In-game description

The Turma (plural: Turmae) is an Atlantean ranged soldier available in the Classical Age. They are only good against other archers. Turmae are similar to Egyptian Slingers, but are stronger, more expensive and more mobile.

Gameplay

Turmae make excellent raiders because their attributes make them very resistant to ranged attacks, and they can defeat most archers easily. They also have a strong bonus against Throwing Axemen, but it is mitigated to some extent by their low hack armor, which makes anything other than true archers very dangerous, especially cavalry that can outrun them. In the Classical Age they are also important as they are the only way for the Atlanteans to counter archers in that age. Unlike the Norse and Greeks they cannot train true cavalry until the Heroic Age, thus Turmae fulfill the anti-archer role for the Classical Age but are essentially obsolete or relegated to a support role by the Heroic Age.

History

"The swift, front-armored Atlantean Turma is exceptionally good against archers such as the Toxotes and Arcus, but is weak against all other units. The training of the Atlantean Turma was very focused and dangerous, requiring years to perfect. Both horse and rider had to be athletic, tough, and fast. A veteran Turma could kill a bird in flight with a well-aimed javelin throw. The horses, descended from wild Atlantean stock, were no less exceptional. These horses were so prized that capturing even one from the Atlanteans in battle was considered great good fortune - even if the battle was lost. Many great bloodlines were founded in other regions by such captured Atlantean stock."

Trivia

Despite being mounted, Turmae can be garrisoned into towers and Town Centers just like foot units.
The name "Turma" originates from Roman military terminology referring to a squadron of cavalry units.

-Hoplites are best used to counter cavalry units. However, in a skirmish, most cavalry units will simply be able to run away from them. Hoplites are quite versatile as they can defeat most other infantry units. However, like all infantry they are vulnerable to counter-infantry and ranged soldiers (except for Turmae).
+{{InfoboxNeue
-Hoplites are well armored, and, of the four standard infantry units, they have the most hit points - far more than the [[Spearman]] and [[Berserk]]. However, they are also the most expensive, slowest, and have the longest training time. This makes rushing with them more difficult, except for Zeus players, whose Hoplites move faster and do extra damage to buildings.

-{{Quote|The predominate Greek soldier of antiquity was the Hoplite, named after the great round shield he carried into battle. Hoplites wore helmets, leg armor, and chest armor, and carried a great long spear. They fought in dense columns with the spear points from several ranks projecting out from the formation. They thus presented a formidable block bristling with spears held above the shoulder. In battle they would close with the enemy as a pushing wall of shields, stabbing with their spears over the shields. Men behind would push those in front and stab over them. This fighting was face-to-face and terrifying, requiring high skill and discipline. Battles were usually short but deadly. Before the rise of the Hoplite, most army fighting had been more long-range archery and posturing. The Greeks made war personal and intense, and Hoplites dominated ancient battlefields for centuries.|In-game compendium}}

-* The Hoplite went through a few design changes throughout the development. Originally, they would wear linothorax armor in their Champion upgrade.
+* The name "Turma" originates from Roman military terminology referring to a squadron of cavalry units.
-* Hoplites were also to use square shields, inspired by the Mycenaeans tower shields, some months before release. However, Ensemble Studios decided to revert back to them using Hoplon-type shields, most likely because they were more distinctive.
