Greek Ekdromoi are hoplites but without the body armor
Ill post an img one's im done
Idea:
They act as normal Hoplites but have lower stats cost 4-5 turns but has an ability when he's beside a hoplite he gets +1speed unstackable
Ekdromoi are just like normal hoplites but can run out of the phalanx to chase the escaping enemies

Stats:

27hp
11power
5/3
3speed
100%resist
Same bonuses

Active effect:
Leave phalanx
Desc. "This unit is ordered to leave his phalanx to chase escaping enemies"
Gives +1 speed(unstackable lasts 1turn)
Rng 1

Help me at stats

Stat change:
4turns
26hp
11
4/3
Same

Nice

@QuadrupoleStrathelp me at the sprite it should look like a hoplite without cape chest plate skirt and shin guards and metal shoes so it should look like a greek townsman but with corinthian helmet hopis spear and Tsinellaslol(slippers)

What will he wear at the bottoms ?

Let me do & post it tomorrow I got a new sleeping schedule..I have to sleep at 11:00pm

Those wooden slippers I know greeks have those heres a template

Lemme do it Tommorow

4/3 is too much even with the helmet and the shield
if they are melee speciallist ... it should have 2/1
also, i dont like the ability, if they leave the phalanx formation then they would run in scattered formation, so they wouldnt be next to the other.
in other words, just give them 4 speed.
if they are light troops, then thoy would have lower attack, but since they are melee speciallist 10 is ok...
what about bonuses?
i dont like the spartan hoplite not having bonus v cav.
maybe against light units...

I suggest 2/2

Looks great!

That's sandals

My Stats suggestion
Trained at barracks & tc
Cost: 4
Hp 23
Atk 11
Armoire 2/2
Spd 4
Sight 5
Heal bonus 3.0
SR: 100%
Bonuses:
75% infantry melee ( melee combat specialists )
100% light infantry ( melee combat specialists )

Also here's the link about ekdromoi https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source= ... WmXaIzx9Yq

i agree with 2/2 armor.
about bonuses, i would change it:
+50% v foot ranged
+100% v light inf, mounted

since is a spearman is logical to give them bouns against cav, also, bonus against ranged because they leave the formation to catch routing enemies, i can suposse to catch skirmishers that are shooting the phalanx...i used mi imagination here so its not like something i am sure about...

They will only have 3 speed, they acted as hoplites that chases down fleeing enemies when ordered to.
How about an ability that gives him +1speed for 1-3 turn but have a cooldown of 2-4 turns they wouldnt have 4speed because of the wieght of their equipment
They are like clean up units but acted as a tank at the start of battle then chases some enemies at the end of the battle.

Sprint as an ability

Yeah sprint ability. But have a CD

Replace the V with a sun or team colored circle so it will not be a Spartan
