This. Is. Kansai! In this episode, we debut the first in our Warriors series. This series will take a warrior type from history and discuss key elements that you can use to make any character in any game setting a little more alive. First up, Hoplites. Are you ready to make your character worthy to stand with swift-footed Achilles and the cunning Odysseus?
Duration - 58:06 Idle Red Hands Blog postDirect Download Note: As we'll be dropping Warriors: Musketeers this week, I thought it was appropriate to direct people towards our first real* Warriors episode so they'll know what to expect. *We did a Knights and Samurai episode (we're in Japan so we can't not do an episode on samurai) prior to Warriors: Hoplites, but it doesn't count as a "real" Warriors episode, as we were still getting the structure of the series down. Sorry to disappoint people, but knights and samurai were basically the same thing. Also, katanas suck. They were only good for cutting in a very specific way through a very specific armor type. If a European knight and a Japanese samurai ever fought, the knight would win. Go listen to that episode if you don't believe me. I'll wait...

Are you trying to start a knights vs. samurai discussion on the Hoplite thread?

First half hour of this could also come in handy for background info. Features history students in practical demonstration of a phalanx.
