Hoplite Phalanx
Description
The Greek hoplites were the first professional soldiers, and these units possess unmatched skill with sword, spear and shield. Every Greek soldier hopes to equal the fierce prowess of the Spartans, and they regularly fight—and win—against superior numbers.
Currently forced to lend their impressive striking power to the Egyptians, for whom they successfully assault difficult positions, this pairing is an uneasy partnership. The unnerving presence of the undead serves as a constant and graphic reminder that the Egyptians and the Greeks see the world — and the afterlife — very differently.
