Skeuophoroi is a Polemarch technology in Chronicles: Battle for Greece available to the Spartans at the Town Center upon reaching the Classical Age. Once researched, it increases the attack of Polemarchs by +2 and grants them a shield against projectiles (similar to what Shrivamsha Riders have). The shield enables them to dodge 5 projectiles over 45 seconds.
Trivia[]
- A skeuphoros/skeuophoros (σκευοφόρος, Greek for porter or baggage carrier) refers to a slave in the Spartan army whose duty was to carry the belongings and provisions of a soldier.[1]
- The design of the Spartan shield featured in the icon appears to be inspired by the film 300, which presents a highly-fictionalized depiction of the Battle of Thermopylae.
