Adoption of the Thorakitai
Who gets it: Seleucid Empire, Seleucid Rebels, Seleucid Rebels and Lysiad Kingdom
Greetings, mighty Basileios, may you live long and prosper, Agathe Tyche. Our Macedonian soldiers are the best in the world, sons of the divine Herakles themselves, worthy of Alexander the demigod. Yet, sometimes us mortals have to change, and it seems that now a new type of armour has become available, which will protect the Thorax (chest) of our soldiers. Allow us to retrain our men to fight as Thorakitai and you will see how effective our Greek armour is. Long live the dynasty of Seleukos!
