Class: missile · Category: infantry · Men per unit: 40
This unit represents a mix of the average Ephebes, the Basilikoi Paidoi, and the Kynegoi. Armed with shortbows and a Hoplite spear, these young men between 15 and 20 years old can be deployed in various roles on the battlefield, but should be protected from heavier engagements. Due to their youth they are bold, ferocious and strong runners, but also inexperienced and not used to the terror of a real fight. If you are lvcky, you will be able to note the colourful tones of their clothes.
