Pelagic Thessalians are a type of infantry unit in a Total War Saga: Troy.

Description[]

Given the critical importance of trade across the Aegean, it comes as no surprise that the Achaeans were highly skilled in naval warfare. They rammed their long ships, dubbed the “horses of the sea,” onto the beach in a close formation to shield the disembarking men from arrows. Achaeans were also known to employ massive spears measuring up to four metres, which they used to thrust at soldiers on enemy ships; according to Homer, Ajax employed one such weapon to fend off the Trojans when they attempted to set fire to the Achaean fleet.
