[Sparta] Season Unit Spotlight: Laconic Javelins (T4)

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
In ancient Sparta, not all were forged in the crucible of relentless martial discipline. While the citizen-soldiers formed the spearhead of Spartan power, other groups contributed significantly to their military dominance.

The Perioeci, inhabiting the fringes and coastlines of Laconia, were a people of craft and commerce. Unlike their Spartan counterparts, who lived by the sword, they embraced a more nuanced approach to warfare – one of cunning and precision.

The Laconic Javelins, drawn from the ranks of the Perioeci, embody this tactical approach, bringing a deadly ranged threat to the battlefield.

Unit Inspiration:

The Perioeci, unlike the Spartans raised for war from birth, thrived as artisans and merchants. In their coastal and border settlements, they cultivated a different kind of strength – a strength born of ingenuity and skill. Serving as javelin throwers in the Spartan army, they provided essential ranged support, screening the advance of their Spartan allies and exploiting vulnerabilities in enemy formations.

Their powerful throws, honed through years of craft, propelled meticulously balanced javelins capable of piercing even the thickest armor. Those who dismissed them as mere craftsmen quickly learned the deadly effectiveness of their javelins. At Thermopylae, these stalwart defenders stood alongside their Spartan brethren, their javelins – a storm of piercing steel – answering the Persian arrows and claiming their place in legend.

Featured Gameplay:

The Laconic Javelins excel at ranged harassment and support. Their mobility and specialized javelin techniques allow them to disrupt enemy formations, pick off key targets, and provide crucial cover for advancing Spartan troops.

Unit Skills:
  • Javelin Onslaught: Throw a round of javelins at the current target, inflicting significant damage.

    • Cooldown: 10s
  • Glorious Dash: Sprint in a chosen direction for a fixed duration, allowing use of [Olympian Volley] during the sprint.

    • Cooldown: 20s

    • Dash Duration: 5s
  • Olympian Volley: Throw javelins at extremely distant targets after a long-distance sprint. Range and damage increase with sprint duration.
Note: The final in-game effects and unit values are subject to change upon the season's launch.

[Sparta] Season Unit Spotlight: Helot Auxiliaries (T3)

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
In the heart of ancient Greece, the Spartan war machine stood as a testament to discipline and martial prowess. While the Spartan citizen-soldiers, the Spartiates, dedicated their lives to the pursuit of martial excellence, a less celebrated class formed the very foundation of their military strength: the Helots. These individuals, bound to a life of service, ensured the Spartans could maintain their unwavering focus on the art of war. The Helot Auxiliaries arrive to embody this crucial logistical role, bringing vital support and resupply to the battlefield.

 
Unit Inspiration:
The Spartan military system was unique in ancient warfare. Every Spartan warrior, a highly trained and disciplined soldier, was accompanied by several Helots. These individuals, drawn from the Helot population under Spartan rule, acted as attendants and support personnel. They carried the burdens of weapons, armor, and supplies, freeing the Spartans to concentrate solely on the art of war. Though often overshadowed in historical accounts, the Helots played a critical role in Sparta's military successes. Their tireless efforts allowed the Spartan phalanx to operate with unparalleled efficiency and endurance. At the Battle of Thermopylae, Helots fought and died alongside their Spartan masters, demonstrating their courage and loyalty in the face of impossible odds. Even Leonidas, the iconic Spartan king, relied on Helots to prepare him for battle.
 

 
Featured Gameplay:
The Helot Auxiliaries are a dedicated support unit, vital for maintaining the fighting strength of your Spartan forces. Their abilities focus on resupply and battlefield sustainment, allowing your front-line troops to remain engaged without interruption.
Unit Skills:
  • Ammo Cache: The Helot Auxiliaries deploy a cache of ammunition in front of them. Allied ranged units can replenish their ammunition by collecting supplies from this cache. This ability allows for extended engagements and reduces the need to withdraw for resupply.

  • Ammo Depot: The Helot Auxiliaries construct a temporary supply depot on the battlefield. This depot provides a continuous source of ammunition for nearby allied units, ensuring they can maintain a sustained barrage against the enemy.

Note: The final in-game effects are subject to change upon the season's launch.
