Who gets it: Athens

Strategoi: Honourable Archontes and Demos of Athens, we, the strategoi, propose to equip some of our soldiers with the oval Thureos shield.

Demos: What? Why? The shield of the Galatians, these treacherous Barbarians?

Strategoi: It is large and cheap to produce, cheaper than the Aspis, so more men can fight and no extra tax is needed.

Demos: No extra taxes and yet we will have more soldiers! Athena be praised, we agree!

Archontes: It is decided!

It fires when at least 10 settlements are held by Athens.

The game checks this at the end of every round.

1 unit can be recruited once it fires:
