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!
