tested and trained to a standard even higher than that of the Polemarch, his studies focus instead on strategy, philosophy, politics and economics, allowing him to serve the role of general, ambassador or governor as needs dictate to further the power and glory of his City.
