Laconian Hillmen are a type of infantry unit in a Total War Saga: Troy.

Description[]

Blunt weapons may not evoke the daring and grace associated with Homeric heroes, but they remained effective against all but the best-armoured opponent. Given their size and weight, they were wielded almost exclusively by heavy infantry, who favoured protection over speed. One mighty swing of a mace could cave bronze armour, splinter spear shafts, or shatter a chariot wheel mid -charge, but a swift sword strike could make short work of its wielder. Additionally, the thick melees of the Late Bronze Age battlefield made it hard to bring them to bear.
