Hoplites

Here I present to you the work of King Louise Assurbanipal (Polish graphic skinner) who prepared a truly amazing collection of hoplite units skins for another game. This page would take ages to load if I put them all here, so you need to click on active links to open separate pages in order to see those units. I also added some information about Spartan and Athenean army. All units and history of their regions are grouped up according to their geographical location. Enjoy!
